Princess Eugenie announced her engagement to Jack Brooksbank, a drinks entrepreneur, earlier this year in January.
The pair have been dating for seven years after first meeting in Verbier, a Swiss ski resort frequented by the royals.
Buckingham Palace posted an official announcement to spread the news of the royal engagement.
It read: “The Duke and Duchess of York are delighted to announce the engagement of Princess Eugenie to Mr. Jack Brooksbank.
Wedding date
The wedding will take place on Friday 12 October 2018. It is believed this date was chosen so as not to clash with other royal engagements.
A source told the Daily Mail in January: “Eugenie and Jack are keen to tie the knot quite quickly, and there certainly wouldn’t be any issue as regards the booking of the chapel given who her grandmother [Queen Elizabeth II] is.
”But the issue is that some members of the Royal Family already have commitments in the diary.”
“There is talk of a number of foreign tours for Prince Harry and Miss Markle this year, and September is a date that has been mooted.
There is nothing concrete yet, but it looks as if Eugenie and Jack will go for October instead.”
Wedding venue
The wedding will take place at St. George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle. This is the same venue where Meghan Markle, 37, and Prince Harry, 33, had their royal wedding on 19 May this year.
Wedding party
It is known Princess Eugenie’s older sister, Princess Beatrice, 30, will be maid of honour at the wedding.
The bridesmaids and page boys have not yet been officially announced.
However, it is expected Prince George, 5, and Princess Charlotte, 3, will be included.
What’s more, various publications including the Daily Mail have reported Theodora Rose Williams, 5, the daughter of Robbie Williams, will be a bridesmaid.
Wedding guests
St. George’s Chapel is believed to have a capacity of 800 people. Meghan and Harry opted to have 600 guests.
Senior members of the royal family including Queen Elizabeth II, 92, and Prince Philip, 97, will be in attendance because they are Princess Eugenie’s grandparents.
Prince William, 36, Kate Middleton, 36, Meghan Markle, 37, and Prince Harry, 33 will also be present.
Eugenie and Jack recently moved into a home next to Meghan and Harry. The couple has moved into Ivy Cottage, one of the private, standalone cottages on the Kensington Palace estate.
While the name conjures images of a small residence, it is actually a large three-bedroom home, but is one of the smallest residences on the estate.
Compared to Meghan and Harry’s Nottingham Cottage, for example, it is almost twice as big.
