EXPLAINER: Princess Eugenie's wedding

IF YOU thought Prince Harry and Meghan’s guest list was impressive, get ready: his younger cousin Princess Eugenie is about to put him in the shade.

The guest list for minor royal Eugenie’s wedding is a celebrity gathering like no other, featuring Hollywood A-listers, music superstars and some of the world’s most famous supermodels.

Eugenie, the daughter of Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson, has long been a regular on the London society scene and the guest list for her nuptials reflects her glamorous connections.

While 1200 members of the public enjoy the ceremony from the grounds of Windsor Castle, some of the world’s biggest showbiz stars will be among the 850 guests inside St George’s Chapel, where Harry and Meghan tied the knot last May.

Music superstar Robbie Williams and wife Ayda will be front and centre in the church — their daughter Theodora Rose is a flower girl alongside Princess Charotte while Prince George will resume his duties as a page boy.

David and Victoria Beckham, who are by now royal wedding veterans after attending the respective nuptials of Prince William and Harry, are also likely to be sitting in the chapel.

Last year, Eugenie made a special appearance at their daughter Harper’s sixth birthday party at Buckingham Palace.

The retired footballer shared a photo of the royal with his daughter, writing: “Lucky Harper meeting a real life princess at the Palace.”

Jack Brooksbank is himself no slouch when it comes to dazzling celebrity mates.

He has invited George and Amal Clooney, who will bring some serious star power when they arrive with close friends Cindy Crawford and husband Rande Gerber.

Clooney and Gerber founded Casamigos Tequila, where Brooksbank works as a brand ambassador.

And Crawford will not be the only supermodel dazzling her fellow guests inside Windsor Castle.

Crawford’s fellow 90s supermodel Naomi Campbell is also rumoured to be attending.

Naomi Campbell, who along with Cindy kickstarted the supermodel phenomenon in the 1990s, will also attend.

The diva-like Campbell is regularly photographed at society and charity events with Eugenie and her older sister, Beatrice.

Campbell’s fellow fashion icon Kate Moss, who is an unlikely close friend of Eugenie’s mother, Fergie, is also set to attend.

The famously party-loving Moss may be sipping green tea and soft drinks at the reception as she has recently vowed to clean up her lifestyle.

Unlike the wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, there’s even a Donald Trump link. American supermodel Karlie Kloss is rumoured to attending with her fiance Joshua Kushner, the brother-in-law of First Daughter Ivanka Trump.

American supermodel Karlie Kloss is also close mates with Eugenie.

Pop princess Ellie Goulding, who sang at Prince William’s wedding in 2011 and is one of Eugenie’s long-time besties, is also one of the star guests.

The sultry blonde singer, who was once romantically linked to Prince Harry, will attend the event with her fiance, British art dealer Caspar Jopling, who is himself an Old Etonian with aristocratic connections.

Jopling is based at Sotheby’s in New York, which is where he was pictured with Eugenie and Brooksbank at a New York Knicks Game at Madison Square Garden last year.

Also representing the music world are James Blunt and Ed Sheeran.

Sheeran found himself in the headlines last year when a bizarre story emerged alleging that Princess Beatrice had sliced him in the cheek when a party prank with a sword went wrong.

At the time it was reported that Beatrice had been attempting to “knight” James Blunt as a joke but didn't realise Sheeran was behind her when she swung the ceremonial blade over her shoulder.

Princess Eugenie is also still close with Chelsy Davy, who was in a relationship with Prince Harry from 2004 to 2011. Picture: Ben A. Pruchnie/Getty Images

It’s a good thing that Meghan Markle doesn’t have any issues with Prince Harry’s exes — both Chelsy Davy and Cressida Bonas are due to be in Windsor to watch Eugenie tie the knot.

Davy and Bonas famously attended Harry’s wedding back in May, proving that the modern-day royals are a somewhat less dysfunctional and more enlightened bunch than previous generations.
