How To Pronounce Princess Eugenie's Name: A Fun Guide

Alright, let's dive into something that’s been buzzing around the royal world. Princess Eugenie, the 27-year-old royal who’s been making headlines after announcing her engagement to Jack Brooksbank, knows her name isn’t exactly a walk in the park to pronounce. In fact, she’s fully aware that people have been mispronouncing it for most of her life. But don’t worry, we’re here to help clear things up in a fun, conversational way!

Now, most folks tend to say Eugenie’s name as “You-Janie” or “You-Jee-nie,” but guess what? According to her mom, Sarah Ferguson, the Duchess of York, the correct pronunciation is actually “YOO-junnee.” Yes, it’s a little tricky, but once you’ve got it, you’ll feel like a pronunciation pro. Let’s break it down: YOO (like the word "you") and JUNNIE (rhymes with "honey"). Simple, right?

Engagement Highlights: A Royal Love Story

Now, let’s shift gears and talk about the big news. Earlier this week, Eugenie and her fiancé, Jack Brooksbank, made headlines by announcing their engagement after seven years of dating. In an interview with the BBC on January 22nd, Eugenie opened up about the magical moment when Jack popped the question. “It was the perfect moment because we knew it was going to end up this way. I was over the moon, crying,” Eugenie shared, her excitement still palpable.

Jack also gave fans a glimpse into the thought process behind choosing Eugenie’s stunning engagement ring. “It was amazing. I found a ring… and then proposed to Eugenie without it and came back and we designed the diamonds around this padparadscha sapphire. I went and found an amazing sapphire but didn’t want to do anything until Eugenie had signed off on it,” Jack explained. He added, “What’s amazing about it is that it changes color from every different angle that you look at it, which is what I think of Eugenie. That she changes color and is just so amazing.” Eugenie chimed in, saying, “It feels very strange to be wearing it. It’s very nice.” Congrats to this adorable couple on their engagement!
