Princess Eugenie’s fiancé “not the most intelligent” admits his grandmother
Princess Eugenie, 27, and her fiancé Jack Brooksbank, 31, are tipped to be tying the knot this October, and his grandmother has used her 15 minutes of fame to have a good-natured jibe at her grandson.
Speaking to MailOnline, Joanna Newton, 91, said, “I never thought he would get married to a royal. He’s a charming boy and all that but not the most intelligent and I would never have thought this would happen.”
The couple announced their engagement showcasing Eugenie’s pink sapphire ring, and royal watchers went into a flurry claiming that the two were actually related.
Ms Newton called Jack a “good egg” and went on to tell the MailOnline that “I think it says a lot about Eugenie that it’s him she wants and it’s lovely.”
It’s the second royal wedding to be held this year, with Prince Harry to marry Meghan Markle in May.
