This week on the Friday 29th April we will celebrate the 5th wedding anniversary of Prince William, Duke of Camridge and Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge. Their wedding was watched by millions of people both on TV and on the internet. To signify the important event I am dedicating two weeks worth of Wedding Wednesday posts to the wedding of Wills & Kate.

This week will look at the pre-wedding dinner hosted by Prince Charles & Queen Elizabeth for the royal guests that arrived for the wedding


Queen Elizabeth II, Grandmother of The Groom. She looks fantastic, her outfit is just beautiful.


Grandfather of The Groom, Prince Philip Duke of Edinburgh.


Father of the Groom, Prince Charles of Wales and Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall


William's Uncle, Prince Andrew Duke of York


Looking so beautiful is William's cousin, Princess Beatrice of York


Princess Eugenie of York


William's other uncle, Prince Edward Earl of Wessex & his wife Sophie, Countess of Wessex. I love Sophie's dress but the tan line from her bra doesn't look great.


William's maternal aunt, Princess Anne The Princess Royal


Princess Anne's husband, Vice Admiral Sir Timothy Lawrence


Queen Elizabeth's 1st cousin, Prince Richard Duke of Gloucester and his wife Birgitte, Duchess of Gloucester

Queen Sonja of Norway


Queen Sofia of Spain with her son Felipe, Prince of Asturias and his wife Princess Letizia. Letizia is dressed the best out of everyone in my opinion. Princess Beatrice comes second followed by Princess Tatiana and Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden who I think tie in 3rd place.
