They say girls look for a partner who is just like their father and Princess Eugenie appears to be no exception.

The 23-year-old Princess raised eyebrows last night when she stepped out with her boyfriend who bears a striking resemblance to her dad Prince Andrew.

Eugenie took Jack Brooksbank, her boyfriend of three years, to the opening of trendy new Mayfair club Mr Fogg’s.

The young couple seemed happy and in love leaving the party, but onlookers — and the press — were quick notice Jack is fast becoming the spitting image of a young Prince Andrew.

“The growing resemblance between Eugenie’s beau and her father was more striking than ever,” the UK’s Daily Mail reported.

“With his curly dark hair and pale complexion, the similarity between Jack and his potential future father-in-law was undeniable.”

Jack, who works as a waiter and barman in London, and Eugenie are in fact very distant cousins, with common ancestors dating back to the early 1900s.
