PRINCESS Eugenie’s wedding to Jack Brooksbank gave us some surprising moments that royal watchers will never forget.
JACK’S FUNNY FACE AT THE ALTER
He was a nervous groom, and it showed as Jack put on Eugenie’s wedding ring.
Here is a photo of the two of them at the alter where he had the task of placing the ring on her finger. It looked like he was freaking out a bit!
WHAT JACK SAID TO EUGENIE
According to lip reader Tina Lannin of 121Captions, Jack Brooksbank told Eugenie in the chapel: “Oh, my heart. Oh, break my heart.”
Brooksbank, 32, also said to her: “You look perfect!”
During Princess Beatrice’s reading, Eugenie leaned over to him and jokingly said: “Why aren’t you holding my hand?”
Jack then readjusted her new wedding ring.
Outside on the steps of the church, lip readers have reportedly said that Eugenie asked: “Do you want to kiss?”
“It’s our first time,” Jack replied.
Then he reportedly said: “Careful, don’t fall!”
KATE AND WILLS’ AFFECTIONATE MOVE
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge do not usually show any real affection towards each other in public. But on a romantic day like this, we witnessed Kate putting her hand on William’s leg inside St George’s Chapel.
The couple were waiting for his cousin Princess Eugenie to arrive.
YOUNG BRIDAL PARTY STUMBLES
Battling the wind and a mountainous set of stairs outside St George’s Chapel, the tiny children of the royal bridal party had a few issues.
Six-year-old Louis de Givenchy tripped and Princess Charlotte also took a slight stumble but also waved to the small crowds.
The windy conditions also caught out Lady Louise Mountbatten-Windsor, with a flash of underwear as she accompanied the children up the steps.
MEGHAN AND HARRY TRY TO AVOID THE CAMERAS
The newlyweds were in full force at the wedding before they hop on a plane en route to Australia for the Invictus Games.
But they didn’t want to steal the spotlight from Princess Eugenie and made a very quick entrance right before the ceremony was about to start.
Unfortunately the crowds had eagle eyes and immediately started screaming when they got out of their car.
PRINCE GEORGE PLAYS UP
Prince George was quite cheeky in the chapel. He was pulling faces and laughing and giggling.
Outside the church he was also playing up to the camera.
Reports on the night also suggested he may have picked his nose during the ceremony.
WHO FERGIE WAS POINTING AT
It’s rude to point in public — but that did not stop the Duchess of York.
She was photographed pointing before she went to hug a member of the public as she arrived at St George’s Chapel.
Leaving her elder daughter, Princess Beatrice, Sarah Ferguson greeted family friend Jessie Huberty.
She was a close friend of Sarah’s mother, and attended the Duchess’s 1986 Westminster Abbey to the Duke of York.
Mrs Huberty, from New York, said: “She gave me a big hug and said she was happy that I was here.”
She added: “It was lovely. She is a lovely woman. She never forgets her friends.”
BEATRICE’S DIVISIVE GREAT GATSBY READING
As her Maid of Honour, Princess Beatrice read out a piece from F Scott Fitzgerlad’s book The Great Gatsby.
She stood up and read: “He smiled understandingly-much more than understandingly. It was one of those rare smiles with a quality of eternal reassurance in it, that you may come across four or five times in life. It faced — or seemed to face — the whole eternal world for an instant, and then concentrated on you with an irresistible prejudice in your favour. It understood you just as far as you wanted to be understood, believed in you as you would like to believe in yourself, and assured you that it had precisely the impression of you that, at your best, you hoped to convey.
“Precisely at that point it vanished — and I was looking at an elegant young roughneck, a year or two over thirty, whose elaborate formality of speech just missed being absurd. Some time before he introduced himself I’d got a strong impression that he was picking his words with care.”
But the reading drew criticism on social media:
I get the impression that the Princesses may not actually have read the Great Gatsby, seeing as they just read a passage about the smile of a conman about to massively defraud you pic.twitter.com/wjcZhV6hkT

People who want Great Gatsby vibes on their wedding day should be avoided. It's like reading American Psycho and going "Banking sounds great." https://t.co/f6uBt2TYAI

"'Her voice is full of money' ...

That was it. I'd never understood before. It was full of money - that was the inexhaustible charm that rose and fell in it, the jingle of it, the cymbal's song of it..." https://t.co/VzJBITP1MN
