However, as a former brand ambassador of Casamigos tequila, an impressive background in luxury hospitality and becoming a wine merchant, it is safe to say the Royal has quite the stash of cash in the bank

Clooney sold Casamigos tequila to Diageo for a staggering $ 1 billion (£ 700 million) in 2020, so Jack no doubt earnt a hefty sum from that too.

In 2022, he began working in marketing and sales for property developer Michael Meldman's Discovery Land company in Portugal.

His new role sees him split his time between the UK and Portugal.

How did Jack meet Eugenie?

Princess Eugenie was just 19 at the time, in February 2010, and studying English, politics and history at Newcastle University.

The princess and Jack got on extremely well and a connection was formed that endured a period of long distance while she worked in New York in 2013.

The pair are said to have chatted over Skype to keep the fire burning despite being kept apart by thousands of miles and several hours worth of time zone.

When did he and Princess Eugenie announce their engagement?

Buckingham Palace released a statement on January 22, 2018, announcing that the young couple were engaged and would wed in the autumn of 2018.

They had gotten engaged while on holiday in Nicaragua in January 2018.

Buckingham Palace said: "The Duke and Duchess of York are delighted to announce the engagement of Princess Eugenie to Mr Jack Brooksbank.

"Her Royal Highness and Mr Brooksbank became engaged in Nicaragua earlier this month.

"The wedding will take place in the autumn of 2018 at St George's Chapel in Windsor, with further details to be announced in due course."

When did he marry Eugenie?

Jack married Princess Eugenie on October 12, 2018, in Windsor.
