I love Princess Beatrice’s choice of her Grandma’s gown. It was like “I need a wedding gown. Ooh! Let’s go shopping in Grandma’s closet”. 😅 So sweet.
The rumour was that designers were distancing themselves from her because of her father, and the Queen was like, You don't want to dress my granddaughter? Let me show you all! I thought Beatrice looked lovely.
@@guestguest2030 Oh dear. With her husband, Edo, she’s ever increasingly glowing. And motherhood too I’m sure.
@@guestguest2030. It was also during the Covid lockdowns and the designer s couldn’t leave their house for fittings. I think the in-house alterations person did the adjustments. The queen looked absolutely thrilled at that wedding.
@@sidneybales9062 Yes, it was Angela Kelly who put it all together. Beatrice looked lovely!
I think Beatrice's dress was my favorite. In the sense of how the dress itself looks and how insanely flattering it was on Beatrice, but the history behind the dress, etc.
Then again I am a sucker for the stories about the past history of things.
In fact, the only time I had an actual wedding I wore my grooms grandmother's dress (not a single alteration necessary) & his wonderful grandfather walked me down the aisle. Such lovely people.
I'm glad that my crap marriage lasted long enough that at least his grandparents didn't see the end 😔.
Everything about Meghan's wedding felt like a mockery. A dress that didn't fit, the blinding whiteness of it, the over-the-top veil, the ridiculous preacher (a sermon about slavery at a wedding?), that absurd choir, all of it. Just like her mockery of the queen in that docuseries where she makes the bow.
She has no connection to her black side but went full Color Purple for her wedding. Ridiculous
Agreed 👍🏽.
I agree with you, but, in fairness, the king
In fairness the king b helped pick the choir
I agree!
Catherine’s wedding dress was the best Royal Wedding dress ever. Princess Eugenie was a beautiful dress too, showing her scoliosis scar. I’m glad she didn’t go for a veil. Princess Beatrice paid the most amazing tribute to her Grandmother, especially during the pandemic. Perfect.
I have to go with Meghan‘s wedding gown, I loved her gown. It was just elegant and gorgeous. Along with the veil and tiara
I loved that Pippa’s dress was an extension of Catherine’s train.
Catherine's dress was so unflattering in the bust line. Too pointy boobs and lace detail did not show tell on camera!!!
A veil for a second marriage seems too much. The entire event was too much!
Meghan’s dress had too heavy a fabric and was poorly fitted. The veil was ridiculous, especially for a second wedding. If she was going for a minimalist vibe she blew it.
Yes, I remember everyone fawning over the veil, but the dress didn’t do it justice. It just looked like a generic oversized thin gauze veil from a distance. It does look incredible on display though.
Her ugly wedding look is actually what prompted me to google my way into the infamous Meghan Markle iceberg. I just wanted an explanation as to why such a pretty princess was sent out in something so abysmal. 😂
All the copycat and inspiration looks that followed Meghan’s wedding wear looked so much better then the original. They took her intended “concept” and improved it. That’s rather unusual lol. I’ve never seen a case where the original is actually the botched version!
3rd wedding. her first was annulled after 2 yrs. second was trevor and they divorced after 2 yrs. harry is her 3 marriage so definitely ridiculous to be wearing this huge dress and veil. the dress was very heavy you're right, poorly fitted, completely bad design for her body style. the boat neck was horrendous, her waist got lost and if u look at many pics of them outside the veil is much whiter than the dress so doesn't even look like it matches. she cannot dress well to save her life always looked badly fitted and very messy and completely wrong choices.
@@shelleyg1836 The Queen did not like the Veil for second/third wedding. And wasn't impressed that it was white.
@@shelleyg1836Sh's on multiple religious conversions too. Smeg converted from Roman Catholicism to Judaism to marry Trevor, then became Anglican to marry unhappy Hazbeen the ex-royal.
@@shelleyg1836 And her hair! All the fuss to have the tiara for her to use to see what they would do with her hair, she is just a mess.
I didn’t know the Middletons paid for Kate’s gown! I love that they did that, very classy move. ❤
Very much so but honestly why did it need to cost $250,000? That's utterly ridiculous.
@@shelleyg1836Keep in mind, the embroidery was hand done in the UK, by seamstresses that make a living wage. A mass-produced, made in China, would have been much cheaper, but that would not have been appropriate.
@@StrawberryShortcake12335 true that kind of detailed work would be expensive
I love the fact that they also had her earrings made as a wedding gift. They had earrings made to match the style of the crown that she borrowed from the Queen for the wedding.
@@deenoruve1542 I didn't know that either. That's awesome seems they raised their kids well.
You are 100% right about Meghan's dress. Even the tiara didn't fit with the ill fitted modern dress and the veil is a different shade of white.
So funny bc the only thing I liked about her outfit that day was the tiara
Megan looked like she'd borrowed one of the net curtains from the Buckingham Palace windows.
The dress didn’t fit her! And, she just has really bad taste in all of her clothing.
@annkynaston3605 Looks like something she made in Home Ec.when she was 12 yo. 😂
True. The whites were different shades of white. The dress was a blinding white that didn't fit at ALL, and the veil was more like an eggshell, and it flew everywhere, was way too long. The veil and dress didn't mesh well together at all. Two completely different looks that she put together. Plus, then her hair was a mess. That's the first thing I saw when she got out of the car. I said, "Why didn't she get her hair done"? It was sticking out all over the place. Not sure why she didn't GET her hair done by someone else? She needed some height to her hair, and volume. I liked the tiara, but that too didn't seem to fit well. She didn't wear the entire outfit very well. Not sure why she was so stubborn about not asking for help and not wanting input from experts. That was and still is ridiculously juvenile and insecure.
