Snubs, feuds, and fashion: what to watch at the wedding of Princess Eugenie

The weather will not be as sunny, the crowd will not be as large and the procession of carriages will be much shorter. But do not believe for a moment that Princess Eugenie the marriage is going to be a non-event compared to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's Ceremony of May 19th. In fact, for those present, this wedding is perhaps even more fun than the first royal wedding of the year.

Among the 850 guests – 250 more than those invited by Harry and Meghan – will feature a roll call of Senior Royalty as well as many celebrities. Of those who are expected are George and Amal Clooney, Randy Gerber and Kate Moss, Cindy Crawford, Naomi Campbell, Demi Moore, Robbie Williams (whose daughter is also a maid of honor), and Ellie Goulding.

Many of the guest celebrities who travel to Windsor by coach bus on a Friday morning have booked a room at the nearby Cliveden House Hotel, where Meghan spent the night before her wedding. Unlike Harry's marriage to Meghan, which lasted a day, the York has planned two days of events. The cost of the parties, which are paid privately, will cost hundreds of thousands of pounds.

The wedding must begin at 11 o'clock. London time (6 hours in New York) at St. George's Chapel. The members of the royal family will arrive at 10:25 via the porch of Galilee, where they will be received by the dean of Windsor. Fashion watchers will look to see if Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge recycles an outfit, which she often does at weddings so as not to crush the bride. Meanwhile, Meghan, who will return to the chapel nearly five months after her own wedding, will undoubtedly have a breathtaking designer outfit lined up for the occasion.

But in the end, all eyes will be on the bride, who will arrive at the chapel with her father, Prince Andrew, a few moments before the start of the service. "She is super horny and can not wait for everyone to see the dress," said a friend. Vanity Fair Wednesday evening. "She kept this secret well kept, her sister and mother know it and that's it. Eugenie wants it to be a complete surprise. "

All eyes will also be on Eugenie's wedding; she chose six bridesmaids and two page pages, of which Prince George and Princess Charlotte, who will accompany her in the driveway.

Members of the Royal Family who do not participate in the marriage will arrive in the reverse order of precedence, with the Queen arrived just before the bride at 10:52. After the service, which will be led by the Dean of Windsor, David Conner, the newlyweds will follow a carriage procession around the city of Windsor before heading to St. George's Hall for a champagne reception organized by the Queen and Prince Andrew. The processional route is much shorter than that taken by Harry and Meghan and will not include the long walk. It will however be an opportunity for the couple to recognize the crowds that will have gathered in the historic city for the occasion.

After that, the more formal wedding ceremony will take place on Friday nights at the Royal Lodge, a family home in York. Prince Andrew and Eugenie's mother, Sarah Ferguson, have been heavily involved in the planning of the holiday, which should last until the early morning. A second wedding, on the theme of the festival, is scheduled for Saturday.

With rumors of fallout, scraps and divisions, Windsor will not be short of drama or glamor tomorrow. Camilla the Duchess of Cornwall, will not participate because of previous engagements at Inverness; It also appeared that she was organizing a private shooting party this weekend. Meanwhile, there is still uncertainty as to whether Prince Philip will attend the wedding. According to a family friend, he is close to Eugenie, but, according to palace advisers, he will decide the morning of the ceremony, depending on his state of health.

If he attends, the looks that he reserves for his former daughter-in-law will have no price. Eugenie's mother and Philip have not been in the same room for almost two decades, and the sadness persisted after his divorce from Prince Andrew. Royal observers will also look for signs of tension between Andrew and Charles, who are known to not always see the eyes in the eyes.

Real gossip can only emerge from behind closed doors after the party. George Clooney will he make another round on the dance floor with Kate? Will Robbie Williams sing in duet with Ellie Goulding? And will Harry and Meghan leave early before their big tour abroad?

Whatever happens, Vanity Fair will bring you the latest news throughout the day.
