On April 29, 2011, Kate Middleton became a member of the British royal family by marrying the heir to the throne, the Prince Guillermo. For a moment like this she chose an impressive dress designed by Sarah Burton, the creative director of Alexander McQueen.
A suit that is part of the history of the great royal weddings, with a fitted bodice, a sweetheart neckline, long lace sleeves, a full skirt and a long train of almost three meters. Touched with the tiara Cartier that King George VI gifted to the Queen Mother and inherited Isabel II when she turned 18, Kate Middleton was spectacular. At the height of a great spectacle like the one experienced that day at Westminster Abbey. It was not, however, the best way to celebrate the ‘I do’, already in private at Buckingham Palace. Hence the Duchess of Cambridge changed her dress for a second dressThis one is also in white designed by Sarah Burton, with a strapless neckline and a beaded belt that Kate accompanied with an angora bolero.
On September 10, 2011, just four months and 11 days later, Meghan Markle married film producer Trevor Engelson on a beach in Jamaica in a wedding whose celebration lasted four days and which was attended by a hundred family and friends. What is surprising is not the location, no matter how exotic, but wedding dress Megan’s, almost identical to the second suit Kate wore on her wedding day: white, strapless and with a belt like the Duchess of Cambridge’s. Meghan dispensed with the bolero, unnecessary in Jamaica.
