I was reading a bit about Princess Haya the other day (interested as she used to be associated with somewhere I worked, although I never properly met her). It said that Jordan relies quite a lot on trade / financial support from the UAE, so her going home would have put her family in a diplomatically difficult situation. So if she is there it will probably be very low key. It’s a shame. Everyone I know who did meet her said she was nice.

ooh! Is the tiaras-are-for-married-women-only rule not an international one?

DuchessOfPort · 01/06/2023 19:15

Though, to be fair, you couldn’t whack one on your own head and tell your daughter she can’t have one.

MotherofPearl · 01/06/2023 19:20

As usual CPV has nailed the eveningwear look - though I dislike pink I think she looks stunning in that pink gown. Not my favourite of the Swedish tiaras, but I'll take what I can get at this stage.

I think princesses are exempt from that rule.

DisforDarkChocolate · 01/06/2023 19:25

Really not liking the bride's dress. It's making her walk like she is hobbled and the very flat shoes are showing too much when she walks. She does look very happy though which is the important thing.

It’s not a rule in the UK either - Princess Margaret wore a tiara for years before she got married.

maisiedaisy64 · 01/06/2023 20:09

Can anyone explain why the bride’s own family don’t seem to be that involved in the ceremony? I think her two attendants were her sisters in law, but I stand corrected if someone else knows better! Just curious about their traditions.

Think the reception dress is a rewear for CPM

Beatrice's dress is lovely and her hair.
Really don't like Kate's Saab dress at all

paradyning · 01/06/2023 20:11

Love the front of the wedding dress. It has a 1940s vibe. And that she's wearing flats!

KillingMeDeftly · 01/06/2023 20:30

@Serenster I'd like to have seen someone try to tell Margaret she couldn't wear a tiara! I think Anne used to wear one before she married too?

That's the pink version of a gown Meghan has worn in blue and red. I love a caped gown!

paradyning · 01/06/2023 20:39

That's a lovely dress on CPV. Princess Lilian's tiara isn't one of my favs but it suits her face shape very well.

Kate's dress looks like it could be interesting

paradyning · 01/06/2023 20:43

Is she wearing the lotus tiara? Can anyone tell?

Kate's dress looks like it could be Jenny Packham? And Beatrice is wearing the York tiara, which I presumed Fergie had flogged long ago to pay the bills!

paradyning · 01/06/2023 20:50

Oh wow is it? I thought that was long gone too!

The evening wedding dress has taken a turn

Love Bea's evening outfit. She looks fabulous. Lucky Edo.

paradyning · 01/06/2023 20:56

She looks fab. The dress is Reem Acra apparently

Serenster · 01/06/2023 20:57

Rajwa’s reception gown looks like the wedding cake decorator was practising on a dress before they iced the wedding cake!

Lovely to see Beatrice in her mothers tiara. Kate’s dress is Jenny Packham and very pretty.

Maireas · 01/06/2023 21:02

Max looks great, as does Kate. That dress - is it gold or bronze? Stunning. Cambridge Lover's Knot tiara. I don't like Beatrice's hair or dress.
Queen Rania, elegant as ever. The bride is beautiful, but I'm afraid it does look like a bit of a shaving cream accident.

Rajwa's evening dress looks like it was last seen on one of those doll toilet roll covers! I though the more modern and sleek lines of here ceremony dress suited her far better.
