From Henry VIII and his numerous wives to Prince Charles and Lady Diana Spencer, every major royal wedding is covered in this unique pictorial book.
Many rare images are used, telling the story of these important royal occasions from the twelfth century to the present day. Royal Weddings are always a time for public celebration; the build-up, the pomp and circumstance of the day, the dress, the sense of occasion. Author Janette McCutcheon takes us through the history of Royal Weddings, the highlights, the dresses, using period illustrations of many major royal weddings from Edward I to Prince Charles and Lady Diana Spencer. From the 800lb cake for Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon's wedding to the more private wedding of the Duke and Duchess of Windsor at a French chateau and the pomp and circumstance of the wedding of Charles and Di, we are taken on a journey through the weddings that changed history.
