Queen Elizabeth II's granddaughter Princess Eugenie will marry her fiancé Jack Brooksbank in the St George's Chapel at Windsor Castle on Friday, the same place her cousin Prince Harry married Meghan Markle just a few months before.
Princess Eugenie, 28, is ninth in line to the English throne. Brooksbank, 32, is the son of an accountant and once managed the London nightclub Mahiki, popular with celebrities and royals. The pair will marry in a ceremony set to begin at 11.00 a.m. BST, which is 06.00 a.m. ET.
A live stream of the wedding events will be broadcast on The Duke of York's YouTube channel. The live stream is embedded at the bottom of this page. Prince Andrew, the Duke of York, is Princess Eugenie's father. Her mother is the Duchess of York Sarah Ferguson.

At 7.00 a.m. BST, doors to the castle open to the public. Just an hour and a half later, the guests will begin arriving at the chapel, according to an itinerary reported by BBC News.
At 10.32 a.m. Princess Eugenie's mother will arrive with her sister, Princess Beatrice. Three minutes later, the groom and his best man—his younger brother Tom Brooksbank—will arrive at the chapel.
The Queen will arrive at 10.52 a.m. followed by the bride and her father at 10.57 a.m. when she will walk down the aisle ready for the service to begin at 11.00 a.m., which the Dean of Windsor David Connor will conduct.
At the end of the ceremony, which will include two performances by the Italian tenor Andrea Bocelli, the newlyweds will depart on a carriage procession around Windsor before heading to an afternoon reception put on by the Queen at Windsor Castle.
Then they will move on to an evening party at the Royal Lodge in Windsor Great Park, home to the York family.
Aside from the royal family, guests rumored to be attending include George and Amal Clooney, singers Elton John, Ellie Goulding, Robbie Williams and James Blunt, and 1,200 members of the public, according to Harper's Bazaar.
In videos posted to the royal family's website, the couple speak about the moment they got engaged while on holiday in Nicaragua in January 2018.
"We had a beautiful volcano, the sun was setting, birds were flying," Brooksbank said, and confirmed he got down on one knee as is traditional.
"The lake was so beautiful," Princess Eugenie said. "The light was just a special light that I'd never seen. I actually said, this is an incredible moment, and then he popped the question, which was really surprising even though we'd been together seven years. So I was over the moon, crying.
"It was the perfect moment. We couldn't be happier because we knew it was going to end up this way."
