HERE COME THE BRIDESMAID­S

So just who will steal the show in Eugenie’s bridal party?

- By Rebecca English

THEY range from the cheekiest of little bridesmaid­s to a daughter of pop royalty.

The full bridal party for today’s wedding of Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank was revealed by Buckingham Palace on Wednesday.

As well as adorable Mia Tindall, the bridesmaid­s at Windsor Castle will include singer Robbie Williams’ daughter Teddy.

Prince George, a wedding veteran at the age of only five, will be one of the page boys while little sister Princess Charlotte, three, will be a bridesmaid.

Their antics will be sure to pile the pressure on Princess Beatrice as she follows in the footsteps of the most famous royal wedding maid of honour — Pippa Middleton.

As well as Mia, four, Teddy, six, and Charlotte, the bridesmaid­s are Savannah Phillips, seven, her sister Isla, six, and Maud Windsor, five.

Mia, daughter of Zara and Mike Tindall, is well known for her highspirit­ed antics. Her cousin, Savannah, is equally mischievou­s, and was spotted putting her mouth over Prince George’s mouth on the balcony of Buckingham Palace during June’s trooping the colour.

As the only non-royal, Teddy — short for Theodora — is an intriguing choice. Her father and his actress partner Ayda Field, both judges on The X Factor, are good friends of Eugenie and her mother Sarah Ferguson. Former Take That star Williams credits Teddy with helping prevent his life from spiralling into drug addiction.

Alongside George as page boy will be Louis de Givenchy, six, son of Olivier de Givenchy, managing director at JPMorgan Private Bank.

Mr Brooksbank, 32, has asked his younger brother Tom, 30, to be his best man. The ceremony will take place at 11am at St George’s Chapel in front of up to 800 guests.

Most members of the British royal family will be present, except Camilla, who has declined citing a prior engagement in Scotland.

There have been suggestion­s that Prince Philip, 97, who has a notoriousl­y fractious relationsh­ip with Sarah Ferguson, will just ‘see how he feels on the day’. However, royal sources insisted last night that he will be there for his granddaugh­ter’s big day.

Princess Charlotte, three, will be making her fourth appearance as a bridesmaid, having already made star turns at the weddings of her uncle, Prince Harry, auntie Pippa Middleton, and godmother, Sophie Carter. She is said to rule the roost back at the Cambridge family home. Her brother Prince George, five, is more wary of the cameras than his sister, but is also an old hand at weddings.
