Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank will travel in a carriage after their wedding at St George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle on October 12.
The procession will follow a similar route to that of Prince Harry and Meghan’s carriage procession in May, which took the royal couple through the streets of Windsor and down the Long Walk.
The carriage carrying the newlyweds will process through the grounds of Windsor Castle, departing via Castle Hill to proceed along part of the High Street before returning to the Castle via Cambridge Gate.
Princess Eugenie and Mr Brooksbank have invited members of the public to the grounds of Windsor Castle to share the special day with them, as Meghan and Harry did.
Charities and children from local schools which Eugenie attended will also be invited to the chapel in October.
Buckingham Palace made the announcement on Wednesday afternoon.
The palace said: “Her Royal Highness Princess Eugenie of York and Mr Jack Brooksbank will invite members of the public to join in the celebrations of their wedding on Friday 12th October.
“The couple are delighted to announce an opportunity for 1,200 people from across the United Kingdom to be invited into the grounds of Windsor Castle to share the experience of their special day.
“The attendees will view the arrival of the congregation and Members of the Royal Family, listen to a live broadcast of the Marriage Service and watch as the Bride and Groom depart St George’s Chapel at the end of the ceremony.”
Princess Eugenie, the younger daughter of Queen Elizabeth’s third child Prince Andrew and his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson, the Duchess of York, announced their engagement in January.
Eugenie, ninth-in-line to the throne, works in the art world while her fiancé, former manager of London nightclub Maliki, works in the drinks and hospitality industry.
The pair had become engaged in Nicaragua during a private holiday.
Princess Eugenie said she cried when Mr Brooksbank went down on one knee to ask for her hand in marriage.
She revealed the proposal was a “complete surprise” but the “perfect moment.”
The 28-year-old began dating the 31-year-old brand ambassador of Casamigos Tequila about seven years ago after they met while skiing near the Swiss resort of Verbier.
He was working as a waiter when he first met Eugenie and climbed the ranks in the hospitality world, where he worked at Chelsea’ Admiral Cordrington pub.
However he was head-hunted by Piers Adam to join the Markham Inn and he got got know Prince Harry and his friend, Guy Pelly, who invited him to join Mahiki.
Prince Harry and Meghan rode around Windsor in the Ascot Landau carriage and even managed a second kiss during their romantic ride.
Members of the public who want to attend the royal wedding in October can apply through the royal family’s website.
