Dear All

Hello

Hope you are okay.


There have been many royal weddings over the years.
Each unique and memorable for different reasons.

Some of the Royal Weddings include:


Princess Margaret, in May 1960

Princess Anne, in November 1973

Diana, Princess of Wales in July 1981

Sarah Ferguson, in July 1986

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

More recently, Sophie, Countess of Wessex, in 1999
and Kate Middleton in April 2011.

Take gentle care

Didn't they all get divorced? Seems like a big waste of money to me.

Hello Elizabeth, I hope you are well.

I know it is not very recent but I think that The Queen looked so beautiful on her wedding day, in an absolutely gorgeous dress.

I think closely followed by Kate, another beautiful bride.

I would never begrudge the cost of a Royal Wedding, they bring much pleasure to many and boost moral.

Take care yourself.

Saw the Queens wedding dress when it was in Manchester as after the Royal wedding it was on show at various galleries.

It looked so much nicer than the photographs,as they were in black and white then.
As it was not that long after the war finished and we hadn't seen such luxury it was amazing.

I believe the main royals do an unenviable job and rather royals than a president.
Agree that Diana's dress looked terribly creased..much too fussy as well.

I liked Kate's dress too.

I also liked Kates dress but most of all I loved her sister Pippas dress, simple but beautiful.

Dear All

Hello

Thank you very much.

Your replies are always much appreciated.

Maryanna, I liked the Queens dress too. Her wedding to Prince Philip gave the country a much needed boost after World War Two.


Take gentle care
With very best wishes
Elizabeth,

I loved the dress worn by Mary Donaldson when she married Prince Frederick of Denmark.

The Brit Royals...... I liked Princess Anne's dress when she married Mark Philips.

I didn't really like Diana's or Fergie's, too fussy.
