Britain's Royal Family:Princess Eugenie engaged to long-term boyfriend Jack Brooksbank

Britain's Royal Family will have a second wedding this year following the engagement of Princess Eugenie and her long-term boyfriend Jack Brooksbank.

The pair are set to tie the knot this autumn after Mr Brooksbank, 31, popped the question to the 27-year-old princess in Nicaragua earlier this month.




The ceremony will take place at St George's Chapel at Windsor Castle - the same venue where Prince Harry and US actress Meghan Markle's wedding will take place on May 19.

The Queen's granddaughter, who is eighth in line to the throne, began dating Mr Brooksbank around seven years ago after they met while skiing in the Swiss resort of Verbier.

The couple posed for a series of official pictures at the Picture Gallery in Buckingham Palace including pictures of Eugenie's ring - a padparadscha sapphire surrounded by diamonds which bears a resemblance to the one worn by her mother, Sarah Ferguson.
