But the last three royal weddings were at Windsor.
If I were Beatrice, I would prefer any other venue, just to have something a bit different.
I don’t think The Queen decides where they get married. To me, she just says that if the venue is good or not for the event (she and her counselors will consider the many factors involved in these decision). Even Lady Gabriella Windsor married at St. George’s Chapel. So I think the queen is getting a kinder and more welcoming as she ages.
Moreover, Princess Beatrice is in the same position of Queen Elizabeth II when she was the first daughter of The Duke of York.
However, let’s pray it’s not the Guards’ Chapel.
C’mon Lilibet.

Which tiara will she wear?

Marriage banns were made binding for all Catholics worldwide in 1908.

I wouldn't say Lady Gabriella marrying at Windsor reflects a change in the Queen's attitude towards who marries there. Lady Helen had a big wedding at St. George's nearly 30 years ago.
They're going to have to decide soon, if it's definitely May 29th - even Royals have to allow a certain amount of time to send out invitations and get replies, have dresses made, plan menus, etc!
I think it was Edward and Sophie who changed things. No-one raised an eyebrow when the Yorks got married at Westminster Abbey … but, in the interim period, the marriages of Edward's siblings had all broken down, and there'd been arguments over public funding, so they went for something less grand.

Wouldn't the security bill be lower if she married in St George's with reception at the castle? They could close the castle for the day - no crowds inside, no carriage ride. It's also easier for them to have an evening party at Royal Lodge.
I am sure the decision has been made, it has just not been made public.

I think it would be a bad idea to have any wedding festivity at Royal Lodge. You would have Andrew being the host. I think you need to downplay Andrew's involvement/role in the wedding. And I think the couple realizes that hence his absence at her engagement party in December.
You cannot down play Andrew's involvement, he is the father of the bride.

Exactly. As far as he is not proved guilty, he is innocent. And Beatrice should not pay for the mistakes made by her parents, so let’s have Andrew the role he deserves as loving father.
He isn't innocent of a friendship with a convicted sex offender that he stated he doesn't regret. None of my suggestions have anything to do with giving Andrew what he deserves as a father. I'm mainly thinking about what I'm willing to pay for and also minimising any negative PR for the working BRF members.

Can any UK living poster tell me what is thought of this wedding in the UK ? Are people looking forward to it ? Is there an interest ? Thanks in advance.
