Princess Helene of Yugoslavia says "I do" in French church wedding

The wedding of Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank is a few weeks away yet, but impatient royal fans will be pleased to know another princess has tied the knot in the meantime.

Princess Helene of Yugoslavia - the only daughter of the late Prince Alexander of Yugoslavia - wed Stanislas Fougeron in a church in Janville, France on Saturday.

Their reception took place in the Castle of Villeprevost, the groom's family residence in Tillay-le-Péneux.

This is the second wedding for Princess Helene, who was previously married to Thierry Haubert. The pair have three children together.

According to the Royal Musings blog, the bride was escorted to the church by her twin brother, Prince Serge of Yugoslavia.

The British royals have already celebrated the nuptials of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, along with the family's first same-sex wedding - that of the Queen's cousin, Lord Ivar Mountbatten.

The merriment will continue when Princess Eugenie of York says "I do" at St George's Chapel in Windsor Castle - the venue of Harry and Meghan's May 19 wedding - on October 12.

Germany’s Princess Theodora Sayn-Wittgenstein also took a turn down the aisle two months ago, tying the knot with Earl Nikolaus Bethlen de Bethlen.

It's a less happy story for Japan's Imperial Family, with Princess Mako's wedding indefinitely postponed due to the financial issues surrounding her commoner fiancé Kei Komuro's family.

There have also been royal engagements a-plenty this year - Princess Stephanie of Monaco's son Louis Ducret, and Japan's Princess Ayako to name a couple.