Meghan was told Royal Protocol called for a colored fabric for a divorced bride. The Queen suggested a pale blue and NO VEIL.
You can see how upset HMTQ was when Meghan entered the chapel.
Meghan wanted St. George’s Chapel sprayed with fragrance, when told no, she wanted air fresheners hung up. When told no, she demanded a red carpet… again told no, then we got into the demands for her choice of tiara.
The Queen’s assistants were trying to explain to her that brides marrying into the line of succession don’t wear colored stones.
St. George’s Chapel is the private church of the Monarch. HMTQ went there to pray nearly every morning she was in residence.
So, if you don’t see a smile on the faces of the Royal Family, they were worn out with battles from Meghan and Harry.
The BRF was most likely starting to know the real Markle by the time of the wedding, and it's difficult to see how that could make anyone too pleased with the situation.
She thought that the chapel smelled old. Well, really? It's 500 years old, you dingbat.
Markle's dress looked to me like the tailoring staff were so tired of her that they let the dress look like that. It was the most unflattering dress I've ever seen. Her hair was atrocious, and the white color for a 2nd wedding was laughable. The veil made no sense either.
I also heard that the tiara was a facsimile. Not real at all.
@@Shakespearelover1717 well, she was and is known for losing or forgetting things. Who wants to lend someone like that real jewels.
3 rd wedding actually. her first was annulled after 2 yrs. second was trevor who she divorced after 2 yrs. harry is her 3rd. and yup that wedding dress was the worst one i think i've ever seen. soooo badly fitted and that boat neck is horrible even the reception dress wasn't good in my opinion.
@@Shakespearelover1717No. It was the real one, but so much drama around it. Especially the hairdresser fiasco. Did you know Catherine went and purchased a cheap plastic tiara for her hairdresser to practice the hair with? And her hair looked flawless!
True. When I turned on the Tv and saw Meghans dress the day of the wedding, it was a huge let down. The boat neck made the dress look so casual. And the entire dress just didnt FIT her. The entire dress was plain, just a straight, white plain TUBE of a dress.
I though it looked like a roll of toilet paper. It just had NO "Wow" effect at all. For all that money, she could have had a spectacular dress, but this was what SHE wanted. Hmmmm. And, her taste in fashion hasn't improved since. So strange.......
You probably know, but just in case, I had read at the time that part of the reason Eugenie chose that neckline/back is that it showed her scoliosis scars. She wanted to normalize the scars and not hide them.
❤ I loved it the most before that fact, but it’s such a nice cherry-on-top thing to know. Lovely message. ❤
I remember hearig that at the time. She wanted to show you should not be ashamed of your scars. She and Jack made sucha a cute coup!e and the tiara was beautiful. (What Meghan wanted, Meghan didn't get!) I still love Catherine's gown the best. It was perfect for a royal wedding of the future Queen. There are prettier gowns but that was perfect for the occasion.
I like hers the best from the back but not as much as others from the front.
@@feonaarabellaparaiso1786 I love it, too, and its almost architectural vibe! Lace is beautiful but give me clean, sweeping lines all day. I love 50's cocktail gowns with a similar aesthetic. 😊
I also heard she invited the medical team that performed the surgery on her back to her wedding.
Diana's dress was a Disney princess dress. Unfortunately, it looked like the dress was wearing her, rather than the other way around. She certainly learned a lot about fashion and especially what looked good on her, soon after.
True but that was the style back in 1981
Her face and dress was alll very beige
I think the long veil was just “Look at meeeee, it’s like Diana’s!” Her dress was hideous! Even a plain dress could look good, but number one, it must FIT!
Catherine’s dress was stunning! It gave me Princess Grace vibes. So classic and beautiful!
If you were referring to Meghan’s dress, I think you’re dead wrong, her wedding gown was perfect. It was just stunning and gorgeous and fit her body perfectly. And I really liked her veal, it might’ve been a bit too long, but it complemented her gorgeous gown along with the tiara. People need to stop trashing on Meghan.
Most of it is jealousy
@@animaljustice7774 someone blinding her eyes to good design
Actually, Megan's dress looked better on the mannequin than it did on her.
Catherine wins.
All day every day.
Everything. She wins everything. Sheer perfection. I remember being super excited to see MM get out of her car - bkz when Catherine married William it was just so stunning seeing the first look of her dress. Then MM barreled her way out of the car and gave boatneck bedsheets. 😳. So awful, and dont even get me started on her hair.
Eh, personally, I'd give the wedding dress win to Eugenie
Simply, perfectly put.
The Princess of Wales wins every day.
I watched harrys wedding and was speechless when i saw the pure white ill fitting dress with the hideous train..and the ceremony itself was hilarious, no seriousness and only her mother there with loads of strangers it was ridiculous
Agreed. I kept watching, not to see Harry and the mess but to watch the faces of the family. Some of them had a hard time keeping a straight face. I did feel sorry for Harry then. I don't think he knew what he was getting into. Now he is complicit in all that happened.
Everyone except the Queen seemed to be suppressing the snicker.
I remember reading that they just invited A-list stars that they didn't even know. Reese Witherspoon apparently received an invite and she said she didn't go because she'd never met them or knew them.
100%
No one will ever surpass the Princess of Wales wedding gown for me…Princess Beatrice looked beautiful and the gesture of using one of her grandmothers gowns is so touching and meaningful but Princess Eugenie blew me away. That’s the best she’s ever looked. Her gown initially didn’t wow me but the more I see it the more I like it. The back is divine. And her tiara was my favorite of any royal bride, ever. It’s absolutely stunning. All 3 of them looked perfect because they were true to themselves and were genuine. They weren’t just playing dress up with designer clothes like Migraine was….
