Princess Eugenie has publicly commemorated her eighth wedding anniversary with husband Jack Brooksbank, highlighting his role as a devoted father to their children. The couple, who tied the knot at St George’s Chapel in Windsor in 2018, first crossed paths during a ski trip in Verbier, Switzerland, back in 2010.

On Monday, October 12, Princess Eugenie, 36, took to Instagram to share a touching video of Jack, 40, cradling their two-month-old daughter, Adelaide. In the video, Jack is seen lovingly massaging the baby’s head and gently patting her back, while she gazes out the window. Accompanying the sweet footage was the caption, “Happy 8 years married my love 🥳,” alongside a snippet of The Beatles’ classic “Here Comes the Sun.”
The tribute didn’t stop there. Eugenie conveyed her admiration for Jack’s parenting skills, stating, “What you can’t hear in this video is Jack asking our daughter if she likes her head being massaged that way… so thoughtful, caring, and best Dada there is to our 3.” She concluded with heartfelt words expressing her gratitude for their relationship, stating, “Couldn’t have wished for a better partner. ♥️♥️♥️.”
The couple’s journey began when they met in Verbier over a decade ago. Their chemistry was evident from the start, leading to their first date just weeks later at a restaurant in Notting Hill, London. Reflecting on their initial encounter, Eugenie recalled feeling a flurry of nerves, stating, “You came over and shook my hand, and I was all butterflies and nervous,” during an appearance on ITV’s This Morning shortly before their wedding in 2018.
Princess Eugenie and Jack’s family has expanded in recent years. They welcomed their first child, son August Philip Hawke Brooksbank, on February 9, 2021, followed by another son, Ernest George Ronnie Brooksbank, born on May 30, 2023. Most recently, their daughter Adelaide Elizabeth Annina Brooksbank was born on August 3. The middle name “Elizabeth” is believed to pay tribute to Eugenie’s late grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II.
The couple welcomed Adelaide in Portugal, where they have been splitting their time since Jack began a new job there in 2022. In the early weeks following her birth, Eugenie was spotted back in the UK, balancing family life between both countries.
Princess Eugenie’s tradition of sharing anniversary posts on social media has become a yearly highlight. Last year, as they celebrated seven years of marriage, she shared a previously unseen photograph of the two of them sharing a kiss, captured during their post-wedding festivities. The couple has created a life filled with love and adventure, continuing to thrive as a family unit.
Eugenie’s heartfelt anniversarial posts consistently resonate with followers, showcasing the couple’s closeness and Jack’s endearing qualities as a father. The couple represents a modern royal family dynamic, balancing their private lives with their public personas while nurturing their growing children amidst the challenges and joys of parenthood.
As they move forward into a new year together, the enduring affection shared by Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank serves as an inspiring testament to their relationship. With three young children to nurture and endless memories to create, they look to the future with optimism and love.
