Princess Eugenie is the younger sister of Princess Beatrice, a member of the British royal family and the elder daughter of Prince Andrew, Duke of York, and Sarah, Duchess of York.
Princess Eugenie was born by Caesarean section at Portland Hospital in the West End of London on 23 March 1990 at 7:58 pm, the second child of the Duke and Duchess of York, and sixth grandchild of Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh.
Eugenie attended St George’s School and Marlborough College before studying at Newcastle University, graduating with a bachelor’s degree in English literature and history of art.
She joined the auction house Paddle8 before taking a directing position at art gallery Hauser & Wirth.
Eugenie also works privately with a number of charitable organisations, including Children in Crisis and Anti-Slavery International.
Beatrice was the first member of the family to appear in a non-documentary film when she had a small, non-speaking role as an extra in The Young Victoria (2009), based on the accession and early reign of her ancestor Queen Victoria.
In January 2022, it was reported that Beatrice had lost her taxpayer-funded police security in 2011, supposedly after her uncle Charles III (then Prince of Wales) intervened.
Eugenie is married to Jack Brooksbank, a brand ambassador, in 2018.
In February 2021, their son August was born.
In January 2023, the couple announced they were expecting their second child.
