It was during one of her university holidays that she was introduced by mutual friends to Jack, who is three years older. Romance blossomed on the slopes of Verbier, the plush ski resort in Switzerland where Eugenie's parents Sarah Ferguson and Prince Andrew still own a multi-million pound chalet.

Jack may not hail from aristocracy, but his upbringing was not dissimilar to his royal partner. The nightclub manager was sent to the £12,000-a-year Stowe boarding school in Buckinghamshire by his parents Nicola and George, an accountant and company director. Eugenie, meanwhile, boarded at Marlborough College in Wiltshire for five years.

While Eugenie managed to maintain a relatively low-key profile at Newcastle University, when the Princess was down in London she and Jack caught the attention of royal watchers.

One of their first high-profile appearances was in March 2011, when Eugenie and Jack were spotted leaving the now-closed Chelsea nightclub Public, owned by Prince Harry's friend Guy Pelly. Eugenie was on a university holiday and used her weeks off to spend time with Jack.
