After Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, the second royal wedding of the year is fast approaching.
Same place, different people – Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank make up the couple that ties the knot on October 12th.
So what can you expect this time? Here is everything you need to know.
Who is Princess Eugenie?
She is the granddaughter of the Queen and the second daughter of Prince Andrew and Sarah, the Duchess of York.
The 28-year-old is ninth in the throne, just behind her sister Beatrice.
The sisters are usually remembered for their outfits making the wedding of Prince William and Catherine in 2011.
Her full title is Her Royal Highness Princess Eugenie of York. She does not have an official last name, but uses "York".
She will retain her royal title at her wedding and will have the opportunity to take her husband's last name.
The Princess, who studied English and Art History at the University of Newcastle, is director of the Hauser and Wirth Contemporary Art Gallery in London.
Eugenie, recently converted to Instagram, is close to her two parents who divorced when she was a child but who remain friends.
In an interview with British Vogue, she said she had an "anti-plastic" house and that she wanted their marriage to follow her example, reflecting their ecological point of view.
She was named in honor of one of Queen Victoria's granddaughters – Victoria Eugenie of Battenberg – and her name is pronounced "YOO-jun-nee", according to her mother.
Who is she getting married?
Jack Brooksbank, former club director Mayfair Mahiki, met the princess at the age of 20 while on a ski trip to Verbier in the Swiss Alps.
The ambassador of the tequila brand, 32, said it was a "love at first sight".
He was educated at a public school in Buckingham, the Stowe School, whose alumni include businessman Sir Richard Branson.
He worked in bars and pubs for several years and once said that his dream was to create a chain of pubs.
The queen would have given her blessing for the wedding when the couple went to Balmoral for Prince Harry's 32nd birthday.
Jack suggested in January of this year in front of a Nicaraguan volcano, overlooking a lake at sunset.
He won the approval of his future mother-in-law, who declared that she "loved Jack" in a series of social media publications celebrating the announcement.
His future father-in-law, Prince Andrew, described him as a "remarkable young man".
The Queen might decide to give Jack a title before his wedding – maybe a county.
The couple live together in an apartment called Ivy Cottage, located in the precinct of Kensington Palace.
Where and when is the wedding?
The couple will marry at 11:00 am, Paris time, on October 12, at St. George's Chapel in Windsor Castle. This is the same place used by Prince Harry and Meghan.
After the ceremony, the newlyweds will take a carriage ride through Windsor, but will not walk up the long march as the Duke and Duchess of Sussex did in May.
In the afternoon, the Queen will host a reception for her granddaughter, her new husband and guests at Windsor Castle.
Evenings would be held at the Royal Lodge Windsor's Great Park – the property is Andrew's family home and his ex-wife Sarah.
How can you follow him?
The ceremony will be fully broadcast on ITV as part of a special extended This Morning.
Eamonn Holmes and Ruth Langsford will host This Morning at the royal wedding from 9:25 am to 12:30 pm in Windsor.
You can also follow the big day on the BBC News website and BBC News Channel.
Who go?
Just like the wedding of Meghan and Harry, 1,200 members of the public were invited into the castle grounds to see the couple getting married.
Buckingham Palace reported receiving more than 100,000 requests from people wishing to attend.
Representatives of charitable organizations and organizations supported by the couple will be among the guests in the castle grounds, including the Royal National Orthopedic Hospital, the Teenage Cancer Trust, the Royal Canadian Orthopedic Hospital. Salvation Army and the United Nations Trust Fund against Violence against Women.
There will also be children from two local schools attended by Princess Eugenie – St George's School and Coworth Flexlands School.
About 800 guests will be serving the wedding, with some famous faces expected.
Eugenie's friends include singer Ellie Goulding, model Cara Delevingne and children of Sir Richard Branson, Holly and Sam.
Hints about the dress?
The princess told Vogue that the dress was the only thing she had been "decisive" about.
"As soon as we announced the wedding, I immediately knew the designer and the look," she said.
"I never thought I'd be the one who knew exactly what I like, but I'm pretty familiar."
She hinted at her ideas in an interview with The One Show of the BBC. When asked if she would wear a straight dress or meringue, Eugenie replied, "Maybe a mix of both, can you do that?" Is there such a thing?
"No shoulder meringue – it's a little old-fashioned – it's maybe fashionable now – we'll see what happens."
Erdem – a London-based designer – has been suggested as one of the favorites to design the wedding dress.
The princess wore a short-sleeved floral dress from the Canadian-born designer for her engagement photo shoot at Buckingham Palace.
Will she wear a tiara?
When the mother of Princess Eugenie married the Duke of York in 1986, she hid her tiara under a wreath of flowers …
… only revealing it after signing the register to symbolize his new royal status.
She wore the York diamond diadem, a wedding gift of the Queen and Duke of Edinburgh, several times after the marriage and kept it after her separation from Prince Andrew in 1992.
So, could the "borrowed thing" of Princess Eugenie be her mother's diadem?
Or perhaps, like Catherine and Meghan, the queen will lend her one of her personal collection.
What about the distribution of support?
The sister Beatrice of Princess Eugenie, 30 years old, will be her maid of honor.
The children of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, Prince George and Princess Charlotte, should take over the role they played at the wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan as a pageboy and bridesmaid.
It has been reported that the five-year-old daughter of X-Factor judges, Robbie Williams and Ayda Field – Theodora Rose Williams – would also be a bridesmaid.
Mr. Brooksbank's younger brother, Tom, would be his best man.
Who will lead the service?
Windsor Dean David Conner, who led the service for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex in May, will marry the couple.
The prayers will be led by York Archbishop John Sentamu, the first black archbishop of the United Kingdom, who recently announced his retirement.
Who pays for the wedding?
As for the first royal wedding of the year, the wedding will be paid privately, with the exception of security, which will be recovered by the taxpayer.
- Who pays for the wedding of Harry and Megan?
Republic anti-monarchist campaign group says security costs are estimated at £ 2m.
The full security bill for Prince Harry's wedding with Meghan Markle has not yet been revealed, although this one should be a lot cheaper because of the couple's lower profile.
What memories are offered?
The Royal Collection Trust's fine commemorative bone china collection includes miniature coasters, mugs, cups and saucers.
Porcelain made in Stoke-on-Trent costs between £ 20 and £ 39.
