It must be lovely to have an actual diamond tiara. Your dress could be rubbish, but a diamond tiara will save the day.

Rhubarb it's Sophie Winkleman the brides SIL. Opinion here divided on her coat, I love it though!

QueenOfTheAndals · 18/05/2019 12:28

Hello has details on the dress and a few more photos.

@TSSDNCOP That's Sophie Windsor aka Big Suze from Peep Show. She's Ella's SiL.

A little bridesmaid!

TSSDNCOP · 18/05/2019 12:31

She was Winkleman no? Now married to Freddie? Had no idea about the Peep Show, she was in the awful crash though right?

QueenOfTheAndals · 18/05/2019 12:31

I'm guessing the bridesmaids are Freddie's daughters?

QueenOfTheAndals · 18/05/2019 12:32

Yes, now that you mention it I think she was in a bad car crash @TSSDNCOP

The lady helping with the train look fabulous! Love the brides bouquet. Totally gorgeous!

Paradyning · 18/05/2019 12:51

Bea looks fab! Fergie looks ?? But she has Max's chuzpah to pull it off so looks fabulous! (Except the shoes!)
Love the bride. And the flowers on
the steps. Are those her attendants?? Wtf are they wearing!

Need to work out which tiara it is!

Paradyning · 18/05/2019 12:53

Got this from Rebecca English
Gabriella wore a Russian Fringe style diamond tiara also worn by her grandmother, HRH Princess Marina, Duchess of Kent, and her mother, HRH Princess Michael of Kent, on their wedding days.

Paradyning · 18/05/2019 12:59

Sophie Winkleman's outfit is very Camilla

alldressedupinblue · 18/05/2019 13:02

Throwback to Sophie Winkleman's dress. Today's bride is on the right:

beanaseireann · 18/05/2019 13:08

Sophie Windsor Winkleman is a half sister of Claudia Winkleman.

The bride looks beautiful.
Fergies outfit gives her a very matronly bosom.

RhubarbIsEvil · 18/05/2019 13:10

Sorry, but Sophie’s wedding dress is awful. Style sleuths, have we seen the Sophie feather coat before? (Thanks for pointing her out BTW)

Also, what are the odds of two wedding guests wearing the same outfit? (Thanks and credit to queen)

Beautiful bride, and the little bridesmaids are lovely.

No to the Duchess of Gloucester, the eighties pink spotty number and Princess Anne from me.

I also want to see the outfits of the ladies fixing her train, especially the pink one!

frugalkitty · 18/05/2019 13:11

I like her dress, looking forward to seeing it in more detail, but the best but for me is coloured flowers in the bouquet!! Flowers royal brides tend to stick to cream/white which is a bit boring in my opinion, so the coloured flowers for me win the day.

QueenOfTheAndals · 18/05/2019 13:20

@Paradyning I've seen photos of Brigitte Gloucester in that headband before. I think she's had it since the 80s, so long before Kate started wearing them!

Christ there are some awful dresses at this wedding Grin Lady Amelia’s is dreadful, the women helping with the train look hideous, and the fancy dress ladies... well, let’s hope it was fancy dress.

Is Lady Gabriella’s mother the evil one? The Kents confuse me - I can never remember who is who.

QueenOfTheAndals · 18/05/2019 13:38

Yes she is @Haworthia. Not to be confused by the lovely duchess of Kent! Incidentally I didn't see any photos of the duke and duchess today, or Lady Helen Windsor, but I assume they're all there.
