ROBERT HARDMAN on Princess Eugenie's big day

Daily Mail  

All good things come to those who wait. Princess Eugenie, ninth in line for the throne, yesterday celebrated her dream wedding to tequila salesman Jack Brooksbank at St George's Chapel, Windsor Castle Here was a quintessentially English wedding: hats galore, Elgar, Parry, the Royal Philharmonic and traditional hymns in the very church where St George was made the patron saint of England plus plenty of Bach and two sublime recitals by the Italian tenor, Andrea Bocelli Without the two titanium rods inserted in her spine in 2002, Eugenie would never have been able to walk so proudly and confidently up the 20 steps of St George’s Chapel, Windsor. Princess Eugenie's dress was cut to show the scar for her spinal surgery in 2002 when she had two titanium rods inserted to enable her to walk properly Beatrice was by her mother the Duchess of York's side throughout the day ahead of a family party this evening Harry and Meghan walk hand in hand through the crowds gathered at Windsor, Kate and William walk behind the couple Though Princess Beatrice was formally styled the maid of honour, she was not expected to chaperone the bridesmaids and pages, as Pippa Middleton had done at the wedding of her sister, Kate, to Prince William. Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank, watched by the Duke of York, leave Windsor Castle after their wedding reception hosted by the Queen this afternoon Andrew then wrestled with Eugenie's train as his youngest daughter began her new life as a married woman Her older sister Beatrice also helped her sibling into a rare DB10 Aston Martin made for the James Bond movie Spectre ahead of two days of partying Chapel organist Luke Bond relinquished his seat to a musical cousin of the Duchess of York, Peter Roper-Curzon, who played Bach’s Fantasia in G major as Princess Eugenie entered on the arm of the Duke of York. People line the path where the horse-drawn carriage passes through and past the ITV studios with journalists on the castle turrets above The newest royal couple: Jack and Eugenie walk down the West Steps of St George's chapel after their wedding, attended by 850 family and friends Jack and Eugenie of York survey the crowd at the extraordinary entrance to the church where Meghan and Harry also wed Princes Eugenie looks delighted as she leaves the chapel with her new husband Jack Brooksbank following the ceremony Outside, the Scottish state coach was waiting, the weather being deemed too risky for an open Ascot landau.
