PRINCESS Eugenie has announced she is engaged to long-term boyfriend, Jack Brooksbank, and the pair will marry in the same venue as Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.
Brand Ambassador of Casamigos Tequila, Mr Brooksbank popped the question in Nicaragua earlier this month.
The couple, who have been together for seven years, will marry in George's Chapel in Windsor - the same venue as Prince Harry and US actress Meghan Markle - this autumn.
Princess Eugenie's parents, the Duke of York and his former wife Sarah Duchess of York, said they were "delighted" to announce the engagement.
In a statement, Buckingham Palace said: "The Duke and Duchess of York are delighted to announce the engagement of Princess Eugenie to Mr Jack Brooksbank.

"Her Royal Highness and Mr Brooksbank became engaged in Nicaragua earlier this month.
"The wedding will take place in the Autumn of 2018 at George's Chapel in Windsor, with further details to be announced in due course."
Princess Eugenie, 27, began dating Mr Brooksbank in 2011 after the pair met in the Swiss resort of Verbier back in 2010, as the 31-year-old enjoyed a skiing holiday with his friends.
Mr Brooksbank is the former manager of Mayfair hotspot Mahiki.
Princess Eugenie's mother, Sarah Ferguson, posted a series of gushing tweets to congratulate her youngest daughter.
The Duke of York also posted: "We are overjoyed at the news today that Eugenie and Jack have got engaged. Jack is an absolutely outstanding young man and Eugenie and he have got to know each other over a number of years, and I'm really thrilled for them."
Jack's parents, Nicola and George Brooksbank, reacted to the news saying: "We could not be more delighted with the news of the engagement. We are completely over the moon and are very excited for them both."
It comes after claims Princess Eugenie’s wedding plans were delayed because of a row over the cost of renovating her new home at Kensington Palace.
The Duke and Duchess of York’s daughter was hoping to move into Ivy Cottage by the end of last year before announcing her engagement to her boyfriend of seven years.
But damp was discovered in the basement of the three-bedroom home and insiders have revealed it could cost “thousands of pounds” to treat.
A source said: “Eugenie’s family don’t want to pay for the repairs because they don’t own the building but the powers-that-be are refusing to come up with the cash as well.
“At the moment it’s a stand-off and the whole thing is in limbo.
“The problem is that normally repair work would be done to several properties at once to keep costs down but there are no plans for neighbouring buildings at the moment.
“It’s true to say there have been some heated discussions with certain individuals digging their heels in, but so far there has been little give and take. Something will have to give soon if Eugenie and Jack are to move in quickly.”
