Who Is Princess Eugenie's Bridesmaid, Theodora Williams?
She's the daughter of British pop star Robbie Williams.

Unlike most wedding parties in the United States where the bride's closest female friends flock to her attendance, there's a far more adorable tradition over in the United Kingdom for young girls to serve in the role of bridesmaid. While Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank have no shortage of adorable ladies to choose from in the royal family for their upcoming nuptials, they've also expanded outside the peerage for the wedding party by inviting Theodora Williams to serve as one of the bridesmaids.
Here's everything we know about Theodora so far.
She's the daughter of two X Factor judges.
At 6-years-old, Theodora is the oldest of Robbie Williams and Ayda Field's three children. Williams is a singer-songwriter who is best known for his work with the '90s pop group Take That as well as his successful solo career which made him one of the best selling British solo artists of all time. Field is an American-born actress and presenter who has worked most prominently on the talk show Loose Women. Both serve as judges on this season of the reality competition show X Factor.
According to the Daily Mail, the couple have been friends with both Eugenie and Princess Beatrice for years.
She's better known as Teddy.
Like her little brother Charlton, better knnown as Charlie, and new baby sister Charlotte, who goes by the name Coco, Theodora is known to the family by the adorable nickname Teddy.
Happy 6th Birthday to my beautiful Teddy!! I am constantly amazed at how magic you are. You are my real life unicorn. We love you so much 🦄🦄🦄🌈🌈🌈❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

"Happy 6th Birthday to my beautiful Teddy!!" Fields wrote in an Instagram post on September 18. "I am constantly amazed at how magic you are. You are my real life unicorn. We love you so much."
Her dad credits her with brining him down to Earth.
Williams went through a well-publicized struggle with substance abuse during his music career, but he says his family keeps him motivated to keep his life turned around.
"I figure life's pretty brilliant; I'm in love with my wife, she's great. I'm in love with my daughter, she's magnificent," he told the Daily Mail in 2013. "Everything has a purpose now whereas before, although I was always ambitious, I'd be floating around, whether it was brushing my teeth or receiving an award. And then Teddy arrives and I'm tethered to the planet."

She seems to be musically inclined.
Williams got teary-eyed on an episode of Field's Loose Women when his wife debuted a clip of Teddy singing Williams' song, "Love My Life" which he wrote about his kids.

In addition to practicing her singing voice, Teddy also appears to have taken an interest in the piano. Whether or not that means she'll take up her father's rockstar mantle down the line (when asked if he would let his children audition for X Factor, Williams joked that "It depends what age they would be and if I was a judge,") she's obviously inherited her love of pop, as she showed off at a Taylor Swift concert this summer.

Her parents are very careful about her privacy.
Though they often share snaps of their family on Instagram, both Field and Williams are carefully to avoid showing their kids faces on social media. After the birth of baby Coco, Field even posted a request to that effect in her Instagram.
I spy with my little eye an extra little hand 👀 So we have been keeping a very special secret! We are delighted to share with you that we have had a baby girl….welcome to the world Colette (Coco) Josephine Williams!! 💕💕 It has been a very long and difficult path to get here, which is why we have kept it on the down low. Family comes in all forms, and this little lady, who is biologically ours, was carried by an incredible surrogate mother, to whom we will be eternally grateful. We are over the moon to have this beautiful baby girl in our lives and so blessed that we live in a world which makes this possible. As with Teddy and Charlie, we ask that you respect Coco's privacy and allow us to grow into our new team of 5! #TeamWilliams

"As with Teddy and Charlie, we ask that you respect Coco's privacy and allow us to grow into our new team of 5!" she wrote after announcing their newest family member. We'll just have to wait and see what that will mean for Teddy's appearance in the sure-to-be heavily photographed royal wedding.
