More of Princess Eugenie, Jack’s wedding photos (second wedding gown, family photo)
Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank have released four new photos from their wedding, including one from the private evening dinner where Her Royal Highness was wearing her second wedding dress. The bride and the groom were all smiles as they posed with their families in their official Royal Wedding pictures.
Eugenie and Jack wed on a windy autumn day on Oct. 12 at St George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle. It was as grand as was expected for someone born a princess.
On Saturday, the British Royal family has released more images from the wedding, including a family picture that had Eugenie’s mum, Sarah, Duchess of York, standing near her grandfather, Prince Philip. The family picture was probably one of the most anticipated photos from the wedding, as the Duke of Edinburgh allegedly still treated Fergie coldly.
In the photo, taken by Alex Bramall, Fergie is standing close to a sitting Philip, who is beside Queen Elizabeth. The Duke of York is standing next to Fergie. And although they aren’t touching, they show a united front for their daughter’s big day. It should be noted that Prince Andrew and Fergie have been amicable, though separated. They even share a house together.
In the next photo, the couple pose with their wedding party, composed of their bridesmaids and pageboys. Most noticeable are Prince George and Princess Charlotte, who are now pros at weddings. Also included in the wedding party are Theodora Williams, Isla Phillips, Louis De Givenchy, Mia Tindall, Savannah Phillips and Maud Windsor.
The third photo is a black-and-white shot of the couple’s kiss inside a carriage (pictured above). They were returning to Windsor Castle following the Carriage Procession.
The fourth sees Jack and Eugenie ahead of their private evening dinner on the same night. Eugenie is wearing her second wedding dress, a blush-coloured gown designed by Zac Posen. She is also wearing a diamond and emerald drop earrings, which Jack has gifted her.
Why Eugenie did not wear a veil
According to royal experts, there is no rule that a royal bride must wear a veil on her wedding day. However, it has become sort of a tradition, with many brides — including Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle — opting to incorporate a veil in their stunning outfits.
Eugenie, however, did not wear one. Her dress, designed by Peter Pilotto and Christopher De Vos, was a white gown with low back and full-length train. It was created with a low back as Eugenie had specifically requested for it to show the scar on her back that she had from a surgery to correct her scoliosis when she was 12 years old. Wearing a veil would have hidden her scar, which was the opposite of what she wanted to do.
In an interview with ITV’s “This Morning” days before the wedding, Eugenie said she wanted to show her scar as it was special for her.
“I had an operation when I was 12 on my back, and you’ll see on Friday, but it’s a lovely way to honour the people who looked after me and a way of standing up for young people who also go through this,” she said. “I think you can change the way beauty is, and you can show people your scars and I think it’s really special to stand up for that.”
