Princess Eugenie asks pop star’s daughter to be her bridesmaid

PRINCE Harry and Meghan Markle’s wedding may have been full of celebs, but it appears Princess Eugenie’s October nuptials will pack plenty of star power, too.

MEGHAN Markle may have had Princess Charlotte as her bridesmaid, but Princess Eugenie has enlisted the help of pop royalty.

Eugenie, 28, is set to marry her fiance Jack Brooksbank inside St George’s Chapel in Windsor Castle (the same location as Harry and Meghan’s royal wedding) on October 12.

The couple had been dating for seven years when they became engaged during a holiday to Nicaragua in late 2017, announcing their engagement in January.

The bride-to-be is now busily locking in details for their big day — including who will appear in her bridal party. According to reports, she’s already chosen Robbie Williams’ five-year-old daughter Theodora to be one of her bridesmaids.

The Daily Mail reports that Eugenie and her sister Princess Beatrice have been friends with the former Take That singer and his wife Ayda Field for many years.

THE OTHER ROYAL WEDDING: Everything we know about Princess Eugenie’s big day

Eugenie has also reportedly asked Princess Charlotte, 3, to join the bridal party.

It will be the young royal’s third time taking on a role in a high-profile wedding.

As well as for Harry and Meghan’s wedding in May, she was also bridesmaid for her aunt Pippa Middleton when she married James Matthews last year.

According to reports, Charlotte took her role as bridesmaid at the royal wedding earlier this year very seriously, telling the other kids what to do during the ceremony.

A guest told People magazine that the young royal was “really sweet” but also made sure everyone did the right thing.

“There was one girl who wanted to go and she said, ‘No you can’t go yet. We have to wait until we are asked.’”

Meanwhile, Charlotte’s older brother Prince George, who turns five in a few weeks, has reportedly been asked by Eugenie to be a pageboy — marking his third time in a bridal party as well.

While there’s been no official announcement yet, given the closeness of Eugenie and Princess Beatrice, it’s likely she’ll follow in the Duchess of Cambridge’s footsteps and have her sister as maid of honour.
