The Queen's granddaughter, 28, will walk down the aisle with her wine merchant fiancé Jack Brooksbank on October 12 at St George's Chapel in Windsor.

When it comes to the bridal party, Princess Eugenie - the youngest daughter of Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson - has more options open to her than Meghan did.

The Duchess of Sussex broke with tradition and didn't have a maid of honour at her wedding, but Princess Eugenie will - and the role will go to her older sister Princess Beatrice.

In an interview with British Vogue, Eugenie provided some insight into how she's feeling about the big day.

"I’m not stressed at all," she explained.

"It's very nerve-wracking because you want it to be perfect but then you realise that you're going to be with the person you love forever and nothing else really matters.

Loyal Beatrice added: "Euge is amazing. She's a very modern bride."

The sisters are extremely close; in a 2008 interview with , Eugenie explained why she thinks they're such good friends.

"We get on fantastically well, perhaps because we do and think different things," she said.

"I am definitely not as polite as Beatrice, I have to say. I tell it as it is. I am shyer at first. Like, at a party I will say to Beatrice as we go in, 'Oh, you go first.'

"But then, when we're actually in, I am much louder and she is far more polite and solicitous."

Princess Eugenie told how her whole house is "anti-plastic" and she and Jack are keen for their wedding to be the same.

Judging by the couple's choices so far, they seem to be hoping to replicate some of the magic of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's May wedding.

From the venue to their exclusive guest list, here's everything we know about this year's second Royal Wedding.

Earlier this week we revealed why Prince Phillip could miss his granddaughter Princess Eugenie’s wedding.
