The young royal’s gown was designed for her by British designers Peter Pilotto and Christopher De Vos and featured a corset top and beautiful full skirt made from a blend of silk, cotton and viscose.

Eugenie – the youngest daughter of Princess Andrew and Sarah Ferguson – also requested that her gown have a low back, to show off the scars from surgery she had at the age of 12 to correct scoliosis.

The fabric of the dress was designed to include a number of symbols that were meaningful to Eugenie and Jack, including the White Rose of York and ivy, representing the couple’s home Ivy Cottage.

The exhibition, which runs for seven weeks, will not only allow royal fans to get a good look at Eugenie’s off-the-shoulder gown, as the stunning Greville Emerald Kokoshnik Tiara will also be displayed. One of the Queen’s personal tiaras, the stunning headpiece is made of diamond, emerald and platinum and features a large emerald stone in the centre.

Mr Brooksbank’s wedding outfit, which comprised of a black and grey morning suit with a vivid blue waistcoat, made by tailors at Huntsman on Savile Row, will also be shown.
