Eugenie, 28, younger daughter of Queen
Elizabeth's third child Prince Andrew and his ex-wife Sarah
Ferguson, the Duchess of York, will tie the knot with boyfriend
Jack Brooksbank, 32, at the monarch's Windsor home on Oct. 12.
It is the same venue where Harry, younger son of
heir-to-the-throne Prince Charles, wed U.S. actress Meghan
Markle at a glittering ceremony in May and Eugenie is copying
some of her cousin's plans for her big day.
Like Harry, she will invite 1,200 people from across Britain to
join in the celebrations in the castle grounds and to watch the
newlyweds leave St George's Chapel after the service.
Charities and children from local schools which Eugenie attended
will also be invited.
The couple will then take a short carriage trip through Windsor,
echoing that of Harry and Meghan when huge crowds turned out to
watch.
Eugenie, ninth-in-line to the throne, works in the art world
while her fiance, a former manager of popular London nightclub
Mahiki, works in the drinks and hospitality industry.
