Zara Tindall's controversial comment to Prince Harry that could upset Eugenie
Princess Eugenie's royal wedding took place just five months after Prince Harry and Meghan Markle tied the knot at the same venue.
And as the bride prepared to walk down the aisle, one royal couldn't help making a comparison between the two weddings. Sitting inside St George's Chapel at Windsor Castle, Zara Tindall was seen leaning back to say a few words to Harry about his own nuptials. According to a Mirror Online lip reader, she told the 34-year-old prince: "It's very quiet compared to the screaming at your wedding."
In response, he asked: "Mine?" Meghan, who leaned forward as Zara spoke, donned a navy dress and coat by Givenchy for this morning's ceremony in Berkshire. At her own wedding, she had worn a wedding gown by the same designer as she married Harry in a spectacular service at the 15th Century chapel.
Eugenie's wedding was once again a showstopping event when she married drinks executive Jack Brooksbank. However, the couple's ceremony was noticeably more muted than Harry and Meghan's - as Zara pointed out to the Duke of Sussex. On the earlier occasion, loud cheers and screams from well-wishers outside the Gothic church could be heard by those inside it.

The seating was laid out differently, perhaps to accommodate the bigger crowd, with guests' chairs lined out facing into the aisle. At about 10.30am, a hush fell over the chapel. Attendees took their seats against the backdrop of music from the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra.

The bride's arrival was heralded by trumpeters lined out at the back of chapel - which startled some members of the young bridal party. Prince George was spotted putting his hands over his ears. The mischievous then five-year-old had royal fans in stitches as he giggled hysterically and picked his nose at points throughout the day.
Chosen as a page boy by Eugenie and Jack, he was seen laughing with his seven-year-old cousin Savannah Phillips as they stood in the chapel. Dressed in a smart little suit, he appeared greatly amused as little Savannah tipped her head back and pretended to play a trumpet.
He was also seen craning his neck to take in his surroundings, apparently curious to be at the second royal wedding of the year at the chapel. His younger sister, Princess Charlotte, was a bridesmaid - as was Mia Tindall, the daughter of Zara and her rugby player husband Mike.
George and Charlotte have a lot of wedding experience, having already been page boy and bridesmaid for at least three other couples. At today's wedding, bride Eugenie made her entrance in a Peter Pilotto and Christopher De Vos wedding dress and an emerald tiara.
She waved to crowds as she arrived at the chapel's West Steps in a 1977 Rolls Royce Phantom VI, which belongs to the Queen. She was accompanied by her proud dad, the Duke of York. While Meghan walked through the nave without her father on her arm at her May 19 wedding, Eugenie had Prince Andrew by her side.
The princess's maid of honour and "big sissy" Princess Beatrice looked on, while her proud groom Jack was waiting at the altar for her. He was joined by his best man and brother, Tom Brooksbank. Jack and Eugenie later shared two shy kisses after tying the knot. According to professional lipreader Tina Lannin, the newlywed bride initiated the tentative kisses on the West Steps of the chapel. Standing before the waiting cameras, she told her groom: "Let's kiss".