Eugenie's gown was almost identical to Michelle Obama's gown.
Shows that it is a very elegant and timeless silhouette
My instant reaction when we first saw Catherine's dress was 'Oh, now that's just lovely That's perfect' . My reaction to Meghan's dress was just 'Oh.'
What struck me is that Catherine had respect for her tradition. She considered the Queen's feelings in her choices. Skidmarkles dress and look was roll out of bed let's get this wedding done and over with. And smeg wearing a long veil for her 3rd wedding was ridiculous and the way she bullied Princess Charlotte at the dress fittings is despicable
What about her telling Oprah that they had actually been married three days beforehand, and the fabulous £32m wedding was “just a spectacle”? Of course this turned out to be a lie, but the fact that she would say such a spiteful stupid thing finished her in my book forever.
I have read that the Queen was not pleased that, as a divorcee, MM wore white and had a veil. It was against custom and protocol (2 words MM never understood).
@@LynetteMcGrath So true.
Lol Skidmarkle 🤣 I love it!
And she wore white. 🤦🏻♀️
Beatrice's wedding and wedding dress she wore is absolutely my favourite, followed by Catherine's. I was truly disgusted at Meghan's veil, it was even longer than the Queens at her Coronation, and she wore virginal white as a divorcee.The look on the Queen's face was classic, it was not her happy face.
Literally my thoughts exactly
Even Wallis Simpson had the brains to not wear white at her intimate wedding and she was divorced twice
Nutmeg’s wedding was so tacky. I feel sorry that Uk taxpayers paid for it.
Meghan looked like Olive Oyl in a sack.
My favorite is Beatrice’s dress bc it was so sentimental, and so beautiful in its original form when the Queen wore it and in its updated form with puff sleeves. Next of course would be Catherine’s wedding gown which was perfect in every way for the occasion and her frame. Eugenie purposely drew attention to her back so as not to hide her scoliosis surgery scar which I thought was great. I didn’t love Meghan’s wedding gown - it did nothing for her figure, but with better tailoring it would’ve been fine. You’re right about the veil but I think she wanted something symbolic (flowers?) embroidered so OK. I did like her reception dress. I think Meghan has a certain image of herself in her mind when choosing her outfits and achieving that image outweighs selecting clothing that actually fit or flatter and she may be thinking just because something is a high fashion designer label it must be right, when often it’s not.
Hi Brit here. The veil took 500 hours to create. It was hand embroidered with the national flowers of the 53 Commonwealth countries and poppies to represent California. I think it was beautiful (but the dress hideous) but I believe the Queen questioned why Markle was getting married in white!. Markle did not respect the generosity of the RF, (attention given to her choices and cost of her wedding) whilst initially welcomed here with open arms. The ongoing disrespect, lies and cruel spite of the Sussex's makes me want to weep especially for the late Queen Elizabeth.
I didn't realize her veil was that long?! That's just insane! She's insane! She is one of those people who can make others feel physically sick. I almost can't stomach seeing her face anymore.
the eyes🫣
When I was in my early 20s, I had an English boyfriend, and we got up at 5am to watch the wedding of Prince Charles and Lady Di. It was absolutely mesmerizing. The wedding of Prince William and Catherine was toned down by comparison. It did not have the same level of drama. Thinking about it later, I realized that, in some way, it was a message about their future together: There will be no drama.
When Prince Charles got married to Diana he was heir to the throne. Prince William was just the son of the heir to the throne. That is the reason it was less flamboyant.
The wedding of Charles and Diana was a much bigger event because he was Prince of Wales
I was a 13 y/o kid when Charles and Lady Diana were wed, I remember looking at her dress and thinking wow, that dress is an absolute wrinkle bombed mess. My mom would have told me to wear something else, it was too wrinkled to be seen out in. But Lady Diana herself looked just gorgeous.
I just wanted Diana to be happy and find true love. She deserved it. I think she loved that Dr., but he liked privacy and knew with Diana he’d lose that. It’s very sad.
Catherine’s wedding gown is very similar to Grace Kelly’s wedding dress from the 1950’s. Very classic and gorgeous. Catherine is just beautiful.
Actually, l loved Pippas' Gown. Her Bridesmaids dress was a disaster. But that Wedding Gown was devine!
That the first thing which popped into my head as well. Princess Grace.
Reusing a gown of QE2 was such a perfect choice in my opinion. It’s my favourite of the gowns because it’s so beautiful but also pretty understated for a royal gown.
For me Fergie's wedding dress was the best. I just loved it. She has no fashion sense, but she was a lovely bride and her dress was beautiful. xxxx
I think Beatrice has gotten much better at her fashion sense. I also loved Eugenies dress❤
Fit her like a glove... underrated sadly
I agree. And, Sarah doesn't always get mentioned in the best of royal brides.
Zara Phillips and Autumn Phillips both had gorgeous wedding looks, too.
Fergie's gown is never mentioned but I've always liked hers the best.
I am 100% convinced that she made the designers angry. They got to the point where she was so rude and nasty to everyone, they not only didn't care if her dress fit, they made sure that it didn't! And, no, the veil was all wrong for the dress! (Of course!) She has the absolute WORST taste, ever! She is the queen and of "F around and find out!"
While I love Catherine's gown, I still think my favorite is Beatrice's re-use of her grandmother's vintage gown! So beautiful! And, wow! They both looked absolutely stunning in it! Talk about figure flattering!!😮
I loved the whole Beatrice Wedding, it was lovely
After Katherine stepped out in her wedding dress everyone wanted their gowns to look like Katherine’s. I’d watch wedding gown shows where women across the western world wanted a Katherine inspired gown. I don’t ever remember women asking for gowns that were inspired by Megan’s look. My wedding gown looked better than hers
And it was probably alot cheaper, too.
