It’s one of the most famous weddings of the year, with thousands of photographers’ lenses poised to capture every moment. But here are some of the details you may have missed.
1# Prince George had a tantrum, and had to be spoken to by his mother, the Duchess of Cambridge. The prince, who recently turned four, was a page boy at the wedding, while sister Princess Charlotte was bridesmaid.
According to onlookers, George was seen bursting into tears as the wedding party left the church, and the Duchess led the children towards cars that took them to the reception.
2# Meghan Markle was a no-show. Paparazzi spotted the actress at a spa on the morning of the wedding, but Prince Harry slipped in to the church via a side entrance, seemingly without Markle. People.com and E!News have since reported that she recently arrived at the reception.
3# Pippa Middleton’s dress was created by British designer Giles Deacon – and he told the Business of Fashion that it was inspired by the dancing scene in the 1963 film The Leopard.
4# The Duchess of Cambridge attended to the children at the wedding – but she was helped by Prince George and Princess Charlotte’s nanny, Maria Borrallo. She arrived at the wedding in her Norland nannies uniform. In Britain, the prestigious Norland College, which is based in Bath, has been training nannies for the rich, famous and royal since 1892.
5# The wedding guests are currently partying at a glass marquee, shipped from Belgium, on the Middleton family’s estate.
