Princess Eugenie is set to move into Kensington Palace next year, a York family friend has told HELLO!. The 26-year-old will settle into the three-bedroom Ivy Cottage in the palace grounds, making her neighbors with the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge who own Apartment 1A, and Prince Harry who lives in Nottingham Cottage. The source said that the move has not been finalized and discussions are still ongoing, but “it is likely that she will take over the property in the next few months." A three-bedroom house in the Hyde Park costs approximately £3,500 ($4,500) a week – the equivalent of £182,000 ($234,279) a year, although how much Eugenie will pay has yet to be revealed. The source added: "What can be said with all certainty is that Jack will not be moving in with her and nor are they planning to get married. He is a lovely young man and there is little doubt that they will settle down together some day. But Eugenie is only 26 and although Jack is three years older he isn’t at a stage yet where he is able to support her. He will do, one day, just not now.”

After seven years of dating, the couple are keen to walk down the aisle as soon as possible, and had indicated to the Queen and the Royal Family they would ideally like an ‘Indian Summer’ wedding at Windsor in September. The monarch has very little in the way of public commitments that month, given that she will still be on her extended summer break at Balmoral, her Scottish residence. But other royals plan their diaries more than six months ahead and already have commitments pencilled in. ‘They ([the Royal family] have got something else going on then I think so they couldn’t. So he (Jack) just said that if they can’t get married in September they will have to get married in October.’ She added: ‘Of course I shall be going to the wedding, I’m granny. It’s very exciting because I’m a massive fan of the Royals and it will be lovely to meet them.

It was an exciting start to the week for royal watchers when the Queen's granddaughter Princess Eugenie and her long-term boyfriend Jack Brooksbank announced their engagement. Buckingham Palace released a statement from Eugenie's parents, saying: "The Duke and Duchess of York are delighted to announce the engagement of Princess Eugenie to Mr Jack Brooksbank. Her Royal Highness and Mr Jack Brooksbank became engaged in Nicaragua earlier this month." The palace confirmed that the wedding will take place in the autumn of 2018 at St George's Chapel in Windsor – the same venue that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have chosen for their royal wedding in May. Should Eugenie and Jack's ceremony be televised? Should the taxpayer foot the bill for police presence and security at Windsor? And should the Queen give Jack a title after the wedding? Congratulations Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank. Official pictures - taken in Picture Gallery at Buckingham Palace - released to mark their engagement

St George’s Chapel in Windsor Castle is set for a rather busy year. The 14th century Gothic edifice will be hosting not one but two royal weddings, with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle due to take their vows in May followed by Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank in the autumn. “If a company gets a new chief executive you would expect him or her to want to have a look at the books wouldn’t you?” Royal source While both ceremonies will generate headlines and countless glossy magazine covers around the world, coverage of the two events will also provide a visual illustration of the royal pecking order. Brutally, in the game of royal Top Trumps, Prince Harry at 5th in line to the throne defeats Eugenie at 8th. (Both, lest we forget, will slip down a rung following the birth of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge’s third child in the spring). The Princess and her fiancé initially favoured a September date, but their nuptials have reportedly been shunted back by a month due to the “diary commitments” of other royals – possibly a planned tour featuring Harry and Ms Markle. A minor inconvenience for a loved-up young couple, perhaps. But there are other signs of a changing royal order, which will see a smaller number of family members entrusted with key duties, at the expense of those on the fringes.

As i revealed last year, one feature of the beginning of the reign of Charles III will be the launch of a review of the monarch’s finances, as he seeks to meet his ambitions of a “slimmed down”, streamlined operation. The consequences of this new policy could be far reaching, but it seems all but certain that Prince Andrew, the Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie and other minor royals will be taking a step back from the royal limelight. “If a company gets a new chief executive you would expect him or her to want to have a look at the books wouldn’t you?” a source with knowledge of the succession plans observed at the time.
