To feel like Princess Beatrice has played a blinder!!!

She has managed to make be feel all emotional seeing her in the Queen’s dress and tiara. Didn’t think any Royal bride could top Kate but think Beatrice might have managed it by going ultra low-key.

I agree! She looked wonderful and how amazing to be wearing the same tiara as the Queen wore at her own wedding.

Absolutely! No £100k dress here, Granny's old party dress!

I've Ben so excited to see the pictures all day. She looks beautiful. The dress & tiara from HMQ are so special not to mention that both really suit her. I hope it was a perfect day for them.

I do wonder what happened to her original dress. I wonder if they are hoping to have a reception once a large party is possible & she has decided to keep her dress for that?

I've just started a thread it say that I don't think the photos are great - we can't even see the dress!

So refreshing and lovely. Good on them.

I had a low key family only wedding and it was our perfect day. No fuss, just us.

Confused

The idea it's 'granny's old party dress' is incredibly mawkish.

The poor woman wanted to be private. Can't you leave her alone?

I could see it clearly in the photos I googled.

I think it's been handled well. Same day as Sir Tom Moore, dad is in the press for all the wrong reasons and in the middle of a pandemic. I bet a bigger 'do' will take place at a later date.

Yeah this is what I think of when I think “Low key” 😂

I was wondering if she’s pregnant and the original dress made it a bit obvious!

I’m sure she could have got her hands on a new dress if that’s what she had wanted.

God I bet she is so relieved at having the spotlight off after all that business with Prince A.
Well dodged.
Not a royalist by any stretch but hope they had a fab day.

She looks lovely, good on her, her original plans were scuppered by both the pandemic and her father, none of these her doing but it looks like the marriage was more important to her than a wedding so I really wish her the best of luck

The dress is lovely, so much nicer than Kare or Meghan's dresses.

Gosh that’s a fabulous dress. Very pretty, unique, perfect for summer and environmentally friendly.
Good on her.

Tbh it’s my favourite royal wedding dress... pleasantly very surprised and didn’t think I liked that type of dress! Just beautiful and am now rather jealous! Plus a blinder of a tiara
