Princess EugenieandJack Brooksbankare ready to party!
The longtime couple’s upcoming royal wedding will be a weekend-long affair, with a party on Saturday afternoon on the grounds of Royal Lodge — Eugenie’s family home in the parklands around Windsor Castle — in addition to Friday’s ceremony and festivities.

But unlike Harry and Meghan’s day-long celebrations, Eugenie and Jack are extending the party for another full day. The party will continue on Saturday afternoon with a festival-style event complete with a fairground and food stalls.
Despite claims that the Queen’s cousin, party planner Lady Elizabeth Anson, is involved in the castle reception on Friday, a source says that it’s the couple who are “running the show,” as a friend puts it. “It is Eugenie and Jack’s party and they are very much involved in all the details and decisions,” the source adds.

If Lady Elizabeth’s organization is brought in, it would more likely be for the rehearsal dinner the night before the ceremony or other parties the Queen might want to hold for her friends and invitees.
Around 500 guests are expected to attend Friday’s ceremony and the lunch — with celebrity guests such asVictoria and David Beckham,Elton John, singersEllie GouldingandJames Bluntare all reported to be in attendance (just as they were for Harry’s nuptials).George and Amal Clooneycould also be in attendance, as Jack is a brand ambassador for the actor’s Casamigos tequila company, which he sold last year.
