On May 3rd, Princess Eugenie turned to Instagram to wish her husband, Jack Brooksbank, a happy 40th birthday. The 36\u2011year\u2011old royal posted a series of candid family snaps that, for many, felt like a breath of fresh air amid the ongoing scrutiny of her father, Prince Andrew, and his past association with the late Jeffrey Epstein.<\/p>\n
In a heart\u2011warming story, the princess began her post with a simple \u201cHappy 40th my love,\u201d overlaying a photo of Jack lying on a quiet beach. The image captured the couple\u2019s easy affection, a stark contrast to the tense headlines that have dominated the royal family\u2019s recent months.<\/p>\n
