Throughout history, members of the Royal family have been getting hitched in style. From Queen Victoria to Prince William, every wedding had something interesting to it.
With just a day to go for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s wedding extravaganza, here’s a look at some of the lesser-known facts about the royal weddings from the past.
4. Unlike the tradition, Prince William and his bride, Kate Middleton, had two wedding cakes – a frozen chocolate biscuit cake and the main royal wedding fruit cake.
6. It took 15 fittings to get Princess Diana’s dress to fit for the big day. Eventually, the designers had to sew Princess Diana into her wedding dress due to her drastic weight loss since her initial fitting.
8. Queen Elizabeth used ration coupons to pay for her dress because even royalty couldn’t escape the rationing imposed on British citizens following World War II.
10. After exchanging vows with his new bride, Princes Charles forgot to seal them with a kiss at the altar. Later, they smooched on a balcony outside Buckingham Palace, starting a new tradition for others to follow.
12. Prince Charles and Camilla Parker Bowles were made to acknowledge their ‘manifold sins and wickedness’ in front of the congregation at St. George’s Chapel.
