Biggest Differences Between the Two Royal Weddings
Now that the royal wedding is basically over, it's time to analyze every single second of it. JK! But not really. Meghan and Harry hosted a totally different type of even than William and Kate did in 2011, adding their own flair and spin on a sometimes-stuffy event. Here are the biggest changes for this year's wedding:
The dress:
Kate went with Alexander McQueen for her wedding day, and looked absolutely stunning. She wore sleeves, a full skirt, lace, and really went for it.
Meghan, for her turn down the aisle, shocked everyone by wearing Givenchy. She went with sleeves, too, but a totally different neckline and no lace. It was a much simpler look, but still stunning, obviously.
They both wore veils and tiaras, but different versions of each.
The venue:
Because Kate Middleton was marrying William, a future king, they got married in Westminster abbey in London.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle got married in Windsor at St. George's Chapel. It doesn't hold nearly as many people as the Abbey does, but it's still incredibly beautiful.
The guest list:
Kate and William loaded their guest list with world leaders, heads of state, etc. There were ambassadors, Prime Ministers, etc. Basically, it was a state affair. Not like there weren't friends and family there, but it was loaded with very important people.
Meghan and Harry, on the other hand, had no obligation to invite any such world leaders. It was an "all or nothing" deal, apparently, so their guest list was packed with celebrity friends. Oprah was there. OPRAH.
