Eugenie and Jack's Wedding

The car arrived at the side entrance for the royal family. One of the RPOs opened the door for me and I got out.

The crowd started cheering and I walked over to the Archbishop and shaked his hand and waited for Harry. Harry came up next to me and shaked the Archbishop's hand then placed his other hand on my lower back.

We left the Archbishop and walked into the chapel and was lead down the aisle next to Catherine. She and William smiled at us  and I smiled back before taking a seat.

"You look beautiful, Sofia." Catherine said.

"Thank you, Catherine, you look beautiful as well." I said.

"Hello, William." I said to William.

"Hello, Sofia." William said as I opened The Order of Service for the Wedding of Princess Eugenie of York and Mr Jack Brooksbank.

The Order of Service includes full details about the music, hymns, blessings, readings, Address, prayers and procession. The Queen walked and I waved at her and she sent me a smile.

After what felt like an eternity, the music started, we all stood up and Eugenie and her father, Prince Andrew began her long walk down the aisle.

The the bridal party passed by and I couldn't help but smile at the children walking behind Eugenie holding hands.

As the ceremony commenced, Eugenie had never looked as happy as she did today and I felt tears spring to my eyes as they said "I will."

After two readings, hymns and songs, the ceremony was complete, Eugenie and Jack were officially married.

Eugenie and Jack walked down the aisle as man and wife.

Princess Sofia, Duchess of Sussex and The Duchess of Cambridge Greet Onlookers Together on Christmas

Harry and Sofia, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, and William and Catherine, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, were all smiles as they greeted hundreds of onlookers during a Christmas stroll to a church service on Queen Elizabeth's Sandringham Estate.

The couples followed Prince Charles to the church, with Sofia and Kate walking alongside each other and talking on the way to the service.

The holiday stroll marks the first time both royal couples have appeared together since Sofia and Harry announced that they would be moving out of the two-bedroom Nottingham Cottage on the Kensington Palace estate to Apartment 21.

Queen Elizabeth's husband, Prince Philip, 97, was absent from the church service, as was Prince Charle's wife, Camilla, who is recovering from a cold.

Following the service, the Royal Family greeted a large crowd outside the church. Well-wishers brought bouquets of flowers for the family and wished them a Merry Christmas as they walked by.
