Meghan Markle and Prince Harry wed this year in May, in a star-studded ceremony attended by the Clooneys and actor Tom Hardy among other famous faces.
Similar to Harry and Meghan’s wedding, Eugenie and Jack are tying the knot in St George’s Chapel, Windsor Castle.
Eugenie, 28, met Jack in Verbier, Switzerland seven years ago whilst skiing.
Die-hard royal fans will be looking forward to more royal wedding celebrations, but will the next Royal Wedding be on TV?
The Mail on Sunday revealed BBC bosses have rejected the opportunity to broadcast the Royal Wedding due to fears not enough people would tune in.
According to The Mail on Sunday, Eugenie’s father, Prince Andrew, was attempting to secure a deal with the BBC.
However, after secret meetings with the BBC Andrew was told they would not air the wedding.
A source told the Mail on Sunday: “From the outset, the instruction from the very top was that Eugenie’s wedding must be televised.
“The BBC was approached because they have a special relationship with Buckingham Palace and a formula that works.
“But they turned it down because they don’t think enough people will tune in and that there isn’t enough support for the Yorks.
“The feeling at the Palace is that the BBC has dropped the ball.
“At the end of the day, this is going to be a huge Royal Wedding, with all the senior members of the Royal Family in attendance.
“But nobody wants to take the risk and spend the money it would cost to put it on air.”
Sky have also decided not to air the big day, instead, the TV giants will show short clips from the ceremony.
However, the wedding could still be televised should ITV pick up the mantle.
The lavish wedding is reported to cost the British taxpayer a staggering £2.7million, according to Royal expert Hamish Shephard.
Mr Shephard told Mail Online: “After Meghan and Harry’s wedding was the most viewed wedding in history, a second royal wedding at Windsor is certainly going to attract another global audience.”
He added: “With Eugenie and Jack both attendees at Harry and Meghan’s wedding at Windsor Castle earlier in the year, they will certainly want to differentiate their day to celebrate their individuality and have their personalities demonstrated throughout the wedding details.
“After Meghan broke tradition by walking herself down the aisle, and by having a gospel choir and her now infamous preacher, Eugenie will be delighted to have the freedom to do exactly what she wants.
“Whilst Meghan and Harry’s wedding was an international spectacular, Eugenie and Jack will be having a more homely occasion celebrating the best of Britain, but with an equally star-studded guest list.”
