“The ceremony will be followed by a private reception, given by The Queen, in the gardens of Buckingham Palace.”

The Chapel Royal is a favourite venue for royal christenings and charity events, but has not been used for a royal wedding in recent years.

Most recently, the chapel was the backdrop of the baptism of Kate, Duchess of Cambridge and Prince William’s youngest child, Prince Louis.

For most royals, Westminster Abbey is the clear favourite wedding venue.
