What traditions do they need to follow when attending the wedding?
Princess Beatrice and Edo have known each other for years but are thought to have struck up a romantic relationship in May 2018.
The pair began dating shortly after the wedding of Meghan and Prince Harry and they announced their engagement in September 2019.
Posting on social media, royals including Sarah Ferguson and Princess Eugenie were quick to post snaps of the couple and share their excitement.

In a post on Instagram, Eugenie said: “Beabea – wow! I’m so happy for you my dearest big sissy and dear Edo. It’s been a long time coming and you two are meant to be.”
Eugenie went on to share a message from the happy couple about their engagement.
It read: “We are extremely happy to be able to share the news of our recent engagement.
“We are both so excited to be embarking on this life adventure together and can’t wait to actually be married.
DON’T MISS
“We share so many similar interests and values and we know that this will stand us in great stead for the years ahead, full of love and happiness.”
Although the wedding date is not yet known to the public, it has been confirmed to take place in 2020.
It is likely Beatrice is already well underway making wedding plans but what royal traditions must guests follow?
Guests of a royal wedding are expected to follow certain rules on the big day which include security checks and sitting in a given seat.

Royal guests are not allowed to sit where they want during a ceremony and royal guests will traditionally sit on the right hand side of the hall, unless the groom is not royal.
More specifically, there is a strict dress code put in place which even Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle must follow.
Wear a hat
When attending a service, all female guests of a royal wedding are required to wear a hat. Speaking to INSIDER, royal expert Myka Meier said: “Hats are considered the most important accessory for a lady when dressing for a traditional British wedding.”
Cover up
Royals are also expected to wear appropriate clothing including tights and stockings if their legs are on display.
Otherwise, guests are to wear long garments and cover their shoulders.
Myka added: “Black tie for ladies means floor length gowns. Shoulders are typically covered.
Don’t steal the show
Like most weddings, guests of a royal ceremony are to stay clear of wearing white or cream garments.
Kate and Meghan are used to stealing the show, so they will probably make an extra effort to keep the attention away.
Speaking before Princess Eugenie’s wedding, royal journalist, Camilla Tominey, spoke on This Morning about what Meghan and Kate will wear.
She said: “We’ll have to keep an eye on Kate and Meghan because traditionally they wear outfits they have already worn before. So they don’t upstage the bride. Just so the attention isn’t on them and rightly on the bride.”
