Royal wedding countdown: Princess Eugenie’s fiancé admits he’s “terrified”

Later this week on October 12, Princess Eugenie will say “I do” to her fiancé Jack Brooksbank in St George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle.

Although the Queen’s granddaughter revealed that she was “not stressed” about her big day, her fiancé has admitted that he feels otherwise.

Speaking to the Daily Mail, Jack admitted that he was “feeling anxious” about his looming nuptials.

“I’ll need to take a few minutes for myself before the speeches because I’m terrified. It’s very exciting but I’m a little bit nervous,” he confessed.

During an interview with British Vogue, Eugenie played down any nervousness and said she was nothing but excited for her wedding.

“I’m not stressed at all,” she said in the magazine’s September issue.

“It’s very nerve-racking because you want it to be perfect but then you realise that you’re going to be with the person you love forever and nothing else really matters.”

And while Eugenie didn’t reveal any details of her ceremony, Jack revealed how he assisted his wife-to-be in the planning process.

The 32-year-old liquor distributor, who is currently the UK ambassador for George Clooney and Rande Gerber’s tequila brand, said: “I’ve not been kept out of all the planning. I get to decide some things. I’m in charge of drinks and we’ll be serving Casamigos.”

However, despite his close working relationship with the famous actor, he was not allowed to confirm if Clooney would be attending their big day.

“I can’t say if George Clooney is coming,” Brooksbank told the Daily Mail.

In the lead-up to their wedding, the Royal Collection Trust released an ornate china set which included a miniature teacup and saucer, pillbox, tankard and coaster.

In addition to the couple’s intertwined monogram, Eugenie and Jack also have cups which feature their individual initials.

Eugenie’s cup features the letter “E” with a golden crown or an “HRH”, standing for “Her Royal Highness”.

Jack’s cup features the letter “J” without a crown.

The monogram hints that Jack will not receive a royal after the wedding, while Eugenie will continue to carry her current title.
