Among those taking their VIP seats in the chapel were screenwriter and Downton Abbey creator Julian Fellowes, model Pixie Geldof, Harry’s ex Chelsy Davy, comedian Jimmy Carr and artist Tracey Emin.

Windsor was expected to escape the worst of Storm Callum, but conditions were very blustery as the guests arrived, with many holding on to their hats.

One man was even seen to gallantly chase after a fellow guest’s hat as it blew off and rolled along the ground.

The gothic chapel was filled with autumnal flowers, chosen by Eugenie to evoke the rich and vibrant tones of the season.

Robbie Williams and Ayda Field’s six-year-old daughter Theodora, Eugenie’s goddaughter Maud Windsor, and family friend Louis de Givenchy are also part of the gaggle of young helpers.

Criticism has already been levied at the estimated £2 million security bill, which falls to the taxpayer, for Eugenie’s wedding.

The policing costs will have been increased by the 1km carriage ride the couple will make through the town after the ceremony.

But Eugenie, who is not a working royal, and Jack will not head up the Long Walk like Harry and Meghan, but take a shorter route back to the castle.
