Princess Eugenie (pronounced 'Yoo-juhn-knee'), Mrs Jack Brooksbank is a member of the British royal family. She is the younger daughter of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, Duke of York, and Sarah Ferguson, Duchess of York. She is tenth in the line of succession to the British throne, after her elder sister, Princess Beatrice.
Princess Eugenie was born 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. On 30 March, it was announced that the Duke and Duchess of York had named her Eugenie Victoria Helena.
She was christened at St Mary Magdalene Church, Sandringham, by the Bishop of Norwich on 23 December 1990 and was the first royal baby to have a public christening and the only one of the Queen's grandchildren not to be baptized in the Lily Font. Her godparents were James Ogilvy (her father's second cousin), Captain Alastair Ross (who was unable to attend), Susan Ferguson (her maternal grandfather's second wife), Julia Dodd-Noble, and Louise Blacker.
Eugenie's parents divorced amicably when she was six years old. The Duke and Duchess of York had agreed to joint custody of their two children. Eugenie and her sister frequently traveled abroad with one or both of their parents.
Eugenie began her schooling at Winkfield Montessori from 1992 to 1993. From there, she joined her sister at Upton House School in Windsor until 1995. She attended Coworth Park School from 1995 to 2001, and then St George's School, near Windsor Castle until 2003. For the next five years, Eugenie boarded at Marlborough College in Wiltshire. She undertook a gap year before continuing her education in 2009. Eugenie began studying at Newcastle University in September 2009, combining Art History, English Literature and Politics. She completed her studies in 2012, earning a 2:1 in English literature and history of art.
In 2013, she moved to New York City for one year to work for the online auction firm Paddle8 as a benefit auctions manager. In July 2015, she moved back to London to work for the Hauser & Wirth art gallery as an associate director, and was promoted to director in 2017.
As a male-line grandchild of the sovereign, Eugenie was known as "Her Royal Highness Princess Eugenie of York", with the territorial designation coming from her father's title, Duke of York. Since her marriage, she has been styled "Her Royal Highness Princess Eugenie, Mrs Jack Brooksbank" in the Court Circular.
