3. Their first royal outing came in 2011
Jack was invited to attend day five of Royal Ascot at Ascot Racecourse on June 18, 2011, in Ascot, England.

5. Princess Eugenie has a dog named Jack
In a 2016 interview with Harper's Bazaar, she revealed that her dog has the same name as her boyfriend.
"My first conversation is often with my mum, saying, 'Good morning, what are you doing today?' Or it's with my boyfriend, Jack," Eugenie shared. "Sometimes I don't speak until I get in to work and talk to the team. Or it's my doggie Jack—yes, my boyfriend and my dog have the same name—total accident! If you can call that a conversation."
6. They watch The Walking Dead and binge on Netflix
In the same interview, Eugenie opened up about her home life with her beau, which includes binging-watching TV shows.
"When I'm with Jack, we watch The Walking Dead, which we're obsessed with. Maybe Game of Thrones is our next thing," she said. "I don't watch reality shows, but I love cooking programs. Indulgences? Chips -- fries, as you say -- Diet Coke, nuts! Cashew nuts with mustard are the best. Netflix."
7. They attended Pippa Middleton's wedding
Jack was not in attendance at Prince William and Kate Middleton's wedding, but he was invited to the Duchess of Cambridge's sister's nuptials to James Matthews in May of 2017.

12. The couple attended Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's wedding
Eugenie and Jack were among the many who attended Harry and Meghan's May 19 nuptials at George's Chapel in Windsor Castle, the same location where the couple will tie the knot.
13. The bride-to-be was "not stressed" during wedding planning
Princess Eugenie told British Vogue earlier this year that she's "not stressed" at all. "It's very nerve-wracking because you want it to be perfect," she explained, "but then you realize that you’re going to be with the person you love forever and nothing else really matters."
Her mother echoed those statements during a visit to BBC's The One Show in August. "[Eugenie is] so sorted," Fergie said. "She knows exactly what she wants"
"Jack and her are very contemporary," she added. "They're very inclusive, and they're all about love. And they want this wedding to be about that, to include everybody, to really absorb the love they have for each other with everybody else."
14. Jack will not take a royal title after their wedding
Eugenie is the Princess of York, but don't expect her soon-to-be husband to get his own fancy title. Royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams told Express.co.uk that the queen is not expected to grant Jack a regal title. This means that if the couple has children while Queen Elizabeth II is on the throne, their babies will not become a prince or princess because titles are inherited through sons and not daughters.
