Eugenie’s father Prince Andrew also shared the news via Twitter. Following the news, official photographs of Eugenie and her fiancé, taken by photographer Jonathan Brady, were released by Buckingham Palace to mark the couple's engagement. One picture sees the happy couple embrace, with the 27-year-old royal proudly showing off her dazzling engagement ring while wearing a dress by Erdem and Jimmy Choo shoes. The beautiful ring contains a padparadscha sapphire surrounded by diamonds.

The pair have been together for over six years, after meeting during a ski break in Verbier, Switzerland. Their relationship has been solid, even surviving as a long-distance couple when Eugenie, 27, moved to Manhattan to work for an online auction house. She and Jack were still "very much together" despite the 3,000 plus miles between them.

Eugenie has recently moved into Ivy Cottage, a three-bedroom apartment in the grounds of Kensington Palace where she is neighbors with her cousins Prince Harry and Prince William. Jack was not expected to officially join Eugenie at the apartment, but it's likely that the couple will move in with each other ahead of their wedding.

The world had a chance to meet Eugenie’s husband-to-be when the pair sat down for an interview that aired Monday night in the U.K. on BBC's The One Show. During the interview, Princess Beatrice’s little sister opened up about the “incredible” moment Jack proposed. "The lake was so beautiful, it was a special light and I even said 'this is an incredible moment' and then he popped the question, which was really surprising even though we had been together seven years," she said. "It was the perfect moment because we knew it was going to end up this way. I was over the moon, crying."
