The show will capture all the build up from the ceremony as the Royal Family and, of course, the blushing bride arrive to Windsor Castle for the nuptials.

Afterwards, the cameras will watch newlyweds Eugenie and Jack leaving Windsor Castle to embark on their carriage tour through the streets of Windsor.

Eamonn, Ruth and their guests will then discuss the wedding for the remainder of This Morning’s extended edition.

There has been much discussion over whether Eugenie and Jack’s wedding would be aired on TV.

Unlike the wedding between Prince Harry and Meghan Markle in May, the nuptials will not be broadcast simultaneously on both ITV and BBC.

BBC will instead air news items on the wedding throughout the day, as will Sky News.

Eugenie, 28, and Jack, 31, will marry in the same venue as Harry and Meghan – now The Duke and Duchess of Sussex – of St George’s Chapel, Windsor Castle.

Similar to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, the couple will also invite more than 1,000 members of the public into the grounds of Windsor Castle to join their celebrations.
