Princess Eugenie’s potential bridesmaids revealed, including a chart-topping pop star, a millionaire heiress and Prince Harry’s ex
PRINCESS Eugenie is engaged to her long-term boyfriend Jack Brooksbank.
The Queen’s granddaughter, 27, and her 31-year-old nightclub manager partner are set to tie the knot at St George’s Chapel in Windsor this autumn.
Eugenie’s parents, Prince Andrew, Duke of York, and his former wife Sarah Ferguson, Duchess of York, said they were delighted by the news.
As rumours start flying about their big day, we’re wondering who Eugenie will choose to be her bridesmaids.
From a chart-topping pop star to Prince Harry’s ex-girlfriend, these are the women you might see by her side…
PRINCESS BEATRICE
Princess Eugenie’s closest ally is her older sister Beatrice, 29.
The fiercely loyal pair have navigated their parents’ high-profile divorce, grown up in the spotlight and carried out their royal duties together.
The sisters hit the headlines with their eye-popping hat wear at the wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton in 2011.
Eugenie sported a blue and green Vivienne Westwood dress, teamed with a Philip Treacy hat with taupe feathers sprouting from maroon flowers.
Her sister’s equally outlandish hat later sold on eBay for £81,100.01 in aid of Unicef and Children in Crisis.
When they are not attending official engagements, the pair are often photographed out shopping and hitting London nightclubs together.
ELLIE GOULDING
Ellie Goulding, 30, is a firm friend of the royals and a close pal of Princess Eugenie.
In October, the pair were spotted deep in conversation at a basketball game in New York’s Madison Square Gardens.
They were later seen joking around and pulling daft faces while taking selfies.
The glam pals also put on the glitz in floor-sweeping gowns to attend the Animal Ball charity dinner in November 2016.
Ellie famously performed at the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge’s wedding reception, so could be on hand to belt out one of her famous pop hits at Eugenie’s nuptials.
MEGHAN MARKLE
Princess Eugenie is said to have become “firm friends” with Prince Harry’s fiancée Meghan Markle.
An insider told : “They have all become great friends. Eugenie loves Meghan to bits and believes she is perfect for Harry.
“They are thick as thieves and may even all go on holiday together soon.”
The pair are rumoured to have hung out together at a masked ball in celebrity haunt Soho House.
Eugenie is tying the knot where Meghan and Harry are marrying in May, so the pair can swap wedding tips.
CRESSIDA BONAS
Her romance with Prince Harry may be in the past, but Cressida Bonas is still a firm fixture in royal circles.
The 28-year-old actress is a close pal of Princess Eugenie and the pair are often spotted at London social events together.
They have been photographed while dining at celeb haunt 34 Mayfair, partying at Glastonbury and attending a conference at the China Exchange.
Let’s hope if Eugenie does choose Cressida as one of her maids, she’ll seat her away from Harry and Meghan.
HOLLY BRANSON
Eugenie and her sister Beatrice are close pals with the Branson family.
The pair are often seen with Richard Branson’s eldest daughter, Holly, 36.
They regularly holiday together on Necker Island and the sisters attended Holly’s wedding in 2011.
Eugenie began dating Jack Brooksbank around seven years ago after they met while skiing in the Swiss resort of Verbier.
The Stowe-educated socialite is the manager of Mayfair hotspot Mahiki. He previously worked at Chelsea’s Admiral Codrington and the Markham Inn, where he first met Prince Harry.
News of Eugenie’s engagement comes hours after she was spotted braving the cold on Sunday morning, attending a church service in Norfolk with the Queen.
Princess Eugenie donned an elegant forest green cape with gold buttons to complement the Queen’s emerald green ensemble.
