The Royal Family's "people" asked that guests use discretion and not to post anything wedding related to social media sites. I think Posh and Becks posted a photo for Will and Kate's wedding and were publically shamed as a result; a few folks posted for Harry and Meghan's wedding-- but IIRC, no one posted from the breakfast/party. However, yesterday, it seemed like a lot of celebs ignored the ban and posted ad nauseam. One of the biggest offenders was Demi, who posted Instagram stories left and right. Apparently, she's friends with Fergie (because of course).
The day wasn't about you Demi. It was about a real princess getting married. Show some respect.
As for Jack, it was revealed months ago that he would not be getting a title, even though Andrew was lobbying for one. Apparently, Beatrice's husband also won't get a title.

Zara's husband didn't get a title either, though I don't think he particularly wanted one. Neither did Peter Phillip's wife. At this point it would probably be politically very awkward for titles to be granted, anyway. People seem to respect the Queen and like the younger generation, but it's still iffy.
Their Princess titles will die when they do, so the Queen granting a title would have been the only way for their kids to inherit one. Once you get past grandchildren of an English monarch, the royal titles go. That's why the present Duke of Kent is Prince Edward (his father was Prince George, son of George V) but his son will simply be the 3rd Duke of Kent.

I think Eugenie knocked it out of the park fashion wise. Her gown was breathtaking and her evening reception dress tops Meghan and Kate, IMO.

Once you get past grandchildren of an English monarch, the royal titles go. Only male-line grandchildren of the monarch are princes and princesses. That’s why Anne’s children don’t have a title. The Queen offered Mark Phillips a title before they married, so that his and Anne’s children could have royal titles, but Anne refused. It’s also why QEII issued letters patent stating that all of William’s kids could be styled as princes and princesses. It would otherwise have stopped at William and Harry. QEII is just advancing them the royal titles they’ll eventually have a right to when Charles is king. I expect the same will be done for Harry and Meghan’s children if the Queen is still around by that time. |

They’ve released some official portraits, and this is my favorite. Only because the little girl in front of George is sitting there all splayed and disheveled, gesturing at the camera like she’s saying, “Are you shitting me with this? ANOTHER picture? You’ve already taken about eight thousand.” |

I really liked Eugenie's gown. It was Disney Princess-y without being over the top and I like that she had no veil but still looked fully decked out. That reception dress though. That's one of the most unflattering dresses I've ever seen. It looked like she was wearing muscle suit under it and the shadows emphasized each boob. Awful. |

Mia looks pugnacious and no-nonsense (much like her parents) in candid pix, so I'm not surprised that that personality turned up in the official photo. She's gonna be a tough horse girl like her mother and grandmother when she gets older (if she isn't already), I suspect—or, if she didn't get the horse bug (unlikely!), she'll become a rugger like Dad!
ETA: I'd like to see other photos of the Zac Posen dress before making a final judgment; I think the lighting may be doing weird things in that photo that was released. You can tell how hard Eugenie has worked to get fit for the wedding, that's for sure.

Was it Mia who was holding the Queen's purse in that one official photo?
