Eugenie?

The Beeb has just announced her engagement, and said Eu-je-nee..

I always thought it was Euj-ay-nee.

It is, isn't it?

Her engagement photos are lovely. I cannot help making comparisons to other recent Royal engagement pics.

I pronounce Eugenie as 'useless' or 'pointless'. That's yew-less and poynt-less. Similar pronunciation for her sister.

Yes, I remember them saying when she was born You-Ginny

It’s a bloody horrible name...mangled since she was born, poor girl.

I relly like the ring & the pics.

I think that they look happy & relaxed together.

Blimey. Time flies. I remember her being* born
