But despite the goodwill surrounding the engagement, one family member, Jack’s nan Joanna Newton, had more of an unusual response when asked about their upcoming nuptials.
Speaking to the Daily Mail at the time, the then-91-year-old said she was “over the moon” but baffled, adding that her grandson was “ordinary.”
Ms Newton expressed her surprise at Jack being able to marry such an important figure.
She said: “I’m thrilled about it.
“It’s amazing. I would never have thought for a moment that it was going to happen and we are all very happy.
“I never thought he would get married to a royal. He’s a charming boy and all that but not the most intelligent and I would never have thought this would happen.
“I just never thought it would go this far with her being a member of the Royal Family. But Jack has always had lovely manners and has always been a good egg.
“I would call him ordinary; I wouldn’t say there is anything special about him; he’s a good-looking, nice chap, and I think it says a lot about Eugenie that it’s him she wants, and it’s lovely.”
Since the wedding, Eugenie and Jack have had two sons, August, three, and Ernest, one, and split their time between London and Portugal.
According to a source, the continuing success of Jack’s UK-based firm means the couple are considering a permanent move to England.
