Like the saying of how you wait ages for London buses and then two come along, followers of the UK royal family have now been treated to a couple of royal weddings in the space of one year.

Princess Eugenie, the granddaughter of Queen Elizabeth, was married on Friday to Jack Brooksbank, 32, at Windsor Castle - just months after her cousin Prince Harry tied the knot with Meghan Markle.

The Queen was in attendance, along with Prince Andrew (Eugenie's father), Prince William, wife Kate and children, and a smattering of celebrities who took to social media during the event.

Here's the best of the posts from the celebrity guests:

Cara Delevingne

The actress/model wore a suit and top hat, as social media users questioned whether she was the first woman to attend a royal wedding in such a striking attire.

She later posted an image, taken by actress Liv Tyler, on her Instagram of a scene with friends and family crashed out "post wedding".

Those in the image include sisters Poppy and Cara, plus Tyler's husband Dave Gardner.

Robbie Williams and Ayda Field

The former Take That popstar and his wife were looking sharp for the big day, having been dressed by Giorgio Armani.

She wished the bride and groom"a lifetime of happiness" as she followed up her earlier post with one of their outfits for the evening party.

Demi Moore

The Hollywood actress joined forces with designer Stella McCartney for her outfit, as the pair posed for a pre-wedding picture in London.

Moore then sent her a video after the wedding, saying thank you for "feeling so comfortable, and beautiful, like a princess" in her outfit.

Ricky Martin

The Latino singer wore a smart three-piece suit, though many on social media wondered how he made it on to the guest list with no obvious connection to the royal family.

Jack Whitehall and Jamie Redknapp

Comedian Whitehall and former England footballer Redknapp, both of whom are regulars on British TV, posed in front of Windsor Castle in their suits as Redknapp, recently divorced from popstar Louise, joked about his "plus 1" for the day.

Whitehall meanwhile complained about the behaviour of his hair during the event.

Liv Tyler

Another "power photo" from actress Liv Tyler, this time featuring supermodels Naomi Campbell and Kate Moss, plus Moss's daugher Lila and Demi Moore.

Tyler also sent her thanks to designer Stella McCartney for her outfit, as she posted an image of her posing with husband Dave Gardner.

What are NFTs?

Are non-fungible tokens a currency, asset, or a licensing instrument? Arnab Das, global market strategist EMEA at Invesco, says they are mix of all of three.

You can buy, hold and use NFTs just like US dollars and Bitcoins. “They can appreciate in value and even produce cash flows.”

However, while money is fungible, NFTs are not. “One Bitcoin, dollar, euro or dirham is largely indistinguishable from the next. Nothing ties a dollar bill to a particular owner, for example. Nor does it tie you to to any goods, services or assets you bought with that currency. In contrast, NFTs confer specific ownership,” Mr Das says.

This makes NFTs closer to a piece of intellectual property such as a work of art or licence, as you can claim royalties or profit by exchanging it at a higher value later, Mr Das says. “They could provide a sustainable income stream.”

This income will depend on future demand and use, which makes NFTs difficult to value. “However, there is a credible use case for many forms of intellectual property, notably art, songs, videos,” Mr Das says.

What is the FNC?

The Federal National Council is one of five federal authorities established by the UAE constitution. It held its first session on December 2, 1972, a year to the day after Federation.
It has 40 members, eight of whom are women. The members represent the UAE population through each of the emirates. Abu Dhabi and Dubai have eight members each, Sharjah and Ras al Khaimah six, and Ajman, Fujairah and Umm Al Quwain have four.
They bring Emirati issues to the council for debate and put those concerns to ministers summoned for questioning. 
The FNC’s main functions include passing, amending or rejecting federal draft laws, discussing international treaties and agreements, and offering recommendations on general subjects raised during sessions.
Federal draft laws must first pass through the FNC for recommendations when members can amend the laws to suit the needs of citizens. The draft laws are then forwarded to the Cabinet for consideration and approval. 
Since 2006, half of the members have been elected by UAE citizens to serve four-year terms and the other half are appointed by the Ruler’s Courts of the seven emirates.
In the 2015 elections, 78 of the 252 candidates were women. Women also represented 48 per cent of all voters and 67 per cent of the voters were under the age of 40.
