Princess Eugenie wedding: Royal Wedding timetable - everything we know so far
PRINCESS Eugenie will wed fiance Jack Brooksbank this month, here is everything we know about the Royal Wedding so far.
Taking place on October 12, the Queen’s granddaughter has planned an extravagant two-day celebration.
Drawing similarities from cousin Prince Harry’s May wedding, Eugenie and Jack will wed in St George’s Chapel, Windsor.
More than 850 guests have been invited, which will be a squeeze as St George’s Chapel can only hold 800.
Some 1,200 members of the public will also attend, in a designated area on the grounds, where they will be able to witness the guests arriving.
Princess Eugenie will wed wine merchant Jack at 11am on Friday, October 12, followed by a small carriage procession into the town of Windsor.
The carriage will travel from the Royal Mews out of Windsor Castle and on to part of the High Street.
Members of the public will be able to see the newlyweds pass by, with the best views being from Castle Hill, the High Street and Park Street.

Differing from Harry’s carriage procession with bride Meghan Markle, Eugenie’s carriage will no travel along the Long Walk.
Following the procession, the Queen will host a reception at Windsor Castle.
Latest odds predict the monarch will don a blue ensemble for her granddaughter’s wedding.
A black-tie evening reception will be held for guests at the Royal Lodge in Windsor, a home owned by Eugenie’s parents Sarah Ferguson and Prince Andrew.
The second day of celebrations is planned for Saturday, October 13, which will see guests invited back to the Royal Lodge.
A much more relaxed day will ensue, as A-list party planners, Bentley’s Entertainments will host a funfair-themed day.
A royal source told The Daily Telegraph: "After the more formal celebration at Windsor Castle, the Saturday bash will be a relaxed party.
"There will be dodgems and funfair rides, coconut shies, lots of food stalls, loads of cocktails, Bloody Marys for the hangovers and a festival vibe."
Bentley’s Entertainments previously arranged footballing icon David Beckham’s wedding to Victoria in 1999 as well as Zara and Peter Phillips’ wedding reception.
For royal fans, a star-studded guest list is expected, with Eugenie counting Ed Sheeran, Sienna Miller and Cara Delevingne amongst her close friends.
The wedding day will be shown on ITV, with a three-hour show presented by Ruth Langsford and Eamonn Holmes.
With live coverage beginning at 10am, the show - dubbed This Morning at the Royal Wedding - will show the guests arriving as well as the procession after the ceremony.
