With many elated A-level
students preparing for their first year at university, we take a look at the
one royal family member who made the bold decision to ditch their degree
altogether.
Unlike his other half, Princess
Eugenie, who graduated from Newcastle University in 2009, Jack
Brooksbank never quite completed his degree at Bristol University.
Prior to his brief stint at university, the 36-year-old was sent to Stowe
school in Buckinghamshire.
Whilst it’s not known exactly
why or when Jack decided to pull out of university, reports indicate that the
royal skipped Bristol in a bid to pursue his dreams in the hospitality
industry.
The dad-of-one first cut his
teeth working as a bartender at numerous bars and pubs including the Admiral
Codrington pub in Chelsea.

Princess Eugenie and Jack tied the knot in 2018
After several years, Jack
progressed in a managerial role at the popular London nightclub Mahiki –
a tropical-themed Mayfair hotspot, popular among the rich and famous.
He later made a name for
himself as the UK ambassador for George Clooney and Rande Gerber’s tequila brand, Casamigos.
The enterprising businessman even treated his wedding guests to Casamigos at
his lavish wedding reception with Princess Eugenie.

Jack made a name for himself in the hospitality industry
And it seems like the royal
dropout hasn’t suffered a setback since he made that life-changing decision.
Earlier this year, the entrepreneur announced an exciting new venture in the
world of property.
As reported by The
Telegraph, Princess Eugenie and Jack have moved into the CostaTerra Golf
and Ocean Club in light of Jack’s new contract with property tycoon Mike
Meldman, who is managing a 300-home development.
The publication cited:
“Mr Brookbank is understood to be working on marketing, sales and
promotion” and they also revealed that prices at the sought-after
development will start from a staggering £3.6million.

The family of three have been making the most of Portugal
Since their relocation,
Eugenie, Jack, and their baby boy, August, have been dividing their time
between Portugal and the UK. Whilst they’re no longer making use of Frogmore
Cottage, it’s believed that the family of three have been staying at Nottingham
Cottage, London.
“Nott Cott,” as it’s
affectionately known, is one of the smaller properties on the Kensington Palace
estate, it has two bedrooms and reception rooms as well as a kitchen, bathroom
and small garden.
