Sarah Ferguson and Prince Andrew’s youngest daughter will get a chance to greet the thousands of people who have flocked to the Berkshire town to celebrate when she goes on a carriage ride through the cobbled streets of the royal city following her St George’s Chapel ceremony.
The carriage procession route is the same taken by the Earl and Countess of Wessex when they tied the knot in 1999.
Die-hard royal fans will be able to catch a glimpse of the royals during a procession through the streets of Windsor after the couple have officially tied the knot.
Buckingham Palace said the bride and groom’s procession will include the grounds of Windsor Castle from the Royal Mews before entering the town at Castle Hill, and then through Windsor High Street before returning to the castle grounds via Cambridge Gate.
The procession is shorter than the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s back in May and the couple will not journey down Long Walk.
Opportunities for members of the public wishing to view the couple are on Castle Hill – the first place in which the carriage will emerge from the grounds of the castle.
The High Street will also be a good place to view the bride as the carriage makes its way through the historic streets and Park Street.
The ninth-in-line to the throne followed Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s example and opened the invitation to her wedding to members of the public.
And the couple were “touched” as more than 100,000 people applied to join them on their big day.
However invites will only go out to 1,200 lucky applicants.
In a statement, the royal palace said: “The couple are delighted Her Majesty The Queen has agreed for the grounds of Windsor Castle to be opened to those wishing to join the celebrations.
“After receiving over 100,000 applications, invitations have now gone out to the 1,200 members of the public who will join them on the day.”
The lucky ones selected will be joined by representatives of charities and organisations supported by the couple, including the Salvation Army and Teenage Cancer Trust.
The invitation to the 1,200 people does not extend to the ceremony or the reception that will follow.
The Rt Rev David Conner, Dean of Windsor, will conduct the service at the Castle’s 15th Century chapel and the Archbishop of York, Rt. Hon. John Sentamu, will officiate as the couple make their vows.
