Princess Eugenie’s hat at William’s wedding- On April 29, 2011, Prince William and Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge married in an extravagant royal ceremony. The wedding was held at Westminster Abbey and was attended by 1,900 people.
Most of the guests arriving were caught on camera, including William’s cousins Princess Eugenie and Princess Beatrice. Outside of the United Kingdom, princesses were comparatively unknown at the time. However, because of their attire (more specifically, their headwear), their names and photographs were pasted on tabloids all over the world following the royal wedding.
What did Princess Eugenie wear to Prince William’s wedding??
Fascinators are a classic of formal British fashion, and the princesses, who were no outsiders to sporting eye-catching hair pieces to events, went completely out for the royal wedding.
Eugenie’s blue headpiece by Philip Treacy, fixed on the front of her head, paired her blue and green Vivienne Westwood gown perfectly, however, it was the exploding arrangement of flowers and feathers that took it to the next level.
Princess Eugenie decided to wear a knee-length blue, aqua, and purple gown. Princess Eugenie’s hat at William’s wedding was a brilliant blue fascinator adorned with a deep purple flower and fluffy white feathers. Both sisters’ appearances had become among the most discussed topic that day, although not in the way they would have preferred.
Did Princess Eugenie cry because of the tabloids?
Eugenie revealed to British Vogue in a September 2018 interview that both she and her sister broke down in tears before a Buckingham Palace garden party as a result of all the criticism they received about their wedding attire. The article was named Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie on keeping it real.
“There was a horrible article that had been written about Beatrice and she got really upset,” Eugenie reminisced.
“We were just about to step out and she had a bit of a wobble and cried. I was looking after her. And then about an hour later, I had a wobble and started crying.”
