It's exactly five years ago today that Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank announced some happy news to the world.
The couple gave a TV interview where they revealed they were to marry after Jack got down on one knee and popped the question with a £100,000 pink padparadscha sapphire engagement ring.
The pair had been dating for several years after meeting in the Swiss ski resort of Verbier, and they became engaged during a trip to Nicaragua.
During interview, Eugenie, who's 11th in line to the throne revealed her late grandmother the Queen had "wished us well" and added that her parents Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson were thrilled.
But one family member who had more of an unusual response when asked about their upcoming nuptials three years ago was Jack's nan Joanna Newton.
Speaking to the Daily Mail at the time, the then 91-year-old spoke of her happiness for the couple - but in a cutting remark called Jack "not the most intelligent" and "ordinary".
She said: "I never thought he would get married to a Royal. He’s a charming boy and all that but not the most intelligent and I would never have thought this would happen.
"I would call him ordinary, I wouldn’t say there is anything special about him, he’s a good-looking, nice chap and I think it says a lot about Eugenie that it’s him she wants and it’s lovely."
Jack was educated at Stowe private school in Buckinghamshire and went straight into a career in hospitality.
He worked at London nightspots Mahiki and Peyote, before landing a job at Chelsea’s Tonteria with the help of Guy Pelly - businessman and close personal friend of Princes William and Harry.
He's also been the European brand director of Casamigos Tequila, which is owned by Hollywood actor George Clooney - but now splits his time between the UK and Portugal.
Following his engagement to Eugenie, the couple got married in October 2018 at St George's Chapel in Windsor with guests including the late Queen, the Prince and Princess of Wales and celebrities including Robbie Williams and Ellie Goulding.
In 2021, the pair welcomed their first child - a son called August Philip Brooksbank - whose middle name pays tribute to his late great grandfather Prince Philip.
In a documentary later that year, Eugenie revealed August got to meet Philip shortly before his death in April 2021.
Holding back the tears, Eugenie explained: "We named August, August Philip because grandpa has been such a huge, inspiring character in my life.
"I brought little August to come and meet him and told him that we had named him after him and it was such a lovely moment.
"We were very lucky to do that."
