Three royal weddings have marked the United Kingdom history during the past few decades. Each of them appears so similar to the others, but in fact is so different when compared with the others ones. The main details related with the British royal tradition were presented in each of the royal weddings, but all the other details related with the bride and groom look, the wedding celebration details and the official portraits are a bit different from each other when compared closely.
The first wedding, the wedding of Prince Charles, Prince of Wales and Lady Diana Spencer took place on Wednesday 29 July 1981 at St Paul’s Cathedral in London, United Kingdom. The groom was the heir to the British throne, and the bride was a member of the Spencer family. The wedding ceremony was a national holiday in the United Kingdom. There was a long list of guests invited to the wedding, including included many members of royal families from across the world, republican heads of state, and members of the bride’s and groom’s families. After the wedding the couple made the traditional appearance on the balcony of the Buckingham Palace.
The second one, took place on 29 April 2011 at Westminster Abbey in London, United Kingdom. Prince William, second in the line of succession to the British throne and his wife Catherine Middleton said the faithful YES in front of so many guests that attended the party including the bride’s and groom’s families, as well as members of foreign royal dynasties, diplomats, and the couple’s chosen personal guests. After the wedding ceremony, as the tradition says, they made the traditional appearance on the balcony of the Buckingham Palace.
And the last one, that took place on 19 May 2018 in St George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle in the United Kingdom, was the happiest moment in the life of Price Harry, the second son of Prince Charles and Princess Diana and his wife Meghan Markle, an actress from America. The morning before the wedding they were given the titles Duke and Duchess of Sussex by the Queen Elizabeth.
