Eugenie and Jack announced their engagement in late January, and spoke to The One Show about the special moment Jack had proposed. The Princess said: "The lake was so beautiful, it was a special light and I even said, 'This is an incredible moment' and then he popped the question, which was really surprising even though we had been together seven years. It was the perfect moment because we knew it was going to end up this way. I was over the moon, crying."
