The wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton. Wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton Wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton |
We girls, as a rule, adore (even sometimes afraid to admit to ourselves) the fairy tale about Cinderella. The marriage of Prince William and Kate Middleton, of course, cannot be called an exact reproduction of a beautiful fairy tale (the bride's parents are millionaires). But this romantic story interests and excites millions of people around the world. And even if you are pragmatic and rational, it is always interesting to learn and see how the wedding ceremony of members of the royal family takes place in our time. So, you might be surprised to learn that... 1. It was a holiday in the British EmpireThe wedding day was established as a national holiday. This decree applied to all, including Bermuda and Falkland Islands, Turks and Caicos.2. The bride did not use the services of a makeup artist.Kate did her own wedding makeup. They say the Duchess took makeup lessons from the popular London artist Arabella Preston. Wedding planner Mark Nemerko previously said: “She had three or four lessons with Kate in her own Chelsea flat and also had a private visit to Clarence House. Arabella was supposed to help the bride on her wedding day, but no. "Kate was confident in her ability to do her own makeup."3. The newlyweds splurgedspared no expense on the holiday; $34 million was spent on organizing the celebration. Having saved on the location of the ceremony, the newlyweds paid 800 thousand dollars for the flowers, the birthday cake cost 80 thousand, and the bride’s outfit was estimated at 434 thousand.4. The princes’ uniforms were “secret”Princes William and Harry's dress uniforms were made from a special fabric in the hope of preventing men from overheating while wearing closed clothing. When millions are looking at you, it's hard not to sweat!5. Kate complimented the groom... with a flowerThe bride showed her love and attentiveness to her chosen one by adding one flower called “Sweet William” to her wedding bouquet of hyacinths, lilies of the valley and ivy.6. Not a single tree was harmedThe trees used for the ceremony have found a new home. The English maples that adorned Westminster Abbey were transplanted the next day to Prince Charles's estate in Wales.7. The bride's tradition was respectedKate followed tradition and on her wedding day wore something new (the earrings were given to the bride by her parents), old (some of the lace on the dress), blue (the ribbon sewn into the outfit) and borrowed (Queen Elizabeth II's tiara).8. The couple had their first dance while Ellie Goulding sang.Ellie Goulding, beloved by many for her soundtrack song to the film “50 Shades of Grey,” Love Me Like You Do, was given the honor of performing at the royal wedding. performed her version of Elton John's "Your Song" for the newlyweds' first dance. Later, the performer shared her impressions of this event: “I was so nervous that my hands were shaking.”9. The bride and groom did not exchange wedding rings.There was no formal exchange of wedding rings at the ceremony. Earlier, the palace released a statement about Prince William's decision to abandon tradition and do without the ring: “This is simply a personal preference. The couple discussed this issue, but the prince is not one to wear jewelry.”In the wedding photos, we still see that the groom puts a gold ring on Kate’s ring finger. The Duchess now wears Princess Diana's blue sapphire white gold ring as her engagement ring. 10. Millions of people watched the wedding“Wedding of the Century” was watched live by millions of people. According to several sources, 2 billion people watched the celebration live. 23 million spectators admired the beautiful ceremony in the USA.We wish the young royal family to be in love and happy, not only “for the record” and the ubiquitous paparazzi, but also outside the doors of their royal residence. On April 29, 2011, Prince William and Kate Middleton got married in London, whose engagement was officially announced by the royal court on November 16, 2010. RIA Novosti correspondent in the UK Alexander Smotrov conducted a tweet report about the wedding ceremony from London. 17:38 I can't help but repost the PA picture of the main king cake # RoyalWedding of 17 tiers! http://bit.ly/ipo8MI 17:33 People in crowns, multi-colored wigs, with flags and painted faces continue to celebrate the rest of the day off in honor of # RoyalWedding 16:41 It’s a pity that the British monarchy came up with the idea of diluting its blue blood with the hot red blood of the common people so late for the health of its offspring. 16:37 The press center applauds and boos William and Catherine's kiss after # RoyalWedding http://twitpic.com/4qyfie 16:34 Seven Royal Air Force planes flew over the palace and the fountain of the Victoria Monument, where the most desperate spectators are already swimming # RoyalWedding 16:30 After standing and thinking, they kissed a second time :) # RoyalWedding 16:27 We went out, went out onto the balcony! # RoyalWedding Surprisedly pointing fingers at the sea of people below 16:16 And it would also be interesting to know about the couple’s first visit to Russia, of course.

For the wedding of Prince William's grandparents, Queen Elizabeth II and Duke of Edinburgh, Philip, they received more than 2,500 gifts, including 76 handkerchiefs, 30 scarves, 148 pairs of stockings and 16 nightgowns. However, there was also a special gift - lace woven by Mahatma Gandhi. Prince William's parents, Princess Diana and Prince Charles, received 4,000 gifts for their wedding. The newlyweds received 20 silver dishes from the Australian government, and sapphire jewelry from the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia. And the New Zealand government gave Charles and Diana a practical gift - a carpet. 15:29 One of the spectators in front of Buckingham Palace brought # RoyalWedding the flag of Georgia and it constantly flashes in the frame of the live broadcast A procession of five carriages with the newly-made husband and wife, as well as their relatives, will proceed through the central streets of London to Buckingham Palace.

