British royalty, the younger daughter of Prince Andrew, Duke of York, and Sarah, Duchess of York. As of 2018, she is ninth in line of succession to the British throne, after her elder sister, Princess Beatrice of York. She was born by C-Section. She was baptised at St. Mary Magdalene Church, Sandringham, on 23 December 1990., and styled Her Royal Highness Princess Eugenie of York. She was the first royal baby to have a public christening, and the only one of the Queen's grandchildren not to be baptised in the Lily Font. Eugenie's parents divorced when she was six years old. In October 2002, the 12-year-old Eugenie underwent back surgery at the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital in London to correct scoliosis; she still has two 12-inch titanium rods that were put in place in her back in the surgery. She made a full recovery and is not expected to undergo any further surgery for the condition. Princess Eugenie does not carry out public duties and receives no allowance from the Privy Purse. She undertakes minimal public engagements, which are usually connected with the charities she supports, including the Teenage Cancer Trust and Children in Crisis. In 2018, Children in Crisis merged with Street Child, a children's charity active in multiple countries, with Eugenie still serving as an ambassador. The Duke of York's Office at Buckingham Palace announced the engagement of Princess Eugenie and British wine merchant, Jack Brooksbank, on 22 January 2018. The couple had been dating for seven years. The wedding took place shortly after Noon at St George's Chapel, Windsor Castle, on 12 October 2018. At this time, she was ninth in the line of succession to the British throne. After her wedding Princess Eugenie kept her Royal title but dropped the designation "of York". Link to Wikipedia biography