Crazy how Meghan can spend lots of money and still look a mess.
*Catherine
My dress was $400 and it looked 10x better.
Sarah Fergusons' wedding dress is the winner for me. Covered in beautiful embroidery and fitting perfectly.
To To much talk, not necessary to give EVERY DETAIL. Way to much Sorry
Please take the time to listen to yourself. You ALMOST don't take a breath. So annoying 🤨
The dressmakers / fitters obviously were SICK of her 🤷♀️the Queen told her NO brilliant white & NO veil 🤷♀️she ignored the Queen 🤬🇬🇧
Not just ignored, but delighted in SHOWING the Queen that she had.
I could never get past the fact that Meghan’s dress needed to be altered.
Me either. I loved her then and was shocked.
… and the messy hair
I cold never get past the fact that it was also just so blah.
Well she would go to a Paris fashion house. Catherine had her dress made in Britain, so it was easy to arrange fittings. Neither Meg’s dress or any of the bridesmaids’ dresses fitted when they arrived.
Meghan changed her mind with several dresses, until she ran out of time for a decent alteration. But somehow she looks sloppy in everything she chooses.
It is not a rumour, it is a rule: RF members always wear unpretentious and already known outfits to weddings in order not to outshine the bride 😊
Looking at it now, Meghan's dress reminds me of window curtains. It's like she rolled around in a pile of curtains and came out with a dress.
100% right! Princess Katherine dress was and will always be the best! she gave it life and luxury! she turn anything to she touches to Gold! God Bless her and her prince!
Catherine's dress reminds me of the one worn by Grace Kelly when she married the Prince of Monaco. The style and fit of the bodice was very similar. As stated in another comment, it would be interesting if you looked at previous royal wedding dresses from the last century, including this one.
Yes, it has the same elegance.
It was said that Catherine's dress was inspired by Grace Kelley's and Princess Margaret's gowns.
@@westzed23- Yes. I read that she modeled her dress after Princess Grace’s wedding dress.
@@JulieSkinner777 The top of her dress was very similar to Grace Kelly's. Since the bottom was different from her's I thought that was wear she followed Princess Margaret's dress, or perhaps the train or back. I couldn't find a good photo of the back of Princess Margaret's to see.
I lived grace kelly dress
I think the Queen requested Megan not wear a veil. So... of course it had to be ridiculously long to put the Queen in her place. What Megan wants...and so on. Bottom line, Catherine for the win.
Disgusting. 😖
Most definitely. Any suggestions taken as an insult so has to get back at them. She's absolutely the most vile creature.
I'd have loved for the queen to have snatched it of her head. A shitty dress for a shitty person
She was also told not to wear white...so she did. The Queen looked like she wanted to gag when she saw the white dress and veil.
Meghan seems to like to wear things she's been told not to. Don't show your shoulders, check, wear red white or blue at the commonwealth service, wore green hornet dress-check, don't match the color of your dress to your husband's uniform at the military thing they attended before leaving Britain, she wore the same color- check. All this is like giving them the middle finger...for what? Welcoming her to the family?
My favorite is a tie between Kate’s gown and the bridesmaid’s gown that Pippa wore for Kate’s wedding. By far they’re both the most flattering, elegant, classy and gorgeous!!
Pippas dress is my favorite
I have always disliked Princess Diana’s wedding dress. The color, the style, the size. It was awful and didn’t fit her well at all. From the neck up, she was stunning though. Princess Eugenie’s dress was such a thoughtful, economical choice. She looked very princessy in it!! I just thought she wore the wrong tiara for the dress. Princess Catherine’s dress will forever be iconic. Classic, perfectly tailored, and perfectly appropriate for the future Queen consort. Meghan’s dress could’ve been pretty with a softer fabric and better tailoring. I still don’t love the style, but you can’t dress for everyone. I also thought the color was a bit inappropriate. Few people can wear stark white (my daughter’s dress was a subtle blush), but it did her no favors for her coloring. Especially for her third marriage. The veil was the worst of her ensemble because it felt like she was mimicking Princess Diana in a way. So over-the-top and unnecessarily gauche (and yes, I felt that way about PD’s too!). A simple veil (without a blusher) that fell just past the waist would’ve been more appropriate. A neat updo would’ve helped too.
I am not a very traditional person by any means, and I was stunned that Megan wore a stark white dress and had a Cathedral length veil. I think this is when her true colours came out. It reminded me of when Prince Eric almost married Usula in the Little Mermaid. The dress, her hair, the whole vibe was Evil Sea Witch. All that was missing was Megan kicking a dog
Yessss! Her expression, even her makeup in the photos during the wedding remind me of Ursula! 😂 Especially the one when they're coming out of the church. Ironically, it was only after her Oprah interview with her silly "Little Mermaid" metaphor that drove home that fact! She thot she was Arielle, but people really saw Ursula in disguise. 😁
Same here. Comp!etely inappropriate and very much in character, hair messy, dress wrinkled and veil......ridiculous for a second or third marriage to the spare, not the heir. There was no reason for it to be such a spectac!e even if it was Harry's first trip down the aisle.. She wanted the cameras and the attention to pave her way to Hollywood. Didn't work as she showed her true colors to soon.
