Royal weddings receive the attention of everyone, whether the media or the general public, and as soon as a wedding is announced for a member of the royal family, the search for all the arrangements for the ceremony, from its accommodation to the bride’s dress, begins.
But there are some events that may happen behind the scenes that many do not know, forcing the royal family to make changes in the last moments of the wedding, and in the following report, the magazine website explains “HelloSome of the last-minute changes in royal weddings:
Princess Beatrice’s wedding:
Royal family watchers have been surprised when Princess Beatrice will marry Eduardo Mapelli Mozzi on July 17, 2020, as the couple were forced to annul their original marriage amid the coronavirus pandemic.
Beatrice and Eduardo were due to marry on May 29, 2020 at St James’s Palace in London, with a reception at Buckingham Palace after the ceremony.
When lockdown restrictions began to be lifted in the UK, the Princess made a last-minute decision to organize a wedding in Royal Chapel of All Saints in a Royal Lodge in a Windsor, close to where I grew up.

The private ceremony was attended by the couple’s closest family, including the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh, who have been staying at Windsor Castle throughout the lockdown, and her wedding venue was not the only last-minute change for Beatrice.
Originally, she wasn’t supposed to borrow a dress from the Queen, but after a change of heart about her wedding dress, Beatrice asked to borrow the dress she had worn at her wedding, and she was kindly given the dress and it looked great.
Beatrice wore one of the old Norman Hartnell dresses from the 1960s on her big day, which was redesigned and fitted by Queen Angela Kelly and dressmaker Stuart Parvin.

The dress was made of taffeta in shades of ivory, decorated with ivory satin, with organza sleeves, and was studded with diamond details.
Farah Meghan and Harry:
When Meghan Markle’s father, Thomas Markle, was unable to attend her and Prince Harry’s royal wedding in May 2018, Prince Charles walked in with the bride down the aisle.
Meghan was escorted to St George’s Chapel in Windsor by her mother Doria Ragland in the car and walked the first half of the driveway alone, then Charles escorted his daughter-in-law to the altar in the second half.
Prince Philip also underwent hip surgery a month before Harry and Meghan were married, and Buckingham Palace only confirmed that the Duke would be present the day before.

Similarly, the Duke’s name was not listed alongside the Queen in arranging the service at Eugenie’s wedding, but he delighted royal admirers with his presence on that day.
Prince Charles and Camilla’s party:
Prince Charles and Camilla’s wedding in 2005 was postponed for a day so that the Prince of Wales could attend Pope John Paul II’s funeral in Vatican City.

Prince Carl Philip’s wedding:
In the lead-up to her brother Prince Carl Philip’s 2015 wedding to Sophia Hellqvist, it was thought Princess Madeleine might miss the wedding because she was pregnant with her second child.
Princess Madeleine’s attendance at the ceremony was apparently at the last minute and she gave birth to her son Prince Nicola two days later, and Madeleine revealed during an interview with Swedish magazine Mama that she had contractions all day at the royal wedding.
