Everything we know so far about Princess Eugenie's royal wedding reception
Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank are officially man and wife! Here’s everything we know so far about the wedding reception that followed the second royal wedding of the year.
The guest social media giveaways
Despite an alleged phone ban at the wedding, some guests have been flouting the rules in order to share pictures and videos on social media.
Reality star and former Eton schoolboy shared a picture wearing a scarf with Eugenie's face on.

He wasn't the only one, though. Eugenie's friends shared pictures from the merry-go-round, while even Princess Olympia of Greece was in on the action, uploading a picture to her personal Instagram stories.

Derek Blasberg joked that he was an honorary Delevingne for the day.
Ayda Fields showed her and husband Robbie Williams' black tie looks ahead of the reception.
The entertainment
As if we couldn't have guessed, Robbie Williams apparently put on an impromptu performance for the guests.
According to the Daily Mail, the Angels star jumped up on stage to entertain the wedding party during the evening reception, which is believed to have been a boozy affair.

And we know that fellow British artist Ellie Goulding also put on a show for her friends.
The party itself had a “festival and funfair” theme, and was held at Royal Lodge, the Yorks' residence in Windsor. One source told the MailOnline before the day:
"There will be dodgems and funfair rides, coconut shies, lots of food stalls, loads of cocktails, bloody Marys for the hangovers and a festival vibe"
The family's gardener reportedly added: "The setup looks amazing so I'm sure it will be one hell of a party."
Jack's speech to Eugenie
According to Anthony Wallersteiner, the headmaster at his former school, Jack's speech to his new wife triggered more than a few tears.
"For a young man of 32 to be that open about his emotions, was quite affecting," he told Hello. "He talked about how she is the one light of his life. She makes him complete and he can't imagine spending a day apart. Everyone cried - Eugenie's eyes went too. I mean she wasn't sobbing. It was just lovely, sweet, short and modern."
At one point, he reportedly jumped up on a chair -- a la Tom Cruise -- before being hastily reminded that he was in the Queen's house.
Not only was Princess Eugenie's wedding the happiest day of her and her new husband's life, it was a pretty darn special one for her pops too.
According to the guests at the reception, the Duke of York was positively choked up with pride.
"The one thing that made me cry was the Duke," the guest said, "when he said he was going to do something he's never done before; he went over to his new son-in-law and hugged him. He isn't a very tactile person."
But it wasn't all emotional, as he apparently got a few laughs too. "The Duke of York told a wonderful joke in his speech," a guest told the Mail. 'He recalled that his dog Jack was sitting on a chair and he shouted, 'Jack, get off!'"
"The dog didn't move, he said, but Jack Brooksbank shot up and fled."
The transport
The happy couple were seen leaving the afternoon reception, hosted by the Queen at Windsor Castle, in a DB10 Aston Martin made for the James Bond movie Spectre. However, Princess Beatrice and Jack had to give the bride a helping hand getting in, as her huge train somewhat hindered the elegant exit.

However, they did reveal a belated costume change once the evening festivities got underway,
Jack slipped into a dapper tuxedo for the black tie affair, while his new wife wore a stunning silk gown designed by New York fashion legend Zac Posen.