You nailed it! 😂
I swear she had to be going for Ursula vibes with that center part and veil look - the resemblance is uncanny!!!
did not kick a dog but slapped the hand of a man helping her out of the carriage, not on Meggy
Oh my stars! When you were going through that laundry list of all that was wrong with Meghan’s wedding dress - wrinkles, bunches, too tight in places, too loose in places - you were describing almost every garment the woman has worn. At least she knows what she likes …
It's a multi-millions wedding. Wearing designer and couture is not the same as shopping at Shein.
OMG and the state of her HAIR to crown it all - to me, it looked like it needed washing never mind brushing and styling. Just awful - from head to toe.
And fix her hair.
😂😂😂
Yes!!
Pippa’s dress….sooooo beautiful. She did look lovely, just lovely…
The highlight of the royal weddings is bride's arrival and seeing the wedding dress for the first time. Catherine's was so beautiful! The Jordanian wedding ceremony dress shows how stunning simplicity can be. Both Diana's and MM's were disappointing for different reasons. Diana's was of the time and her age - she was barely out of her teens, and they were really selling the 'fairy tale princess' angle in the press. MM's was ill-fitting but also BORING as hell. It looked like a bed sheet. The reception dress was batter, but not the best choice for someone with shoulders like a linebacker.
That reception dress made mm look like she was pointing her shoulders forward, the way a cartoon bulldog walks around.
That made me laugh...linebacker!
Completely agree with you Diana's dress. She was so very young co pared with the other ladies here and hadn't learned what her own style was. I think she got caught up in the grandeur of the event. Although I saw it on display at Althorp and have to say it was very beautiful in reality.
@@bexp436
Diana's horrible wedding gown was a disaster. It was so hideous because she was so vain and impetuous. She really was out of her league
Catherine's best accessory is her genuine smile.
I agree with everything you said. Catherine's dress was beautiful and perfect for her and the occasion.
Dear Beebs, just take your dress to a tailor or a dressmaker and get it sized down. You look lovely, stop apologizing, you have nothing to apologize for. Have a fantastic day.
When I was a child most homes in Wales had lace curtains.
Meg's wedding dress had all the shape and contours of a toilet roll and the vail looked like my dear old Nan's lace curtains stitched together. She was so determined to disregard every stipulation made by our late Queen that she ended up looking like a dogs dinner. (The expression on Her Majesty's face said it all. 'We are not amused.')
I heard that the Queen commented that she couldn't understand why Meghan needed a veil in the first place...what a BURN! 😂
Veil was completely wrong on many levels….civil ceremony would have been suitable considering 3rd wedding at twice Princess Diana’s age…Diane was19..Meggy was already 40…0000ps..Took so many liberties..walking down the aisle by “herself”…totally planned. She was very. Annoyed when Prince Charles stepped up to walk with her…just let her “bouquet” hang…….She was no “”Maria”” from Sound of Music.🫣😡😨🥵😱😱
Catherine is timeless class
Someone commented that at the time we all swooned over the Sussex dress - not so. All the people I watched the wedding with were underwhelmed and rather disappointed.
When I first saw MM in that dress I said, Ye gads, why on Earth did she wear a sack dress? My guy friend laughed at me and said, "Let the $hit show begin." I didn't know that he could tell the future.
Like a tic-tac! That made me laugh out loud
Catherine’s dress was so beautiful and it is also very French chic , as well as a tribute to the British Royal family. You’re right, about the strapless wedding dress being the modern go-to for most brides today. Meg looked as if she took a plain white tablecloth and cut it and sewed it herself.
at least she didn't accessorize it with a belt...
Both of Megan’s dresses looked too big for her. Her actual wedding dress looked as if she’d seen it on the rail and said, “That’ll do”. And never tried it on.
@@savannahsmiles1797 and at least someone had the good sense to build a bra in vs that hideous omnipresent strapless bra she’s so fond of, tackily showing through everything she wears
Catherine's dress is stunning I wished I had a dress like that when I got married. ❤
First sight of Meg's dress- 'Oh, right, different neckline'..Closely followed by 'Wht doesn't it fit ??' I have friends who got married in off-the-peg dresses, or in gowns worn by their mothers- but they had them altered to fit- even did it themselves in one case. How can anyone who has so much money to spend on a look end up looking as though she'd bought the dress yesterday, not tried it on but just chucked it on that morning ???
Beatrice had the revealing back because of her scars. She had scoliosis (I think) and she wanted to let people know there was no shame in scars. What a girl. ❤️🇬🇧
Catherine, The Princess of Wales’ dress will always be my favorite, followed by Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth’s wedding dress. Beatrice and Eugenie both were very beautiful. You are spot on about Meghan’s veil. The dress was absolutely boring.
Princess Anne’s dress was lovely too and so well suited to her style and personality.
@@annmariewalker3879I remember being confused by the bottom of the sleeves, but they were very unusual and I really liked them. We were able to stay up late in NZ to watch the wedding.

Princess Margarets dress was Beautiful,so so pretty x
I loved Catherine's & Beatrice's gowns; timeless chic & beauty. Eugenie's & Pippa's were also very nice. At first I was a bit let down that Eugenie didn't have a veil but in hindsight, she made the perfect choice. That tiara was incredible & didn't need a veil, it was a show stopper all on its own. No wonder Smeghan wanted to wear it so badly. Neener neener, you might be marrying #5 in line to the throne, but Queen Elizabeth had already promised that exquisite tiara to her royal born granddaughter by blood, not some LA born middle aged washed up mattress actress who schemed & swindled her way into Harry's trousers.
