SECRET OF THE DRESS

Sewn into her gown was her ‘something blue’, a piece of a dress she had worn on her first date with Harry.

Her ‘something borrowed’ came from the monarch herself, the Queen Mary’s diamond bandeau tiara, which held the veil in place.

This tiara was made in 1932, the entire brooch dating back to 1893 according to the Kensington Palace.
