On October 12, 2018, Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank said "I do" in Windsor. The Queen's granddaughter and daughter of Prince Edward and Sarah Ferguson chose a white dress with long sleeves and a V-neckline at the front and back by designers Peter Pilotto and Christopher de Vos for the ceremony. It consists of a corset, a petticoat, a bodice and a skirt and is made of jacquard silk, cotton and viscose. The intricate weaving on the outer fabric was produced in Como, Italy.

Instead of a veil, the princess wore the Grenville tiara that once belonged to her great-grandmother, the Queen Mum. For good reason: Eugenie chose a design that would not hide the scar on her back. At the age of twelve, the now 28-year-old underwent surgery for her condition scoliosis, a curvature of the spine, and is still an advocate for the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital (RNOH), where she was operated on at the time.

Offizielles Fotos aus dem Königspalast: Meghan Markle im Kreise der Royals — Welcomed into the family: Meghan Markle, now Duchess of Sussex, surrounded by the royals with husband Prince Harry and her mother, Queen Elizabeth II, Prince Charles with Camilla, Duchess Kate, Prince William and the children. London, Europe and certainly the USA were looking forward to the day - on May 19, 2018, a princess dream came true for US actress Meghan Markle as she married Prince Harry. Her official title is now Duchess of Sussex. With her unconventional manner, she is popular with the British people and is becoming increasingly confident in public appearances. While Duchess Catherine and Prince William stand more for a classic modernity with a sense of tradition, Meghan and Harry are the new wild ones. How much rock'n'roll the British royal family can take remains to be seen. But one thing is certain: the two represent a new generation of royals.

Verheiratet: Rachel Meghan Markle ist jetzt die Herzogin von Sussex — Meghan's hair, which she had tied into a loose chignon knot, was adorned with an heirloom alongside the veil: a tiara set with ten diamonds and a detachable brooch. Made in England in 1932, it once belonged to Queen Mary and was on loan from Queen Elizabeth II for Meghan's wedding day - this could be seen as a special gift from the Queen.

Hochzeitskuss von Prinz Harry und Meghan Markle — The extra-long 5-metre veil is beautiful - several hundred hours of handwork are said to have gone into the intricate, delicate embroidery. Duchess Meghan had her veil embroidered with 53 floral motifs, with each flower symbolizing a country of the British Commonwealth. Two other flowers adorned the tulle dream: the Chinese winter flower, which grows in the grounds of Kensington Palace, and the California poppy from Meghan's homeland. The flowers represent Meghan's old and new life.

Eine wunderschöne Braut! Herzogin Meghan und Prinz Harry in der Hochzeitskutsche auf der Fahrt durch Windsor. — On May 19, the secret was revealed: **Duchess Meghan wowed the world with a simple but beautiful dream gown by Givenchy**. This is seen as a statement that she fits in with royal etiquette and does not dance at extra weddings. Thanks to Meghan's radiance, any extravagance would also have been superfluous. But Meghan wouldn't be the stylish Meghan if this dress hadn't been perfectly tailored to her slim figure. The dress was designed by British head designer Clare Waight Keller, who is the first woman to head the French fashion house. The dream gown made of silk is said to have cost around 400,000 euros!

Verlobt: Prinz Harry und Rachel Meghan Markle — Engaged: Prince Harry and Rachel Meghan Markle, what kind of dress will she wear at her wedding on May 19, 2018? Will she follow in the footsteps of her royal predecessors or choose a fancy designer dress? The closely guarded secret has been the subject of much speculation. The US-American has style and looks great in white, as she has already shown several times with her **elegant yet modern outfits**. With casual jeans, elegant coats and traditional fascinators, she also brings a **breath of fresh fashion air to royal formality** in her very own way.

Harry und Meghan – ganz England freut sich auf die Hochzeit — In love, engaged, married - Harry and Meghan got married on May 19, 2018.

Hochzeit von Prinz William und Catherine Middleton — It was THE dream wedding on April 29, 2011 - Prince William, who is considered the secret heir to the throne of Queen Elizabeth II, married his Catherine. After a brief separation, all turned out well in the end. Duchess Kate wore a classic dress that emphasized her delicacy. William and Kate are extremely popular with the British people, but also abroad. They now make many public appearances on behalf of the Queen. After Princess Charlotte and Prince George, baby no. 3 is currently on the way.

