The Sunday Express reported that the couple were planning to become officially engaged before the end of the year and were looking move into Kensington Palace.

According to the British publication, her parents Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson are “over the moon!”

This would no doubt be the perfect next step for the couple, who’ve been together since 2010.

Sarah is a huge fan of her daughter’s partner.

Princess Beatrice’s dramatic split could definitely factor into Eugenie’s engagement plans.

Buckingham Palace refused to comment on the matter, but a spokesman for Eugenie’s mother, Sarah Ferguson, denied the report to HELLO!

“The story is not true”, the spokesman said to the publication.

The denial may have something to do with the Duchess’ eldest, Princess Beatrice, just splitting up with her partner-of-ten-years Dave Clark.

Sources close to the pair cited that the issue of marriage was the reason behind the break up.

“They sat down and asked themselves why they weren’t already married and thrashed things out,” a close friend revealed.

With another telling The Independent, “Everyone was a bit down about Beatrice and Dave ending it after 10 years but it’s fantastic news about Eugenie and her sister is overjoyed for her.”

The timing is certainly unfortunate, especially given that the siblings both live together at St James’s Palace.

However, Eugenie may be looking to upgrade.

The Sunday Express claims that Eugenie, 26, and Jack, 29, are planning to move to Kensington Palace’s Ivy Cottage, a three-bedroom home next door to Prince Harry.

Jack, who is the manager of celebrity hotspot club Mahiki in Mayfair, is especially close to the royal’s family. He even attended Ascot with The Duke and Duchess of York.

A family friend recently told The Daily Mail, “Jack is very close to Eugenie’s family. He is always invited away with them in the summer.”

“Sarah sees him as a son-in-law already. She and Andrew adore Jack. He is a lovely boy and he has really fitted into the family.”
