Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank's wedding: Here's everything you need to know
Another royal wedding is upon us, as Princess Eugenie of York marries Jack Brooksbank on Friday. The couple, who announced their engagement in late January, will be the second set of royals to marry in St. George’s Chapel this year. And although the festivities might be a bit reminiscent of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s nuptials, the differences are certainly in the details.
Where and when
The wedding service will take place at St. George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle on Friday, Oct. 12.
Who will be there
Nearly 850 guests will be in attendance inside the chapel, including most senior members of the royal family. The bride’s sister, Princess Beatrice, will be the maid of honor, and Princess Charlotte and Prince George will join the bridesmaids and pageboys, respectively. Celebrity guests likely include George Clooney, with whom Brooksbank has a relationship as the European brand manager of Casamigos Tequila, and likely some of the princess’s A-list friends, such as Cara Delevingne, Ellie Goulding, and David and Victoria Beckham.
The couple has additionally opened the grounds of Windsor Castle to 1,200 members of the public, who were chosen out of 100,000 applicants and representatives from charities and organizations.
What Princess Eugenie will be wearing
The princess has yet to confirm which designer is responsible for the dress she’ll be wearing on her big day. However, she did reveal to Vogue that she will be dressed by a British house, unlike Meghan Markle, who wore Givenchy. Favorites of Eugenie’s in the past have been Erdem, Vivienne Westwood, and Ralph & Russo.
Who will be performing
Opera star Andrea Bocelli is confirmed to be performing two pieces during the service. Musicians from the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra will be performing as well.
What guests will be eating
London-based cake designer Sophie Cabot is making the couple’s wedding cake. The red velvet and chocolate cake is said to be “a traditional cake with a modern feel,” with ivy detailing made of sugar. Princess Eugenie and Brooksbank have worked with Cabot before, when she supplied biscuits for a Pitch@Palace event held by the Duke of York, who is Eugenie’s father.
What will take place during the ceremony
The Dean of Windsor is set to give the address and officiate the ceremony as Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank say their vows. The Archbishop of York has prepared a personal prayer to share with the couple as well.
What will happen after the ceremony
The couple will travel from the Royal Mews out of Windsor Castle and onto the High Street as a part of their first carriage ride as a married couple.
Queen Elizabeth will be hosting a reception at Windsor Castle for the couple and their guests after the procession.
Where the wedding can be watched
The Duke of York will live-stream the ceremony at St. George’s Chapel on his Facebook page, Twitter, and official YouTube channel. Viewers in the United States can also watch live coverage of the wedding on TLC, beginning at 4:25 a.m. ET.