Herzogin Kate auf dem Weg zum Traualtar — Kate walked down the aisle beautifully and with a mischievous smile. The train was carried by her sister Pippa, who shot to fame with her appearance ...

Pippa Middleton auf der Hochzeit ihrer Schwester Kate Middleton — ... because the previously unknown little sister of Kate polarized with ...

Pippas Po auf Kates Hochzeit — ... ... with her tight backside in such a way that she almost stole the show from Duchess Kate. Some were thrilled, for others it was a faux pas. Only the two sisters know whether there were any serious words behind the scenes later on!

Hochzeit von Carl Philipe von Schweden und Sofia — Oh, love is beautiful - Prince Carl Philip of Sweden walked his Sofia Hellqvist down the aisle on June 13, 2015. She is also a commoner and had previously earned her living as a lingerie model, among other things. On her big day, Sofia wore a romantic wedding dress with lace and long sleeves. Now all the children (Victoria, Madeleine and Carl Philip) of King Silvia and King Carl Gustav are married.

Hochzeitsfoto von Carl Philip von Sofia — Sofia really is a beautiful bride - Prince Carl Philip had every reason to beam!

Hochzeit von Prinzessin Madeleine und Chris O‘Neill — Two are happy - Princess Madelein married the American banker Chris O'Neill on June 8, 2013. The Swedish princess looked simply stunning in her wedding dress with a lace cream neckline. No wonder her husband kissed her hand so effusively. The couple now have three children and live in London.

Hochzeit von der schwedischen Prinzessin Madeleine und Banker Chris O‘Neill — Princess Madeleine and Chris O'Neill - like Carl Gustav of Sweden and Queen Silvia, the children of the Swedish royal family have also chosen civil partners. Only love counts ...

Hochzeit von Kronprinzessin Victoria von Schweden und Daniel — Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden is the eldest of Carl Gustav and Silvia's three children. On June 19, 2010, she married Daniel, her personal trainer at the time, after a long relationship. They met when Victoria returned from her study trip to the USA in 2000. She signed up at the gym and met Daniel Westling there. Victoria had suffered from severe eating disorders in the past and was therefore under observation. The two became a couple, secretly at first - the rest is history. Victoria and Daniel have two adorable children, Estelle and Oscar.

Hochzeit von Kronprinzessin Victoria von Schweden und Prinz Daniel — One heart and one soul - Crown Princess Victoria and Daniel. The two enjoy great popularity among the people and are preparing for their future roles of Queen and King with flying colors.

Hochzeit König Carl Gustav von Schweden und Silvia Sommerlath — On June 19, 1976, Sweden and Germany were completely over the moon when Silvia Sommerlath, a German citizen, married King Carl Gustav of Sweden. It was a sensation at the time! Today, all of the royal couple's children are married to partners "from the common people". This seems to be the spirit of the times not only in Sweden, as royal families are increasingly marrying into the middle classes. Victoria, Madeleine and Carl Philip can definitely be proud of their mother, because she looked fantastic in her classic, simple dress and loose bun back then.

Hochzeit von Felipe von Spanien und Letizia — On May 22, 2014, Prince Felipe of Spain got hitched - journalist Letizia Ortiz was his chosen one and Spain celebrated a wedding of love. Always very slim, Letizia already looked very fragile in her classic dress at the time. She was later said to have eating disorders due to the pressure in the royal family - the journalist is said to have struggled with the strict etiquette. There have also been recent tensions between Queen Sofia and Letizia, and her relationship with Felipe is also said to be strained. We hope for the best for everyone involved, as the couple also have two daughters, Leonor and Sofía.

Hochzeit von Willem-Alexander der Niederlande und Máxima — Love is ... when two people look as happy as Máxima and King Willem-Alexander. The vivacious Argentinian has brought a lot of life into the Dutch royal family and, incidentally, she has conquered the whole world with her charm. Queen Beatrix officially stepped down on April 30, 2013 and handed over her office to her son, Prince Willem-Alexander, and Máxima. In a televised address, she said: "I am not stepping down because I would find the office difficult, but out of the conviction that the responsibility for our country must now lie in the hands of a new generation". Since her abdication, Beatrix has been a princess again and is just as popular among her compatriots as Willem-Alexander and Máxima. The couple have three girls, Crown Princess Amalia, Princess Alexia and Princess Ariane.

