2010: Nice to meet you! The couple was introduced by mutual friends during a skiing trip in Switzerland. "There was an immediate attraction and since that meeting, they have barely been apart," a friend told the Daily Mail. And although the pair lived on opposite ends of the countries, they still made it work. "Eugenie was studying at Newcastle when they met and Jack was working in London," the source shared. "But they made the relationship work."

2011: Secret no more! The couple made one of their first public debuts at Royal Ascot, an annual horse race. The couple dressed appropriately for the gathering with their matching hats. Princess Eugenie also sported a red dress for the special event.

2013: High-profile relationships can have some setbacks. For example, Eugenie moved to New York City to work for an online auction house leaving some wondering if they could survive a long-distance romance. Jack would ultimately set the record straight in an interview with the Daily Mail. "We spend a lot of time on Skype," he shared with the outlet. "It's great. We are still very much together."

2015: Eugenie moved back to London where she was able to be closer to her main man. She would later open up about home life with Jack during an interview with Harper's Bazaar. "When I'm with Jack, we watch The Walking Dead, which we're obsessed with," she shared with the publication. "Maybe Game of Thrones is our next thing. I don't watch reality shows, but I love cooking programs."

March 2018: Welcome to social media, Princess Eugenie! While the youngest daughter of Prince Andrew had an active Twitter account, it wasn't until this spring when she chose to join Instagram. While most of her posts were about causes near and dear to her heart, followers will occasionally find a couples shot featuring the bride and groom.

May 2018: Hi new neighbors! According to The Sun, Princess Eugenie and Jack moved into a cottage at Kensington Palace right by Meghan and Harry's home. The three-bedroom residence is not only close to the newlyweds but also nearby William and Kate's home. During the month, the pair was also able to attend Prince Harry and Meghan's wedding.
