The royals married in Windsor on October 12, 2018

Princess Eugenie has shared a series of intimate family photos in a belated Valentine's Day tribute to her husband Jack Brooksbank on Instagram.

The 34-year-old royal posted the collection of never-before-seen images on Saturday, playfully acknowledging her tardiness.


Alongside the photos, the princess wrote: "My valentine!! Love you to the moon and back. Happy Valentine's Day (for yesterday...whoops)."

The heartfelt post opened with a cosy selfie of the couple bundled up in cold weather gear, both beaming at the camera.

The images offer a rare glimpse into the family life of the Princess and her husband, who married in 2018 and now share two children, August, four, and Ernest, one.

Among the shared photos was an image of Jack walking hand-in-hand with August along a stony path, the young royal sporting red wellington boots, a white shirt and denim jeans.

Another touching snapshot captured a group hug between Eugenie, Jack and their youngest son Ernest.

The Princess also showed off a personalised jacket with "Mrs Brooksbank" embroidered on the back.

Several intimate photos featured the couple gazing lovingly into each other's eyes.

Fans were quick to respond warmly to the post, with one commenting: "You've got 2 littles, so it's okay to be a day late."

The family splits their time between Ivy Cottage at Kensington Palace in London and Portugal, where Jack works at a property development business.

The couple's love story began in 2010 during a skiing holiday in Verbier, Switzerland, where Eugenie has said it was "love at first sight."

"We met when I was 20, he was 24," she told the BBC after their engagement. "[We] fell in love. We have the same passions and drive for life."

Jack proposed to Eugenie during a trip to Nicaragua after seven years of dating, choosing a padparadscha sapphire ring surrounded by diamonds.

The pair wed at St George's Chapel in Windsor on 12 October 2018, with Prince George and Princess Charlotte among their bridal party.

They welcomed their first son, August Philip Hawke Brooksbank, in 2021, followed by Ernest George Ronnie Brooksbank in May 2023.

Last October, marking their sixth wedding anniversary, Eugenie shared a photo of the newlyweds kissing during their wedding celebrations.