Schöne Braut Königin Máxima — With that radiance, the dress simply has to be simple - the fantastically beautiful bride Máxima enchanted not only King Willem-Alexander on her wedding day, but people all over the world. May your radiant glow always remain with us, dear Máxima!

Hochzeit First Albert von Monaco und Charlene Wittstock — Prince Albert of Monaco finally got married to Charlene Wittstock on July 2, 2011. The former South African swimmer wowed guests at the wedding ceremony with her elegance and grace. The Monegasques had long awaited Albert's wedding, as the dwarf state had lacked glamor since the death of Princess Gracia Patricia - and Charlene had it. Charlene is not only the same type as the former Hollywood star Grace Kelly, she probably also had the same problems at the beginning. The new role didn't seem easy, which is why she often appeared sad and unapproachable in public. Since the birth of her twins, however, the beautiful princess has been smiling more often again at official appearances.

Hochzeit Marie und Mary von Dänemark — The double Lottchen? Marie and Mary of Denmark have a certain resemblance and sometimes you have to look twice at live performances. However, the two princesses looked individually beautiful in their wedding dresses and each showed their own style. But who married whom now? Marie Cavallier from France and Prince Joachim of Denmark tied the knot on May 24, 2008, while Mary Elizabeth Donaldson from Tasmania said yes to Prince Frederik of Denmark on May 14, 2004. Both couples have several children.

Hochzeit von Prinz Charles und Lady Diana — Prince Charles and Lady Diana Spencer tied the knot on July 29, 1981. For the fairytale wedding, Diana wore a dress with a 7.62 m long train, which is still a record. The puffed sleeves were in the style of the time. What began so fabulously was divorced on August 28, 1996. Charles and Diana engaged in a public mud-slinging that was unparalleled in a royal family. The heir to the throne actually always loved Camilla Parker Bowles, his current wife, and Diana consoled herself with affairs. With her unconventional manner and her charity projects, Lady Di outstripped Charles and the royal family in terms of popularity. At the same time, her often self-serving game with the press was polarizing. The cool relationship with the royal family and the Queen culminated in the much too early accidental death of the Princess of Hearts on 31 August 1997: the Queen was heavily criticized by the public for her handling of Lady Di's death. Today, she and the English royal family enjoy great popularity, which is also due to the likeable Princes William and Harry.

Hochzeit von Fürst Rainier III. von Monaco und Gracia Patricia — The fairytale wedding of Prince Rainier III of Monaco and the American actress Grace Kelly took place on April 18, 1956. For the beautiful Grace, henceforth known as Gracia Patricia, it was a dream come true in her exquisite wedding dress. But her marital bliss was clouded, as Grace felt as if she were in a gilded cage. Prince Rainier and etiquette demanded that she give up her former life as an actress and Oscar winner. It came to blows when director Alfred Hitchcock offered her a movie role. Grace had to make a decision - and she did: for a life as Gracia Patricia, her husband and Monaco. Together, they turned the dwarf state into a hotspot for the rich and famous, which still draws on its glamorous past today. Today, son Albert runs the country together with Charlène, while Princess Carolin is (still) married to Guelph Prince Ernst August. Gracia Patricia died in a car accident on September 14, 1982. Her daughter Stephanie, who was also in the car, was largely unharmed. Prince Rainier III has been a broken man ever since and died on April 6, 2005.

Royal bridal fashion: the princesses are as different as the dresses are varied

Duchess Catherine looked incredibly delicate thanks to her dress with lace and sweetheart neckline, the silk dress with Carmen neckline was perfect for Crown Princess Victoria and Princess Charlène brought glamor back to Monaco with her elegant, figure-hugging dress. The ladies of the high nobility have always demonstrated a sense of style with their choice of dresses. The gowns perfectly emphasized and underlined their individual assets. Marvel at the royal gowns of royal brides!
