The Queen shared a tender moment with the beautiful bride after the wedding

My little bridesmaids had accidentally wandered on to my very sheer tulle 20ft veil. I slowed down until they’d stepped off it, but then it happened again. Fortunately, my hairdresser had pinned the tiara in place and it stood firm."
The royal was wearing an exquisite tiara that featured diamonds set in gold and silver in a classic Russian fringe style. It was previously worn by her mother Princess Michael of Kent and her grandmother Princess Marina of Greece on their wedding days.
Among the guests who joined the couple on their special day were Prince Harry, Princess Anne, Prince Andrew and members of the Middleton family - Pippa, James, Carole and Michael.
