The couple are getting married at the same venue as Prince Harry and Meghan

Hot on the heels of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, the second royal wedding of the year is fast approaching.

Same venue, different people – Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank are the couple tying the knot on 12 October.

So what can you expect this time around? Here’s everything you need to know.

Who is Princess Eugenie?

She is the Queen’s granddaughter and the second daughter of Prince Andrew and Sarah, Duchess of York.

The 28-year-old is ninth in line to the throne, just behind her sister Beatrice.

The sisters are widely remembered for their headline-grabbing outfits at Prince William and Catherine’s wedding in 2011.

Her full title is Her Royal Highness Princess Eugenie of York. She has no official surname, but uses “York.”

She will keep her royal title when she marries and will have the option to take her husband’s surname.

The princess, who studied English and history of art at Newcastle University, is a director at contemporary art gallery Hauser and Wirth in London.

Eugenie, a recent convert to Instagram, is close to both her parents who divorced when she was a child but remain friends.

In an interview with British Vogue, she said she had an “anti-plastic” house and wanted their wedding to follow suit, reflecting their environmentally-friendly views.

She was named after 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 marrying?

Jack Brooksbank, the former manager of Mayfair club Mahiki, met the princess when she was 20, on a skiing trip to Verbier in the Swiss Alps.

The tequila brand ambassador, 32, said it was “love at first sight”.

He was educated at a public school in Buckingham, Stowe School. A former pupil is businessman Sir Richard Branson.

He worked in bars and pubs for several years and once said his dream was to start a chain of pubs.

The Queen reportedly gave her blessing for the marriage when the couple went to Balmoral for Prince Harry’s 32nd birthday.

He has won the approval of his future mother-in-law, who said she “loved Jack” in a series of social media posts celebrating the announcement.

His future father-in-law Prince Andrew described him as an “outstanding young man”.

The Queen could decide to give Jack a title ahead of his wedding – possibly an earldom.

The couple live together in an apartment called Ivy Cottage in the grounds of Kensington Palace.
