Jack Brooksbank, the husband of the British Princess Eugenie, had to go to Capri in Italy last week for work. Now his business trip is being criticized. The reason? He amused himself on a boat in the company of three ladies in bikinis, while the princess and their five-month-old son August were nowhere to be seen.

Jack Brooksbank, 35, European brand director of Casamigos Tequila, boarded a pleasure yacht with three girlfriends last Friday. According to British media, Rachel Zalis, an ex-magazine editor who is now the global director of Casamigos. The other two ladies photographed on the sun-drenched deck are models. According to the press, the brunette is Maria Buccellati, the blonde Erica Pelosini. The outing came after the Unicef summer gala, of which the drink brand was one of the sponsors.
A source close to Jack told The daily mail that Eugenie wasn’t there because it was a business trip and she was staying at home with baby August. The sun writes that the princess and Brooksbank spent the week before in Ibiza together. In any case, the business trip, and the boat trip in particular, raises questions among fans of the British royal family. Brooksbank, who read a book, drank a glass of wine and chatted with the captain, also ventured for a refreshing dip in the water with the ladies. According to attentive Twitter users, it was very playful on deck: Erica dried herself off topless next to the man. Brooksbank is also photographed embracing model Maria, in orange bikini.
“Are two of the Queen’s grandchildren now involved in a fraud scandal? First Prince William with Rose Hanbury and now the adulterous Jack Brooksbank?”, according to one of them, who insinuates a crooked skate of the man online. Others also speak of “deception” on the basis of the published photos of the boat trip and say they feel sorry for the princess. The British royal family has not yet responded to the fuss.
