Princess Eugenie has just thrown the internet a party! Can you believe it’s been five years since the late Queen Elizabeth II’s granddaughter said “I do” to her dashing prince, Jack Brooksbank? Well, hold onto your tiaras because Eugenie celebrated this milestone by posting an unseen Wedding video on Instagram, ending with a new family portrait!
The video was captioned ‘5 years ago today…’ and set to the iconic, You’ve Got The Love, by Florence and the Machine. It kicked off with a countdown from five, and suddenly, we were whisked away to the enchanting world of St. George’s Chapel in Windsor Castle, where Meghan Markle and Prince Harry previously tied the knot that May. Picture this: the Royal Standard majestically fluttering in the wind, soft sunlight filtering through the trees (with a disco ball hanging), the luxurious Rolls-Royce that carried the radiant bride alongside her father, and the enchanting horse-drawn carriage that would carry Eugenie and Jack into their happily ever after.
We got an insider’s peek into Princess Eugenie’s stunning Peter Pilotto gown on ma mannequin, designed with a touch of pure elegance – an open back showcasing her childhood scoliosis surgery scar. Talk about grace and courage rolled into one beautiful princess! The video also captured the moment when the Greville Emerald Kokoshnik Tiara graced her head and the bride’s departure for the ceremony, clutching her bouquet with grace and elegance.
And what’s a fairy tale without a dashing prince, right? Cue Jack Brooksbank, looking sharp and raising a glass of champagne with his buddies. It’s all smiles and laughter as he gets ready, capturing the essence of the big day’s excitement. The video even zoomed in on that magical moment when Jack saw his bride walking down the aisle, stealing hearts and making us all believe in happily-ever-afters.
The video didn’t just stop at the wedding ceremony, oh no! We got to witness the love and support of Princess Eugenie’s family, including her ever-so-stylish mom, Sarah Ferguson, and her lovely sister, Princess Beatrice. And guess what? There were even glimpses of Prince George and Princess Charlotte, stealing the show as page boy and flower girl. Talk about cuteness overload!
After sharing their first kiss on the church steps as husband and wife, Eugenie couldn’t contain her laughter as she stood next to Jack, their joy radiating to everyone around them. The film then swiftly transitioned, fast-forwarding through a series of snapshots. Over the romantic carriage photo that Princess Eugenie had previously shared for their fourth anniversary, the date “12 October 2018” appeared, marking a moment frozen in time. As the scenes continued, text updates marked the passing years, overlaying shots of the couple dancing at their evening wedding reception at Royal Lodge, posing for a formal portrait in their wedding finery, and beaming for a delightful selfie, capturing their evolving journey together.
The film’s heartwarming finale showcased the very first public image of Princess Eugenie and Jack as a family of four, their smiles lighting up the frame. In this beach snap, August, their older son, was captured in an endearing moment, playfully raising his hands before Jack, who knelt down to his son’s level with a beaming smile. Eugenie, holding baby Ernest wrapped snugly in a towel, completed the picture-perfect scene, her eyes filled with love and contentment. This touching snapshot not only marked a new chapter in their lives but also symbolized the boundless love and happiness that enveloped their growing family.
