On Instagram, Eugenie, 30, shared a selfie of the couple to mark three years since they announced the news they were getting married.

"This time 3 years ago.. flashback to such a happy moment," she wrote.

While the royal's Instagram is mostly dedicated to her work, she occasionally shares glimpses into her life behind the scenes, with her family making appearances.

Eugenie and Jack, 35, announced they were engaged in January 2018 after seven years of dating, having first met during a skiing holiday in Switzerland.

Jack, a bar manager and brand ambassador, proposed to the princess while they were on holiday in Nicaragua earlier that same month.

They married nine months later on October 12, 2018 at St George's Chapel, Windsor Castle — where Prince Harry wed Meghan Markle in May 2018.

Last September, the couple announced they were expecting their first child, Eugenie writing on Instagram, "Jack and I are so excited for early 2021...."

Though the couple haven't publicly confirmed a due date, their baby is reportedly expected to arrive in mid-February.

As with any impending royal birth, members of the public have been placing bets on what Baby Brooksbank will be named.

Grace and Arthur are currently top odds for betting agency Ladbrokes, with Victoria, Arabella, Alice, James and Edward also featuring high on the list.

"However, with Eugenie's name being fairly left-field we can't rule out a moniker such as Tarquin or Matilda," spokesperson Jessica O'Reilly told People last week.
