Eugenie's mother, Sarah, Duchess of York is the great-great-granddaughter of Lady Julia Coke.
Lady Julia was also the daughter of Jack's great-great-grandfather, Thomas William Coke, the 2nd Earl of Leicester.
Similarly, Eugenie's grandparents, the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh are also third cousins.
Through his maternal lineage, Prince Philip is actually a great-great-grandson of Queen Victoria. The monarch's second daughter, Princess Alice, had a first child called Victoria, who went to marry Prince Louis of Battenberg.
The couple's first child was named Princess Alice of Battenberg – who was Prince Philip's mother.

Eugenie and Jack tied the knot at St George's Chapel in Windsor in October 2018.
The royal bride stunned in a wedding dress designed by Peter Pilotto and Christopher de Vos, which featured a low-back so that Eugenie could proudly display her scoliosis scar.
The Princess also borrowed the Greville Emerald Kokoshnik tiara from her grandmother on her big day, which she later described as a "very proud moment".
