Gabriella is 50th in line for the throne and tends to remain out of the spotlight. Her parents will reportedly cover the wedding expenses.
According to Hello! a royal correspondent says the wedding will be "for family and friends, and very different" from the two royal weddings of 2018.
Sources also claim that a carriage procession will not take place, neither will members of the public be allowed into the castle.
The Windsor will not hold a reception either. However, the castle holds meaning for Lady Gabriella, who spent several Christmases there. Frogmore cottage also has sentimental value due to her grandparents' having been buried there.

The last royal wedding saw Princess Eugenie in a white, v-necked wedding dress with a long train. She wore an emerald studded tiara and styled her hair in a low bun.
The 28-year-old released new pictures over a month after the wedding took place, showing how she is still enjoying the bliss of being just married.
A black-and-white photo featured Eugenie standing alongside Brooksbank. Their arms were wrapped around each other. They both wore toothy smiles.
Eugenie captioned the photo:
"tbt to THE greatest day of my life [sic]."
We hope that Lady Gabriella has just as happy a wedding day as her fellow female members of the royal family.
