This is how you actually pronounce Princess Eugenie’s name
With Princess Eugenie soon to be walking down the aisle to marry her fiancé Jack Brooksbank in October, it’s time the world learns how to pronounce the royal's first name, because sorry to say, if you think you have been pronouncing it correctly, chances are you haven't.
Most people are caught pronouncing the Princess's name as “You-Janie” or “You-Jee-nie” but neither of these two versions is correct according to her mother Sarah Ferguson (Fergie).
The proper way to pronounce her name is “YOO-junnee” and if you’re still confused, Fergie even came up with a helpful guide on how to pronounce it correctly.
“Whenever we used to meet foreign people who were struggling with it, my mum and I would help them by saying, “It’s like Use Your Knees,” Eugenie told The Sun.
“But whatever. I am now used to every pronunciation.”
Eugenie – otherwise known as Eugenie Victoria Helena of York – shares her name with Victoria Eugenie of Battenberg, Queen Victoria’s granddaughter, and her middle name Helena is named after Princess Helena, Queen Victoria’s daughter.
But there is a chance that the Princess may have a change in name after her wedding which will be held at Windsor Castle on October 12.
According to Hello!, her new title will be a mixture of her royal status and her husband’s name, which means she will go by HRH Princess Eugenie, Mrs Jack Brooksbank.
This information was confirmed after it was discovered that her fiancé will remain a commoner instead of being bestowed the title of Earl of Northallerton, but Eugenie doesn’t seem to mind.
“Eugenie couldn’t care less about titles and is perfectly happy to be Mrs Brooksbank,” a source has told The Express.
