Princess Eugenie and her husband first met in 2010. Seven years later, Brooksbank proposed during a trip to Nicaragua and without a ring.

"I didn't want to do anything until Eugenie had signed off on it," Brooksbank said of his decision to propose without an engagement ring during a televised BBC 1 interview. Once the pair returned to the U.K., they designed Princess Eugenie's ring together.

In the same interview, Princess Eugenie said it was "love at first sight" when she first met her now-husband of more than 10 years.

“We met when I was 20, he was 24,” she said at the time. "We fell in love. We have the same passions and drive for life.”

On Oct. 18, 2018, the pair got married in St. George's Chapel at Windsor Castle. In an Instagram post celebrating the couple's first wedding anniversary, Princess Eugenie said her wedding day was "the greatest day of my life."
