So many thoughts-
I am surprised by the rather hastily wedding. There was no reason to jump the gun now, they could have waited or, if they wanted to make sure both of her grandparents can attend, switched to a smaller ceremony from the start. I do wonder if there is a reason, why they just now decided to opt for a small wedding. Riding the pregnancy speculation train here. I agree with everyone that said the marriage won’t last. But she will be in good company in her family with a divorce under her belt.
I do believe though, that we would have definitely seen a big wedding just like for her sister if it weren’t for Andrew. He and Sarah really screwed their daughters over with their embarrassing and deprived behaviour. I really feel for them. The mean articles about their looks since they were young teenagers must have taken a toll on them. Some of the criticism came well deserved though. They, especially Beatrice, are not known to be the harfest workers. Their idea of normal life is style miles away from what we would call normal. Eugenie is very involved into her charities which is nice though. But they are also not to be counted on when it’s time for more senior royals. My bet is, they won’t take on much more engagements because they and their spouses won’t want to adhere to the stricter roles and boundaries that come with it.
Look wise: the dress is nice but she should have changed the arms. The whole look isn’t just vintage but really old. The photo could be from another era. I love it but also don’t like it at the same time? Same goes for the veil. It’s a tad to much. Maybe with an up do? Hard to describe.
Love that she got HM wedding tiara. It suits her very well. The Queen must be really happy with her grandchildren (at least with the majority).
One thing though- the comparison of the Queen’s Mimik isn’t holding up. She always looks incredible grumpy sitting in the church. She didn’t look too impressed at Wiliams wedding too. But as soon as they are outside she is all smiles. I will say, she looked incredible critical at the Sussex wedding though, but she did smile afterwards and in the pictures. We don’t have pictures from the service this time but I bet she looked as grumpy as always. Do we have any idea if the Cambridge’s were present? I would love it, Meghan would be fuming. ThankGod there has been no new announcement by them. I really held my breath.
I will say, I don’t get why the wedding had to be on Camilla’s birthday. 24h earlier or later shouldn’t have been a problem. Especially with such a small wedding party. I feel that Camilla still has to play the last fiddle even though she has worked so hard to overcome the bias against her. Well, I hope she is actually not that bothered by stuff like that.
