The Duke was seated at Westminster Abbey alongside his cousins, Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie.
He was placed between Eugenie’s husband Jack Brooksbank and Princess Alexandra, Queen Elizabeth II’s 86-year-old cousin.
He appeared relaxed as he arrived at the Abbey flanked by his cousins.
He walked down the nave alone, nodding and smiling to several members of the congregation, mouthing “hello” to someone he recognised.

Onlookers joked on social media that she had worn the “view obscuring” feather on purpose.
In reality, it was the plume of the Blues and Royals, whose uniform she was wearing.
