With the recent announcement of Princess Beatrice's engagement, there has been a lot of royal wedding chatter. Sarah Ferguson herself said she had "tears of joy" following news of the engagement for her eldest daughter!
A New British Law
A law change earlier this year has now made it possible for couples in Britain to allow their mother's maiden names on their marriage certificates, which means that Fergie will be the first mother of the bride recorded at a royal wedding! This is definitely going down in history and we are so happy.
Previously, only father's of the brides and grooms were recorded on church records and this was still the case with Sarah and Prince Andrew's daughter Princess Eugenie married Jack Brooksbank in October 2018.
Fergie Is Excited
Fergie expressed her excitement towards the occasion on social media in a Tweet that read, "I know what a mother feels so I have tears of joy. I am so proud of this sensational news. Andrew and I are just the luckiest people ever to have two great sons in law." Congratulations to the happy couple and the bride-to-be's mother!
