According to the Daily Mail, the Princess' jam-packed royal responsibilities as well as the anticipated post-wedding tour for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle caused Eugenie to postpone her wedding by one month.

Princess Eugenie's father, Prince Andrew, said of the upcoming nuptials, "It’s now about finding the time and the date and getting it all organised, I think probably in the autumn some time, is the time every is looking at. We can’t fix a date yet, we’ve got to look at everybody’s diaries – it’s a bit more complicated than that."
