Harry did turn, however, and is believed to have sweetly told his older brother, "Right, she is here now. Well, she looks beautiful, I can tell you that," according to author Marcia Moody in her 2013 book Kate: A Biography.
More than a million people lined the procession route to see Kate as she headed to Westminster Abbey for the ceremony, which was performed by the then Archbishop of Canterbury, the Most Reverend Dr Rowan Williams.
The happy couple then headed to Buckingham Palace where they took their places on the balcony with their families to wave to the crowds.
