Royal wedding dress

On April 29, 2011, Catherine “Kate” Middleton married Prince William at Westminster Abbey in London, UK, with tens of millions of people watching around the world. The buildup to the royal wedding had attracted intense media attention in the months and weeks leading up to the big day, so much attention that some royal watchers compared the spectacle to the 1981 marriage of William’s parents, Lady Diana Spencer and Charles, Prince of Wales. Thirty years later, history seemed to be repeating itself with an incredible amount of speculation over what Kate would wear – but, like Diana, the bride (and Buckingham Palace) kept people guessing by not formally announcing any details about the royal wedding dress or its maker until Kate stepped out of her car to enter Westminster Abbey just moments before the service.
