He may be set to soon marry into the British royal family, but Princess Eugenie's fiancé Jack Brooksbank also has an unlikely connection to Hollywood royalty! Since 2016, the 31-year-old has worked as the UK Brand Ambassador for Casamigos Tequila - the liquor brand founded by George Clooney and his friends Rande Gerber and Mike Meldman.
Jack represents the brand, which recently sold to Diageo for $1billion, among top tier venues such as hotel groups and private clubs, whilst educating consumers on the brand story and taste credentials. When he was appointed in 2016, Jack said he was "thrilled" to be joining the company from his previous role at Mexican-themed club Tonteria in Chelsea, London.

"I am thrilled to be part of the Casamigos family. It is a very exciting time for the brand in the UK as the consumer mindset of the tequila category is shifting. People no longer see tequila purely for shooting but choose quality ultra-premium sipping offerings, with Casamigos leading the way due to the unique production methods, smooth taste and 'no burn' of our award winning expressions," Jack said, adding: "I look forward to introducing the Casamigos portfolio to new venues and continuing to build a UK based 'House of Friends' network, helping the brand grow from strength-to-strength."
Jack has worked in the hospitality industry since he graduated from Bristol University, and was previously General Manager of celebrity hotspot Mahiki London in Mayfair. He was then approached by his former colleague Marc Burton and businessman Guy Pelly, a close friend of Princes William and Harry, to launch their Mexican club Tonteria.
