Updated

Princess Eugenie has described her sister Princess Beatrice's wedding as a "complete joy".

Wishing Beatrice and her new husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi a happy wedding day, Eugenie opened up about her pride at seeing her older sister marry in a private ceremony on Friday.

The princess and property tycoon Mr Mapelli Mozzi wed in front of a handful of family including the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh at the Royal Chapel of All Saints at Royal Lodge, Windsor.

Beatrice's something borrowed was a vintage ivory Norman Hartnell gown which belongs to the Queen, and the monarch's own wedding day tiara – the Queen Mary diamond fringe.

Eugenie wrote on Instagram: "Couldn't Bea happier (get it)" – with an emoji of a bee.

She added: "What a complete joy and privilege to watch you, my beautiful big sister, walk down the aisle to dear Edo.

"I am so proud of you and I'm so excited to support you in the next chapter of your life. We are going to have so much fun together. ⁣

⁣"Happy wedding day to you both xxxx."

Eugenie also shared the four official images released by Buckingham Palace to mark the discreet royal wedding.