I heard that the reason why Smeg's dress looked so horrible was because she kept demanding changes constantly, up until the very last moment. She refused to have additional fittings, the last one being months before the big day. She kept throwing fits & wanted changes but didn't bother to show up for a final fitting. Ridiculous, but I'm glad it turned out so badly. She THOUGHT she was Princess Ariel on her wedding day, but in reality she ended up looking like Vanessa/Ursula instead. I also heard that the Queen wanted her to wear a more appropriate color, considering she was already a divorcee. She showed up in that blindingly white dress much to the Queen's surprise & disapproval. The veil was just her trying to cosplay Diana again. She knew she couldn't do a 25 foot train like Diana's dress so she went for an over the top long veil. Something that's reminiscent of Diana's iconic gown, but in her own (non existent) style & delusions of being a modern independent woman. She made a fool of herself for all the world to see - Bravo, well done! 👏😆
Your analysis is spot on w/ each dress. I finally figured out what Beatrice's dress reminds me of and it is the dress Snow White wore in the old movie cartoon. The Queen's made over dress had a story book quality that was lovely and suited Beatrice so well. And the fact that it had belonged to QE would make it forever special and something to, perhaps, hand down to other brides in the family.
I totally agree on Meghan's dress. Totally underwhelming and for $110,000? You can get a better fit at David's Bridal.
Catherine single handedly pulled us out of the generic strapless satin era. 90s-00s was rough for wedding wear.
The romantically timeless revival spared a lot of women from unsightly wedding portraits. I also appreciate that it was rather “modest.” The trend opened up a new wave of classy designs. The classy whimsical wedding looks of this era will go down in history imo.
At that time my mother had a shop that made custom wedding dresses. She came home one day and said,”why does every bride want to look like a hooker. Too much makeup, too much lipstick, dress cut to there, both front and back.” She was something else, my mother.
My cousin was getting married when the strapless look was in full swing. She wanted a more modest look that covered her chest but was striking out. Luckily her mother had saved her wedding gown and with a few minor alterations it fit my cousin perfectly.
You’re so right! I particularly remember a cousin’s wedding during that time where his bride wore a hideous strapless gown. She looked like an overstuffed sausage casing and I felt embarrassed for her. Like no one cared enough to to tell her “this doesn’t work for everyone.”
I got married in 1998 and had a Catherine-ish dress, but with more of a ballgown skirt with organza and fitted up top with long sleeves and detachable train. Everyone else was getting married in A-line strapless dresses (and that's fine). Right now it's mermaid style everywhere. When a close friend got married a few years ago, she had a hard time finding a ballgown style dress, but she did finally find it.
1981-82/ post Charles and Diana's wedding, it was NEAR impossible to find a dress than wasn't a blessed meringue confection. Luckily I found one that only had a 1metre wide hooped petti-skirt under it.
I was star struck by Catherine’s dress, so does my mom. Like you said so well it’s the kind of dress that will remain timeless, I doubt anybody can say that’s an ugly dress. That is the embodiment of the perfect wedding dress imo. As for Meghan, I was also star struck… by the fact her wedding dress wasn’t fitted at all. This is what shocked me the most. The dress was supposed to be a sleek look yet it looked so bulky on her, the skirt especially was so stiff idk it was so frustrating 😂
You are rigth, I saw W&C wedding and as I did not know about the drama of M wedding I has great ecpectations about it, I saw the Dress and I chage the channel 😂😂
@@airamscout7153 right me toooo ! I didn’t know about Meg’s reputation at the time but w/ the way she glanced at the cameras and her overall attitude I couldn’t help but thinking to myself she was so fake. Idk it was breaking the screen.
I think „timeless“ is something that’s generally true for Kates clothes. You never see a picture and can tell „that’s totally that season of 2018 or anything.
My sewing groups raved about it and I was like “are we looking at the same thing?”
@@solidflyer286Maybe direct your sewing group to look at the original design of this dress, worn as a bride by the gorgeous Princess Angela of Liechtenstein in January 2000 (She’s an authentically black person) so they can see how dismally M’s copycat attempt fell short.
Quite a different marriage when the bride isn’t a stalker
The Princess of Wales wedding dress was iconic, and will remain forever a favourite of many, it was understated in a very classy way. Many other Royal brides will have beautiful gowns, however they will not be able to hold a candle to Catherine’s gown.
My favorite video so far! Thanks. Meghan wedding dress was a sign of things to come in every way. Underwhelming - unflattering - ill fitted, etc. And the darling flower girls. How could she want them to have sweaty feet wearing no tights - that was cruel. My favorite dresses are Ms. Beatrice and Ms Pippa.
Thank you 💛
While Catherine, Pippa, and Beatrice all looked lovely, Eugenie's dress is my favorite and I love the touches of green on the flower girls that match the emeralds in her tiara. The Meg looked like an unkempt, creased mess. What a shame.
Meghan was told that she should NOT wear white or have a veil. (this being her second or third marriage. BUT, of course she could NOT follow protocol or instructions. She went ahead and ordered the OTT veil with the Commonwealth flowers embroidered on the edges with the same motif as the Spencer tiara; then sent H to ask if she could wear it. Uncle Charles S said 'no, she's not a Spencer, and not marrying in to the Spencer family' That is why the veil is completely 'out of tune' with the awful dress. Also why HMTQ had that look on her face when she saw M.
If that one's dress looked plain, harsh or hard and solid without interest then it suits her character perfectly
I was always so sorry that Diana’s fashion, especially her wedding dress, was immortalized in the 1980s; hands down the worst decade for fashion. Meghan’s veil looked absolutely ridiculous, and in hindsight was a huge foreshadowing of who she truly was. That thing was almost as long as her ego.
nothings THAT big!
Even in the 80's I thought Diana's wedding dress was awful, it was really badly creased when she stepped out of the car, her veil was 153 yards long and it just looked like a puddle in the official photographs, the ruffle round the neckline was too much with the big puffed sleeves.
