More regal than the Royals! That was Kate Middleton, now a princess and Duchess of Cambridge. Didn't she do well? Absolutely beautiful in exactly the right dress, she sat there straight as a ramrod. Totally poised. She's even managed the royal wave on the way back, that's from the elbow, not the shoulder. Word perfect they were too - no stumbling over names this time, the way Charles did.
Wills was a bit slumped and Harry looked his usual bumbling along self - though his fantastic good humour was a delight. ""She looks lovely!" he told William at the altar as he stole a look back down the aisle. All perfect.
Except for the pantomime dames Beatrice and Eugene. All big bosom in one case and ridiculous hat on the other. Put years on them. Their mum Sarah Ferguson must have had a hand in it. She wasn't there, but their outfits had her stamp all over them. What a shame they didn't listen to Zara Phillips instead. Or Mrs Middleton. She looked spot on as mother of the bride, though at one point the impact of it all really hit her and you could see her wondering; " What has she let herself in for?"
Really, despite being royal it all looked just like any family do - some got it right a few got it wrong, but that's just the way these things go. Good luck to them.
