A model has apologised after being photographed topless with Jack Brooksbank, husband to Princess Eugenie and father of her child.

Controversy erupted this week when Jack was spotted posing with topless models on a yacht around the Italian island of Capri.

Eugenie was nowhere to be seen, as she was back home in the UK caring for their young son August.

Now one of the models, Erica Pelosini, has apologised for the drama surrounding the snaps.

“I know it does not look right for Jack and his family,” she told MailOnline, adding that she regretted going topless.

“I felt very bad for them when I saw the images of him surrounded by three women because his wife was not there.”

Pelosini went on to say that she and Jack had known each other for years and were friends, the 35-year-old even showing her photos of his son on the boat trip.

She added that he’s a “very proud” dad and that being away from Eugenie and their son made Jack “very sad”.

But why was he even photographed with topless models like Pelosini in the first place?

Sarah, Duchess of York answered that question earlier this week, when the scandal first erupted over the photos.

Sarah, who is Eugenie’s mother, said the photos were taken for a Casamingos tequila event and Jack was only doing his job as an ambassador for the brand.

As for any other claims about the photos or her son-in-law’s behaviour, Sarah said they were totally false.

“Jack, who was on the front page, is such a man of integrity,” she told The One Show earlier this week.

“For them to make this story is completely fabricated, he works as an ambassador for Casamigos, and he was doing his job, and so I think it’s really important that we clarify that for Jack’s sake.”

Back home in the UK, Eugenie has been looking after their young son August, who was born in February this year.

Her sister, Princess Beatrice, is also expecting her first child with her husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi.

The sisters have shared a close bond for all their lives, and it’s expected that Beatrice will turn to Eugenie for support when she becomes a mother too.
