PRINCESS Eugenie is the daughter of Prince Andrew and Sarah, Duchess of York.
Eugenie is married to Jack Brooksbank but he does not have a royal title – we explain.
Jack doesn’t have a royal title
Why does Princess Eugenie’s husband Jack Brooksbank not have a royal title?
Despite his wife being a princess, Jack Brooksbank does not have a royal title himself.
He also has ties to the Royal Family – as a half-third cousin twice removed to his wife.
Jack is descended from a baronet and comes from the only class of British nobility that isn’t part of the peerage.
Therefore he has no title.
During his wedding to Princess Eugenie, the late Queen Elizabeth didn’t grant Jack a title.
Marlene Koenig, a royal historian told Town and Country: “There is no precedent for giving a peerage to the commoner husband of a princess on the wedding day.”
Since being married, Eugenie has been styled as Princess Eugenie, Mrs Jack Brooksbank.
It was rumoured in 2016 that Eugenie’s father Prince Andrew had asked the Queen to give earldoms to the future husbands of his daughters.
However, he denied this, stating the reports had “no basis of fact”.
In a statement he wrote: “It is a complete fabrication to suggest I have asked for any future husbands of the Princesses to have titles.”
“Whilst I appreciate, as Granddaughters of The Queen, there is considerable interest in my daughters, I cannot continue to stand by and have the media speculate on their futures based on my purported interventions, which are completely made up and an invention.”
Who are Jack Brooksbank’s family?
Jack was born on May 3, 1986, in St Thomas’ Hospital, London.
His full name is Jack Christopher Stamp Brooksbank, and he was christened at Guards’ Chapel in Wellington Barracks.
Jack is the eldest son of Old Etonian George Brooksbank, a company director and chartered accountant.
Jack’s mother, Nicola, is the great-granddaughter of Sir Arthur Holland and Sir Frederick Charlton Meyrick, 2nd Baronet.
Jack is in remainder -meaning he’s a possible heir – to the Brooksbank baronetcy.
His ties to his wife, Princess Eugenie, are through Thomas Coke, 2nd Earl of Leicester.
His great-grandfather was Sir John (Jack) Spencer Coke, a gentleman usher to King George VI and extra gentleman usher to Queen Elizabeth II.
His great-uncle was the 3rd Baron Hamilton of Dalzell.
Jack also has a young brother, Thomas, who was best man at his wedding.
Do Princess Eugenie’s and Jack Brooksbank’s children have royal titles?
Princess Eugenie and Jack’s children don’t have royal titles.
This is due to an age-old rule that states titles are passed down the father’s side of the family.
Therefore, as Jack isn’t royal his children won’t be either.
Author and royal historian Carolyn Harris told Town & Country: “Princess Eugenie’s children will not have titles unless the Queen [or King] decides to bestow an earldom on Jack Brooksbank.”
Jack wasn’t bestowed a title and therefore his children won’t have titles either.
This also applies to Princess Anne’s children, Peter Phillips and Zara Tindall.
Peter and Zara’s children also don’t have titles.
It’s also become increasingly common for senior royals whose children would be allowed a title to decide not to bestow it to their children.
Is Jack Brooksbank in line to the throne?
Jack Brooksbank is not in line to the throne, however his children do.
Eugenie and Jack’s eldest son August Philip Hawke was born on February 9, 2021 ,at the Portland Hospital in Central London.
Their second son, Ernest George Ronnie, was born May 30, 2023.
Princess Eugenie announced their second son’s birth on Instagram revealing he weighed 7lb 1oz.
She wrote: “Jack and I wanted to share the news that we had our little boy, Ernest George Ronnie Brooksbank on 30th May 2023 at 8.49 weighing 7.1lbs.
“He is named after his great great great Grandfather George, his Grandpa George and my Grandpa Ronald. Augie is loving being a big brother already.”
Ernest is 13th in line to the throne, below his older brother, August, who is 12th.
Their mother, Eugenie, is 11th in line to the throne