@@lynwratten9857 I agree with you. I watched that wedding, and I remember being so disappointed in her dress. It was all dress, no Diana.
NoNeed to throw Princess Diana s gown under. The bus!! Please! those of us lived through Diana era.start to finish..it was HER style..but was not.meant to be appropriate for Anyone else..designers admitted they didnt know about the size of carriage...but to Many of Us..we cheered the absolute opulence if that gowns incredible reveal as she emerged from the carriage..her heavy veiling was her own statement to emphasize how She wasYoung and new to this Royal Family! PS the designers did some of her most exquisite.ball gowns during her marriage..very Royal...and magical..google it if You are.interested!
I am the same age as Diana was so I was 19/20 at the time of her wedding and I remember waiting impatiently to see the gown. I must admit I was veeery disappointed. She simply drowned in the dress. I agree the gown is iconic but could have been less overwhelming. Just my oppinion.
Favorites: 1) Pippa, 2) Catherine. Both were gorgeous! As for MeMe, she looked like she was wearing a toga for the wedding. That reception dress was awful, too. The worst part of the day was that she bullied a LITTLE GIRL! You can see how Charlotte was afraid as she approached the evil one at the altar. Disgraceful!
It’s a tradition of the royal women to recycle an outfit to wear as a wedding guest. So as to not draw attention from the bride as it is “her day”. I think it’s a lovely gesture
No one ever mentions that Catherine's dress had a ribbed skirt. For me that was genius (took my breath away!) and the best part of the many utterly beautiful features of the dress.
meghan's look is what I call "slap-a-doodle". It screams...I want to be chic...look at meeeeeeee and then doesn't have the patience to do the actual work to perfect it. It is consistent with her inconsistent personality, values, and apparently her podcast work ethic. The veil was a nod to Diana; me thinks.
I think Meghan was trying to copy Princess Angela of Lichenstein but she failed miserably.
It was a nod to the commonwealth, beacuse of H roll as presiden of it or somethink, and that vicepresident position created for her
@@airamscout7153 Yes, they were president and vice president of the Commonwealth trust, which is different from the Commonwealth. The Queen, and now Charles, head the Commonwealth.
She would have looked nice in something Audrey Hepburn-inspired.
@@guestguest2030 But the veil should have been MUCH shorter
I think meghan’s was meant to look chic and minimal but it looked like the material was too thick. I agree the veil looked really weird as it was too long. I liked her reception dress. I liked Catherine’s bolero cardigan for her reception and loved her wedding dress. Loved Beatrice’s wedding dress too!
She had the long long veil simply to mimic Diana as she tries to do all the time. Harry thinks she’s Diana reincarnated and now with hindsight we can see the first steps of that she took to keep Harry deluded. She als wanted the ‘look at me, look at me’ . She looks like she has footballers shoulders.
My two favourite royal wedding gowns are Lady Sarah Chatto and Princess Anne’s. Simple, elegant and timeless.
Yes, when I saw Lady Sarah's dress, I didn't know for sure who she was, just some royal bride, but I absolutely loved the horizontal ruching and the square neckline. I thought she looked great.
I hated Diana's wedding dress at the time she wore it; still hate it now.
I had the privilege to be at Buckingham Palace when Catherine’s dress was on displayed. There was an accompanying film on the production of it. It was so interesting.
The seamstresses reported, she kept on changing her mind about the design up to the last moment. End result she looked appalling 🤷♀️🤦♀️ nothing new there then. 😂😂
Sarah, Duchess of York's dress was gorgeous and very much suited her figure.
Meghan’s dress is a total reflection of herself…characterless. I always thought it looked ‘unfinished’; the train looks like the designer just cut it straight across and it still needs to be shaped, there’s no detailing to it at all, it looks like a toile & jars with the veil…it’s a blank canvas, I think like she is probably; and yet also a copy Princess Angela of Lichtenstein, because she has no thoughts of her own 🤷♀️ And to then insist on that veil, which was totally inappropriate, to have the flowers of The Commonwealth on it and then dis The Commonwealth like she did 🙄…I think M even copied Catherine’s evening dress for her wedding to Trevor too!…Whereas the other dresses are thoughful, personal and having meaning and depth - apart from looking beautiful!
I completely forgot how long Megs veil was! It looks so ridiculous I feel bad no one pushed her on it.
Catherine’s dress was beautiful and perfect. Megaliar’s dress looked like an ill fitting shift made out of the old time double knit polyester.
Double-knit polyester! Bingo!
Yes, that's it! Couldn't come up with the description. Heavy, uncomfortable and too warm. Stinky by end of the day!
One thing that needs to be pointed out is how young Diana was. Catherine was 10 years older at the time of her own wedding. Your tastes become (hopefully) more sophisticated as you age.
For me, once Meghan couldn't get the tiara she wanted she could have cared less about the wedding gown.
I had heard that MM wanted a wedding that was more expensive than William and Catherine's. Since she was thwarted with the emerald tiara, a veil that was longer than Diana's. And she wanted the veil embroidered with the Commonwealth flowers like the Queen's. Not an original thought in her head. Wait, the messy hair was her own idea.
Pippa as Kate’s MOH will forever be the all time breathtaking dress/fit. Wow!!
Nice breakdown of the various wedding gown looks. I agree with your assessment.
As a contemporary (in age) of Princess Di, I can attest to owning a Vogue pattern version of her wedding gown in green satin. It was beautiful, but rather voluminous.
MM’s reported behavior leading up to the wedding was so cringe worthy. No one with manners behaves like she did. You don’t have to be in the aristocracy to understand how to act graciously. She has never,then nor now, shown gratitude for anything. Consequently, it’s easy to find fault with almost everything she does.
