Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank are to invite members of the public into Windsor Castle for their October wedding, as they follow in the footsteps of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.

The couple, who will marry on Friday, October 12, are to use a blueprint of the last Royal wedding to shape their day, adopting the same key elements as the new Duke and Duchess of Sussex.

Inviting 1,200 members of the public into the grounds of the castle to watch guests arriving, Princess Eugenie and Mr Brooksbank will also ask representatives from their favourite charities to catch a glimpse of the happy couple.

Each ticketholder will be able to see the senior members of the Royal family walking into the church, as well as any celebrity guests.

The newlyweds will also undertake a carriage ride through the town, slightly shorter than the route taken by Prince Harry and Ms Markle to take into account the different scale of the wedding.
