Princess Eugenie has said she cried with joy when long-term partner Jack Brooksbank dropped to one knee and popped the question on holiday.
The eighth in line to the throne had no idea a proposal was coming when she jetted off to Nicaragua with her boyfriend earlier this month.
In an interview which aired on The One Show last night, the couple explained how the special moment happened one evening when the sun was setting against the backdrop of a “beautiful volcano”.

Eugenie said: “The lake was so beautiful and the light was such a special light I’d never seen.
“I actually said this is an incredible moment… then he popped the question to me!
“It was really surprising, even though we’d been together seven years.”
Eugenie added: “I was crying. It was a complete surprise.
“But it was the perfect moment and we couldn’t be happier.
“We knew it would end up this way.”
Eugenie, 27, and Jack, 31, announced their engagement through Buckingham Palace on Monday.
They later posed for beautiful engagement photos in the palace’s Picture Gallery.