Absolutely agree with you. Her behavior was totally ridiculous. Harry should have left her at the alter. I don't think anyone would have faulted him after all her bad behavior! Oops...silly me....that was after he lost his mind. I guess that needed to happen after the first date but before his mind was totally gone. What a truly obnoxious person she is.
A wedding gown is not made by the hangers that it hangs from, it is made by the woman it hangs on.
One of my favourite Royal wedding dresses is that of Lady Sarah Chatto. ❤ it’s so elegant and simple but stylish and timeless.
I agree. Loved her whole look - absolutely beautiful
The bridesmaids as well ❤
She is so classic stylish
Absolutely!
Looked too much like underwear for my taste. It looked like she got as far as the shift and corset then said, "enough!"
That is the veil of an Empress. HM wedding was offered far more grandeur than it deserved, based on their place in the line of succession.
and the fact that it was meghan's third wedding. first was annulled after 2 yrs. second divorce after 2 yrs third was harry. surprised it's lastest more than 2 yrs but then she got what she wanted, fame, prestige, status, mansion etc. see how much longer she holds on before she divorces him takes the kids if they even exist and a big fat alimony /child support check.
I agree, especially as this was not her first marriage and the King had to pay for it all.
Absolutely…they were bending over backwards to make her feel accepted. She took and took and took…no shame, no humility…terrible person.
She had been married TWICE before. This was Meghan’s third marriage. First was annulled, but it existed!
Honestly, I thought Meg's dress looked cheap and ill fitting. There was nothing special about it. 🤷
I absolutely loved Catherine's wedding gown and that William wore red was so perfect--it really was a pop of color to balance the attention between the two!
Catherine’s wedding gown is timeless ♥️
Hello! My absolute favorite Royal wedding dress was Princess Beatrice's. It made me gasp when I saw how beautiful the dress was but how beautiful she looked in it. When I found out that it was one of Queen Elizabeth's dresses it warmed my heart even more. The worst Royal wedding dress was Meghan's, it was too big , the veil was too long and the style did nothing to flatter her. I so enjoy your channel, thank-you.
💛
Sorry, Meg. NO WAY should a second time bride wear white. You're not battling ANYONE (e.g., the Queen) over this; you're fighting TRADITION, which is insane.
Beebs, you hit the nail on the head! Meghan's dress (I can't call it a gown) was sooooo different from that veil!!!!
It's not MM's gown and veil that were out of place at that wedding. Rather, it was MM. For someone who was divorced at least once that we know of, such a "spectacle" wedding was totally inappropriate and staged----all for effect. We saw aged mutton masquerading as
spring lamb.
win
The Markle: The veil- the length- screaming cosplay of Diana. Seriously!
I have to admit, I never thought I would love one more than Catherine’s…and then I saw Pippa’s🤦🏼♀️. It was stunning. So I always say that Catherine’s is my favorite truly royal wedding dress and Pippa’s is my favorite “royal-adjacent” wedding dress. I can’t wait to see what little Charlotte wears in 20 years!!
Little Charlotte has excellent fashion role models, from her Mama, Grandmother, and Aunt. She will be stunning!!!
Lady Sarah Chatto, Princess Margaret's daughter, wore the most beautiful wedding dress I've ever seen in my life when she married in 1994. It was absolutely gorgeous and so was she! The bridesmaid's dresses were lovely, as well. By far, Sarah's was my favorite gown ever!
(Googling lady chatto’s dress). 😊
I agree. Stunning!!!!!!
I thought Princess Anne’s wedding dress was beautiful. It had Tudor like sleeves that were so unusual and very different for the time. Princess Margaret’s dress was lovely, with her hair done high with the big tiara circling it.
I have to disagree. Personally out of all of them, I liked Princess Beatrice's wedding dress the most.
Agree, another simple stated but beautiful dress.
Princess Eugenie purposely highlighted the back of her dress as she wanted people to see her surgical scar from an op she had as a child to show people to be proud of their bodies. It was a stunning choice
Meghan's dress was inappropriate for the occasion. The neckline especially was all wrong. Because the Royal Weddings are in the church, and for these churches the shoulders need to be covered, that Meghan's were barely covered is actually quite offensive, and as she was marrying in the Queen's church it was not only an insult to the church but to the Queen.
On the drama around Meghan, well most of it is not surprising, but the most interesting one was on the tiara. There are multiple stories, but the first one I heard was after the tiara had been decided on, and it was that Meghan didn't have an appointment and just turned up demanding the wedding tiara for a 'rehearsal' with her hairdresser, she was told no. I remember a number of people wondering why she didn't do what Catherine's hairdresser did for her wedding hair practices and just buy a cheap plastic tiara to practice with. I think that showed the type of person Meghan was, and it makes many of the stories about her in the lead up to the wedding quite believable.
Oh, and the drama over the bridesmaids was apparently first reported when someone overheard one of the dressmakers telling her friends about it in the pub! Lesson there is twofold, one don't piss off people because they will gossip, and two don't talk about stuff like that in a pub because it can be overheard.
Anyway, this is the first time I have seen your channel, about to go and look at your other videos, this was very good and interesting. Also, I agree with you on your thoughts about the dresses.
Beebs, did you know that the back of Eugenie' s dress was designed to show her scar (or at least not hide it) from her operation as a young girl, to correct her scoliosis. She says "don't be ashamed of your scars." That is a true Princess talking. I believe scoliosis is one of the charities she supports.
Also to be noted, her sister Beatrice not only wore the Queen's gown, but also wore the Queen's own Wedding Tiara. That was such a sign of Granny Approval.
