Four days have passed since she announced her engagement to long-term boyfriend Jack Brooksbank, but Princess Eugenie is still celebrating.
Prince Andrew’s youngest daughter, 27, partied until the early hours at trendy Chiltern Firehouse in Marylebone, London on Thursday night.
Still fresh-faced and looking stylish in a chic all-black outfit, Eugenie revealed a flash of the new addition to her wardrobe – her pink sapphire engagement ring – as she left the A-list hangout at 4am on Friday morning.
The youngest daughter of the Duke and Duchess of York will marry her boyfriend of seven years at Windsor Castle – the same venue that will play host to her cousin Prince Harry’s wedding to Meghan Markle in May – in the autumn.

Apparently determined to enjoy every last moment of her special announcement, Eugenie has been snapped on a series of outings this week.
On Thursday night Eugenie looked stylish in a short, black blazer-style wrap dress that showed off her curves, over a pair of skinny leather trousers.
She paired them with black shoe-boots and a small cross-body monochrome handbag.

The low-cut dress, which revealed a flash of what appeared to be lace lingerie beneath, had a slimming white stripe down the side to accentuate her figure.
Eugenie’s new fiancé Jack, 31, was nowhere to be seen as she made her way over the cobbles outside the Marylebone venue.
Mr Brooksbank popped the question in Nicaragua earlier this month, it emerged when the couple’s engagement was confirmed, and later presented her with the unusual ring; a padparadscha sapphire surrounded by diamonds.
The sparkler bears a striking similarity to the one Eugenie’s mother, Sarah Ferguson, was presented with by her ex-husband Prince Andrew, when they became engaged back in 1986 – although Fergie’s ring was set with a pink Burma ruby.
Princess Eugenie has had to push back her wedding to Jack Brooksbank due to a shew of other royal engagements taking place in September
Eugenie and Jack are now set to exchange vows in the autumn at Windsor Castle – in the same chapel that will play host to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s nuptials in May.
It was reported earlier this week that after seven years of dating, the couple had told the Queen they would like an Indian Summer wedding in September.
But as royals plan their diaries more than six months in advance, other commitments mean that the couple’s wedding is likely to be pushed back to October.
For their engagement photos, the couple plumped for a more down-to-earth option in the form of Press Association photographer Jonathan Brady rather than a Hollywood-style shoot like Harry and Meghan.
Eugenie showed off her thrifty side by recycling a floral dress by Erdem she previously wore for a photo shoot with Harper’s Bazaar in 2016, teamed with Jimmy Choo shoes.
Following the announcement on Monday proud mother-of-two Fergie, 58, took to Twitter to share her delight with the public in three tweets, which were retweeted by the Duke of York.
