Eugenie, 28, younger daughter of Queen
Elizabeth's third child Prince Andrew and his ex-wife Sarah
Ferguson, the Duchess of York, will marry Jack Brooksbank, 32,
at the monarch's Windsor Castle home on Friday.
Former "Take That" star Williams and Field are friends with
Eugenie and her sister Princess Beatrice, and are expected to
attend the wedding, British newspapers reported.
Three-year-old Princess Charlotte, daughter of Prince William
and his wife Kate Middleton, will also be a bridesmaid, the
palace said, while her brother Prince George, 5, will be a page
boy.
The venue is 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.
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.
Eugenie has asked Princess Beatrice, to be her Maid of Honor,
the palace said, while Brooksbank has asked his brother, Thomas
Brooksbank, to be his Best Man.
