Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank tied the knot [1] at Windsor's St. George's Chapel on Oct. 12. Now that they are officially married, Eugenie has the option of either keeping her royal title [2] or giving it up and becoming Lady Eugenie. But what about Jack? Did the wine merchant [3] get a fancy royal title, just like Meghan Markle did [4] when she married Prince Harry?
Well, actually no. There hasn't been any announcement so far that states Jack received any sort of royal title [5], so he'll simply remain Mr. Brooksbank [6]. "There is no precedent for giving a peerage to the commoner husband of a princess on the wedding day," royal historian Marlene Koenig previously told Town and Country.
Back in 2016, there were reports that Eugenie's dad [7], Prince Andrew, had asked the queen to grant his daughters' future husbands earldoms, but he immediately shot the rumors down [8]. "It is complete fabrication to suggest I have asked for any future husbands of the Princesses to have titles," Andrew said in an official statement. "As a father, my wish for my daughters is for them to be modern working young women, who happen to be Members of the Royal Family, and I am delighted to see them building their careers."
Even though Jack didn't get a royal title, he still got to marry the love of his life [9], and that's worth a whole lot more than any title.
