Eugenie’s parents, Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson, also known as the Duke and Duchess of York, announced their daughter's engagement via the Royal Family Instagram account this morning.

Eugenie’s mother Sarah echoed his sentiments, and shared three photos of the couple on Twitter, including this one. Over it, she wrote, “A total embrace of goodness and joy.
