- Princess Eugenie is married to Jack Brooksbank
- They just celebrated their 5th anniversary
- THIS is what Eugenie shared online
Whilst plenty of members of the immediate and extended Royal Family regularly feature in the royals’ official Instagram posts highlighting their work, Princess Eugenie is the only one known to have a personal account on the platform. As a non-working royal the King’s niece has a little more freedom to move away from tradition and protocols and she often shares unique glimpses of her life on social media.
Yesterday marked Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank's fifth wedding anniversary, and in honor of the celebratory occasion, the royal shared a previously unseen video from the couple's fairytale nuptials, as well as a glimpse at their lives now as parents to two boys.
Eugenie is spreading the joy
On Thursday, the royal posted a previously unseen video that captured the magic of her Oct. 12, 2018 nuptials to Jack Brooksbank. Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson’s younger daughter married Jack in a storybook ceremony at St. George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle. Flashing forward to their lives now, it's easy to see things went right! Eugenie included their first publicly released family portrait with both of their sons, 2-year-old son August and 4-month-old son Ernest as well!
The video shows Jack getting ready for the big day, as well as the wedding ceremony underway inside St. George's Chapel, and many other beautiful moments.
In previous years Princess Eugenie stunned in an unseen wedding snap and posted a beautiful photo of her and Jack kissing in the carriage on their big day. But for their fifth anniversary, Princess Eugenie’s video celebrated not just their marriage but where they are now living the life they’ve built together in those five years.
After clips that included everything from Princess Eugenie’s tiara getting put on for the big day to Jack arriving and the couple excitedly walking back down the aisle after saying, "I do", the video came to an end with a previously-unseen snap. It showed the couple standing on the beach beaming, with two-year-old August standing on the sand in a cute striped t-shirt. Held carefully in a hot pink towel in Princess Eugenie’s loving arms was baby Ernest who was born in May 2023. Unusually for Princess Eugenie, the mum-of-two decided to include a snap of both sons directly facing the camera, perhaps suggesting that this was a personal family photo.

Great news!
This is only the third photo of Ernest that’s ever been shared with the world and the first two showed him at just a few days old, one on his own and one with August looking down at his brother. August has appeared several times on Princess Eugenie’s Instagram account but aside from a couple of posts, his face is generally angled away from the camera protecting his privacy at such a young age.
Eugenie continues the only member of the royal family to let fans have such an intimate look inside. Her Instagram page is constantly full of gold for royal fans. Although many have criticized that in the past as well, demanding for royal princesses to be more regal and private. While others enjoy the human side of the social media posts.
Princess Eugenie’s new picture of August and Ernest is a lovely snapshot of family life either way. It’s not known when we could next see Princess Eugenie alongside her fellow royals, though it’s possible it could be closer to Christmas time when the Royal Family often step out to attend occasions together. With August and Ernest still so young, though, it’s likely that fans’ next glimpse of them will be in another Instagram post rather than in-person.
