UK’s Princess Eugenie has said “it was love at first sight” on the eve of her wedding to Jack Brooksbank. The Queen’s granddaughter, 28, admitted to being nervous ahead of her big day but added she couldn’t wait to exchange vows with her boyfriend of seven years.
In a new interview, the couple described the moment they met for the first time. Brooksbank said: “We were skiing in a friend’s place out in Switzerland, and [looking at Eugenie] I saw you first, didn’t I? And we just stared at each other.” Eugenie added: “Yes, and I thought, ‘what a silly hat!’… and I thought, ‘who’s that?’ and then you came over and shook my hand and I was all butterflies and nervous. I think I rang my mum that night and said, ‘I’ve met this guy Jack’… and that was it I think about how it started. I remember being like, ‘I really, really like this guy, I really want him to like me too,’ and then you gave me this huge windscreen wiper wave and that was it, right, he likes me.” Jack described Eugenie as a “bright shining light”.
While Eugenie admitted the whole thing was “nerve-wracking and a bit scary” she added: “At the end of the day you get to marry the person you love… and you’re going to be at the end of the aisle, and I’m going to be running towards you.” The happy couple are set to tie the knot at St George’s Chapel with a regal escort including Prince George and Princess Charlotte. The Queen’s great-granddaughter will say her wedding vows with Eton-educated Tequila ambassador Tom at exactly 12 noon on Friday.