The bookmakers' clients correctly managed to "guess" the wedding location - Westminster Abbey, but were mistaken with the date - the most likely month was July. The wedding date of Prince William and Kate Middleton - April 29, 2011 - became known in November last year. April 29 has been declared a national holiday. 14:43
William and Kate themselves wrote one of the prayers for their wedding # RoyalWedding By the way, none of the weddings of high-ranking members of the British royal family in the post-war period fell on a Friday.

The Queen, as the bookmakers predicted, is dressed in a yellow suit and a # RoyalWedding 13:40 Duchess Camilla wore # RoyalWedding champagne dress and duck egg coat (dirty blue) Westminster Abbey was often the site of royal weddings. It was in this cathedral in central London that William's grandparents, Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip, as well as his uncle, Prince Andrew, and aunt, Princess Anne, were married. The wedding of Prince William's parents, Prince Charles and Princess Diana, took place at St. Paul's Cathedral. To ensure that the wedding ceremony begins on time and without surprises, the bride and groom (separately), as well as other members of the royal family, will arrive at Westminster Abbey by car. 13:15 Princes William and Harry travel to the Abbey on # RoyalWedding, the crowd is going wild 13:08 David Cameron in a tailcoat and his wife Samantha in an emerald green dress and orange scarf walk through the Abbey as if they were themselves # RoyalWedding Prince William and his fiancée Catherine Middleton opted for their wedding guests to donate money to charity instead of buying expensive gifts. The couple will accept gifts from close family members, but other guests are encouraged to make confidential donations to charities. 12:55 Cameron will give Kate and William photographs of the Island of Anglesey, and Boris Johnson - guess what? of course a tandem bike!!! # Millions of people around the world waited with bated breath: Prince of Wales William and Kate Middleton became husband and wife. According to preliminary estimates, two billion people watched their wedding ceremony. Such a spectacle for Great Britain - and the whole world! - have not been seen since 1981, since the wedding of Prince Charles and Diana Spencer. The night before the ceremony, 28-year-old Prince William spent at the Clarence House residence with his younger brother Prince Harry, father Prince Charles and his wife, Duchess of Cornwall Camilla. The bride, 29-year-old Kate Middleton, along with her parents and sister, stayed at the five-star Goring Hotel in central London. In the morning, from Clarence House and the Goring Hotel, the bride and groom - as well as their relatives - went to Westminster Abbey in a strictly defined order at intervals of several minutes. Cars (Kate and her father Michael Middleton, for example, were driving a rare 1978 Rolls-Royce from the royal garage) drove through the central streets of the British capital, crowded with thousands of excited people. Those who wanted to take the best places along the route of the motorcade became concerned about this issue on Wednesday and lived on the sidewalks in tent cities for two days. There was no place for the slow-witted: about a million tourists arrived in London, plus hundreds of thousands of local residents took to the streets. Don't be surprised by these numbers: Londoners didn't have to miss work, because today is a public holiday in the country.
By the time Princes William and Harry arrived at Westminster Abbey, most of the 1,900 invited guests had already gathered there. Among them were relatives of the bride and groom, members of the British royal house, more than 40 members of royal families from around the world, dozens of heads of state, David and Victoria Beckham, Guy Ritchie, Elton John and David Furnish, William's colleagues, as well as loved ones of the British military who died in Afghanistan.
The last to arrive at the Abbey was Kate Middleton, who, by the way, will need to be called Princess Catherine from today. When she got out of the car, the main intrigue was finally revealed: the world saw the bride’s wedding dress. Kate actively participated in the design of this Alexander McQueen dress, created by Sarah Burton. The toilet has a classic silhouette, a full skirt, and a chic long train. The bride wore a 1936 Cartier diamond tiara, topped with a handmade lace veil. In her hands she held a lovely bouquet of lilies of the valley.
The ceremony itself lasted just over an hour. After this, the prince and princess boarded a luxurious carriage drawn by four white horses and went to Buckingham Palace. They were followed by several more carriages carrying Queen Elizabeth II and the Duke of Edinburgh and the family of the new princess.
650 guests of the ceremony also headed to the palace - a grand reception awaited them. But before sitting down at the head of the festive table, Prince William and his wife traditionally appeared on the balcony of Buckingham Palace and greeted journalists and onlookers. A few days earlier, a press camp had been set up not far from the palace, housing eight thousand (!) representatives of the British and world media. The appearance of Kate and William on the balcony, the tender kiss of the young couple and the ensuing air parade truly became the culmination of today's day, which has already gone down in history. And although about 70 million pounds sterling was spent on the wedding (part of the funds were allocated from the state budget, the rest of the expenses were covered by the relatives of the young couple), when you look at the happy smiles of William and Kate, money is the last thing you want to think about. Congratulations to the Prince and Princess, who have been working towards this union for over eight years. We wish them to be like in a fairy tale! - lived happily ever after.
