Royal wedding at Windsor

17/05/2008

The Queen and other senior royal family members attended the wedding of her eldest grandson at Windsor Castle today.

Peter Phillips, 30, married Canadian management consultant Autumn Kelly, also 30, in a service at the castle's St George's Chapel.

He is the son of Princess Anne, the Princess Royal, and is 11th in line with the throne.

Had Ms Kelly not converted to Anglicanism from Catholicism that eligibility would have been discontinued.

The Queen ad the Duke of Edinburgh were joined by the Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall, as well as by Prince Harry. There were 300 guests in total, some 70 of which had flown from Canada especially.

Zara Phillips, the bridgegroom's sister, was one of six bridesmaids wearing Vera Wang dresses.

The bridge herself wore a designer dress by Sassi Halford and a tiara loaned to her for the occasion by her new mother-in-law.
