Five months ago, Britain’s Prince Harry and Meghan Markle tied the knot.

Now, his cousin, Princess Eugenie -- Queen Elizabeth’s grand daughter -- is marrying Jack Brooksbank at St George’s Chapel.

 

Here are the highlights from the second royal wedding of the year. 


SEALED WITH A KISS

Britain's Princess Eugenie wedded Jack Brooksbank in a one of the most celebrity-packed royal weddings in history. The newlyweds had invited 850 royals, aristocrats, VIPs and friends - 150 more than Harry and Meghan when they married five months ago. The bride, 28, could not stop grinning at her groom during their hour-long service but Jack, 30, looked overcome with emotion throughout. Brooksbank told Eugenie: "You look perfect" and also "oh, break my heart" as she arrived at the altar and she joked: "Aren't you going to hold my hand?" as she calmed his nerves.

Eugenie shares a look of love with her new groom during the service, which was traditional. There was also opera star Andrea Bocelli's spine-tingling rendition of Ave Maria but a reading by Princess Eugenie from The Great Gatsby was an unconventional touch as was using abstract art on the back cover of the Order of Service.

THE BLUSHING BRIDE

Princess Eugenie’s dress features a neckline that folds around the shoulders to a low back that drapes into a flowing full length train, Buckingham Palace said. The dress includes a number of symbols that are meaningful to Princess Eugenie as motifs, including a thistle for Scotland acknowledging the couple’s fondness for Balmoral, a Shamrock for Ireland as a nod to the bride’s Ferguson family, and the York Rose and ivy representing the couple’s home.

Princess Eugenie, who was accompanied by her father Prince Andrew, Duke of York, is also wearing the Greville Emerald Kokoshnik tiara, now owned by the Queen. Her diamond and emerald drop earrings were a gift from her husband Jack. Photograph: Toby Melville/Reuters

In platinum and diamonds, the tiara has an enormous 93.70-carat emerald at its centre, and six smaller emeralds either side. It was part of the ‘Greville bequest’, a remarkable collection of jewellery left to the Queen Mother by Margaret Greville, a prominent member of society who was a close friend of Queen Mary. The heirloom bandeau-style headpiece was the royal bride's something borrowed, on loan from her grandmother, the Queen. Photograph: Andrew Matthews/Pool/Reuters
