Inside Gabriella Windsor's Royal Wedding - her heartfelt speech and stunning cake

Guests have given royal fans a sneak peek inside Lady Gabriella Windsor and Thomas Kingston's plush wedding.

The couple tied the knot at St George's Chapel - the same venue where Prince Harry and Meghan Markle had their wedding almost a year ago.

They were pictured cutting their huge eight-tiered wedding cake with a sword moments after Lady Gabriella gave a heartfelt speech about family to emotional guests.

Photos from the ceremony show Brazilian royalty posing inside Windsor Castle as guests chatted amongst themselves.

João Philippe de Orleans and Braganza shared pictures at the wedding reception, which appeared to be held in an industrial style venue with exposed metal beams and brickwork.

The venue was decorated with pink lights projected onto the white walls, disco balls and small trees.

There seemed to be plenty of booze flowing as well as scores of empty glasses could be seen on tables in the background.

Their stunning wedding cake was made up of three different flavours, including fruit cake, Victoria sponge and lemon Limoncello sponge.

Fiona Cairns - who also made Kate and William's wedding cake - shared a picture of the newlyweds cutting the cake on Instagram .

She wrote: "The beautiful bride Lady Gabriella Windsor and her husband Mr Tom Kingston cutting their Fiona Cairns wedding cake at Frogmore House yesterday.

"We were so honoured to make this royal wedding cake and be part of such a special day."

Dressed in a stunning blush pink Luisa Beccaria gown, she told the crowd: "Thank you so much for making all of this possible, both at beautiful St Georges Chapel and here at Frogmore - a place so filled with charm and history throughout the house and its enchanted gardens.

"It is particularly meaningful to me as my grandparents, who I never had a chance to meet, are buried here."
