And do not forget the overload of softness.

1. Gramps was there

The grandfather of Princess Eugenie, Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh and husband of Queen Elizabeth II for nearly 71 years, went to the wedding of her beloved granddaughter, undoubtedly causing more than a few eyes watered with pride. Until the last minute, he was not sure that he would: 97 years old, retired from public life and still recovering hip replacement surgery. He was encouraged when he was first seen sitting next to the queen in the car. He walked unassisted into the church, just steps from His Majesty, as he has done countless times during his 66 year reign, a familiar and reassuring emblem of the 39; endurance.

2. The dramatic reading of Princess Beatrice in 'The Great Gatsby & # 39;

Princess Beatrice, the bride's older sister and bridesmaid, read an excerpt from The Great American Gospel, "The Great Gatsby" by F. Scott Fitzgerald, at the second reading of the cult. The passage spoke of the "rare smile of the central character with a quality of eternal reassurance".

The Dean of Windsor, Reverend David Conner, who chaired the meeting, told the congregation that Eugenie had read the novel when she had started dating Brooksbank and chose this passage as it reminded her his fiance and his warm smile. Sweet, even if "Gatsby" has been interpreted as Fitzgerald's critique of the lifestyles of the rich and pathetically frivolous American society of the 1920s.

3. The dress that showed the scars

Eugenie's Peter Pilotto dress was an amazing product all around, but it was special in another way too: Eugenie Wanted the back dips low enough to show his scarring due to scoliosis surgery (eight o'clock, titanium rod inserted near the spine) at the age of 12 years.

The dress had a wide V neckline that folded around the shoulders to form a lower back, draped in a long, fluid train. Eugenie has long been open to her health problems. As she told ITV during an interview on the eve of the wedding, "I think you can change the beauty of the skin, and you can show people your scars, and I think that's why." Is really special to stand up for this. "

4 Blowing in the wind

At least it was not raining, but it really blew. No surprise, it's England after all. But it wreaks havoc with hairs and hats, the latter being de rigueur at British weddings and royal weddings in particular.

Some women have almost lost their hat, including Sarah Ferguson, the mother of the bride, the Duchess of York, saw her Kelly topper clutch green as she entered the church.

The television coverage showed the wind sweeping the fascinator of a woman's head dressed in a burgundy cocktail dress, forcing her escort to pursue her. Almost all women had to wear their hats in gusts.

Worse, Maid of Honor Princess Charlotte and Pageboy Louis de Givenchy each storming the steps leading to the church because of the strength of the wind, and the dress of their teenage guardian was exploded while she was helping them.

Given the weather conditions, it was wise to send Eugenie and Jack to their procession in a carriage in the glazed Scottish coach. Harry and Meghan boarded an open carriage for their procession after the wedding in sunny and calm weather.

5 The diadem rarely seen

It was a puzzle, especially because the royal heads were not very present. Eugenie wore the Greville Emerald Kokoshnik Tiara, a bandage diadem borrowed from the queen.

Made by Boucheron in 1919 in the style "kokoshnik" popularized by the Imperial Court of Russia, it consists of a pavé of brilliant diamonds and rose cut with platinum set with six emeralds inlaid the coin on each side.

The tiara was bequeathed to Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother in 1942 and now belongs to Her Majesty. Eugenie also wore earrings with diamonds and emeralds, a groom's wedding gift.

And we could see all this spark because Eugenie chose to give up a veil.
