Queen Victoria was born on May 24, 1819 and was a monarch of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland from June 20, 1837 till her death in 1901. She married her first cousin, Prince Albert. Her reign was called the Victorian era. It was she who started the custom of wearing “white wedding gown” for the wedding; till such time, brides used to wear different colored wedding gowns.
2. Prince Edward and Wallis Simpson:

Wallis was born on June 19, 1896 and married Prince Edward, Duke of Windsor on June 3, 1937. Wallis Simpson was a twice-divorced woman and this created a constitutional crisis in the United Kingdom. This led to the abdication of Prince Edward; he was then created Duke of Windsor by his brother George VI. Another significance of this wedding is that it was attended only by 16 guests and the bride wore a blue dress.
3. Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip:

Is there anyone who doesn’t know Queen Elizabeth? She was born on May 21, 1926 and married Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburg on November 20, 1947. What is so significant about this royal wedding? They received 2,500 presents from all over the world; just imagine how much time it would have took for them to send a thank you note to all those who gave presents to them? It is believed that they still use many of the gifts that they received some 64 years ago.

Enjoyed your article and pictures but I really am not all that looking to even more TV coverage. Let them live their life with some peace.

I’m rather pleased I’ll miss the wedding on TV. It all seems such a lot of money that could be spent in other ways.

very interesting write here, Anu.
So cousins can marry each other? Queen Victoria and her cousin, Albert. By the way, that pic, she looked unhappy (but we won’t know).

I don’t think it would be such a big bash, if we did not foot the bills for all of their weddings, and everything else they sponge from the Nation, they are after all only the same as me, and you except their forbearer’s were power mad barbarian genocidal killers… who’s history has been manipulated to suit the masses, guess you notice I am not a royalist, but I do wish them well on there big day cheers

I thought, the princess of Brunei is the daughter of the sultan. Is the crown prince his son too? Just confused…nice article.
