Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank body language analysed: What is relationship like?

Princess Eugenie is the daughter of Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson, both 58.

As a granddaughter of the Queen, her love life has been closely watched by the public.

It was revealed in January that she would be marrying her boyfriend of eight years Jack Brooksbank, 32, a drinks ambassador.

They appeared in an engagement interview with the BBC at the time. What does a body language expert say about the couple?

Judi James exclusively told Express.co.uk that the couple seem very in love, with “sexy” Eugenie leading “shy” Jack.

The husband-to-be seemed very happy to be announcing his engagement to Eugenie.

Judi said: “Eugenie and Jack smiled openly almost non-stop through their interview and many of the smiles looked impossible to repress, which is often a symptom of the rather bashful early stages of love. 

“Jack in particular wore kind of the rounded and raised cheeks that signal genuine happiness and at times his cheeks even turned pink to show shyness too.”

Eugenie appeared more self-assured in front of the camera’s, according to the body language expert.

She said: “Eugenie’s rather husky, sexy voice and her more assured body language suggests she will be the more powerful partner although she used several lowering signals to make her fiancé feel more dominant, like tilting her head towards his chest, touching her own hand to her chest in a gesture of coyness and even bending her knees as she laughed or spoke to self-diminish.

“The pair used pinging eye contact as they spoke as though checking each statement out with one another and Eugenie often smiled and nodded encouragement to flatter Jack when he spoke.”

Jack seems somewhat different to Andrew and Prince Harry is some respects, according to Judi.

“Eugenie and Jack’s body language shows a younger couple rather sweetly in love, especially Jack who lacks the signals of alpha machismo that Andrew and Harry learnt in the forces. 

“Jack stood square to the interviewer with his arms rather self-consciously straight to his sides and the biggest PDA of this interview was the joined hands with meshed fingers that showed mutual levels of love and reassurance.”

Princess Eugenie’s bridesmaids will include a pop star’s daughter. 

Angels singer Robbie will surely be thrilled that his daughter Theordora Rose, five, has been chosen, according to sources. 

Robbie and his wife Ayda Field are thought to be friends with the bride.

How will Princess Eugenie’s royal role change when she marries Jack Brooksbank? 

It has also been reported that Jack will not receive a title upon his marriage to Eugenie.
