What will Princess Eugenie's wedding dress look like?

Princess Eugenie marries Jack Brooksbank at Windsor Castle. And, as with most celebrity weddings, the majority of the speculation surrounding the nuptials centres on what the bride will wear.

Although we are unlikely to know any firm details about the dress or who has designed it until she steps out of the car that morning, we've looked back at what other recent royal brides have worn, reviewed the rules that the princess may need to adhere to and studied what Eugenie's past style might be able to tell us about her wedding gown.

What have other recent royal brides worn?

When it came to Meghan Markle's dress, almost nobody predicted that she would opt for Clare Waight Keller of the French fashion house Givenchy, with most fashion experts predicting that she would wear a British house such as Ralph & Russo, Erdem or Burberry. In the end, the duchess chose Waight Keller for her "timeless and elegant aesthetic, impeccable tailoring, and relaxed demeanour," according to Kensington Palace. She also wanted to highlight the "success of a British leading talent".

The resulting gown was an understated yet feminine floor-length gown, featuring a bateau neckline and a triple silk organza underskirt. She also chose a cathedral-length, five-metre-long veil trimmed with lace, and a tiara that once belonged to Princess Mary.

What royal rules will Eugenie have to follow?

Life in the royal family tends to come with plenty of protocol that members have to follow, but who has to stick to which rules depends on where they are in line to the throne. So, for example, Meghan and Harry were able to have a more low-key wedding than Kate and William as the latter is the first born and therefore heir to the throne. In the same sense, Zara and Peter's weddings were able to be even more understated as they are further down the line.

Therefore, Princess Eugenie (who is currently ninth in line to the throne) will likely have a much more relaxed set of rules to stick than William and Harry did when it comes to her wedding day, which we we may see play out in what she chooses to wear.
