Kate Middleton’s wedding dress revisited

It may have been a grand wedding with nearly 2,000 guests arriving at Westminster Abbey for the ceremony, but the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge managed to make the historic day a very personal one.

Kate has her younger sister Pippa as her bridesmaid while Prince William chooses his younger brother Prince Harry as his best man.

Harry kept up the best man tradition by speaking at the wedding reception – and according to many guests it was the highlight of the big day, even if he did make Kate cry.

Royal author Katie Nicholl gave an insight into the tearful speech in her biography Harry: Life, Loss and Love.

She said: “It was emotional, warm and funny and touched William deeply.

“Famous for his ability to imitate, Harry later impersonated his brother calling Kate ‘Babykins’, to much laughter from the guests.

But according to royal expert Duncan Larcombe, Harry and Kate’s sibling-like relationship is now “in the past”.

It comes amid the growing feud between William and Harry and the fact that Harry and his wife Meghan Markle decided to give up their royal status and leave the UK for California.

And speaking earlier this year as Kate approached her 40th birthday, Duncan told OK!: “Like Harry said, Kate is the sister he never had and that’s clearly not the case anymore.

“There was a time when Harry was instrumental in any celebration or any fun the couple were having, but those days are long gone.”
