Can you guess which hit song Princess Eugenie chose for the first dance at her starry wedding? And what DID she mean by ‘Euge Got the Love’?

It’s one of the key wedding questions – for the royals as much as the rest of us.

What song will you choose for your first dance? 

Princess Eugenie recently revealed her that, when she took the floor with Jack Brookbank, they moved to the sound of You’ve Got the Love, the 2008 hit by Florence and the Machine.

And there was a sentimental reason for the choice, as she admitted when appearing on ‘Kate Thornton’s White Wine Question Time’ podcast.

‘That was our first dance, You’ve Got The Love, and it’s because when we first started dating – so Jack and I have been together for 13 years – we used to sing ‘Euge got the love’ not ‘you’ve got the love,” she laughed. 

‘Nobody knows that,’ she then remarked. ‘That’s a real big nugget!’ 

As for the rest of the royals…

Prince William and Kate Middleton

William and Catherine chose a rendition of Your Song by Elton John, sung live at the reception by Ellie Goulding in April 2011.

The song has a connection to his mother Princess Diana – Elton had originally planned to sing the melody at her funeral in 1997.

Zara Phillips and Mike Tindall

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle

For their first dance at the couple’s May 2018 wedding, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle chose Land of a Thousand Dances, by Wilson Pickett

Speaking for the trailer of their Netflix documentary, Harry and Meghan seemed a little hazy about the name of the classic they chose for the first dance.

Meghan said: ‘I just really wanted the music to be fun.’

Then she asked Harry: ‘Even our first dance. Song of a thousand dances? I always get it wrong,’ before singing a few of the lyrics such as ‘Mashed potato, do the alligator’.

She was right of course: Wilson Pickett’s version of the 1962 hit,  Land of a Thousand Dances.

Lady Gabriella Windsor and Tom Kingston

To make matters more special, it was her sister-in-law, Sophie Winkleman, who performed it at the reception.

Speaking to the Daily Mail at the London Art Biennale, she said: ‘There were a few tears but I’m not sure if it was because they were moved or wanted me to stop!’
