Most ICONIC royal wedding dresses of all time | British Royal Brides throughout history

How have royal wedding dresses changed over 230 years in Britain, what did some of the most iconic royal brides in history wear on their big days and who were the best and worst royal brides ever (in my opinion)? In this royal wedding dress documentary from History Calling we look at the history of royal wedding dresses since the 18th century, including: Caroline of Brunswick’s wedding dress Princess Charlotte of Wales’ wedding dress Queen Victoria’s wedding dress and the wedding dresses of Queen Victoria’s daughters Queen Alexandra’s wedding dress Elizabeth II’s wedding dress created during a time of rationing Princess Diana’s Wedding dress for her 1981 marriage to Prince Charles Kate Middleton’s wedding dress for her 2011 wedding to Prince William Meghan Markle’s wedding dress for her marriage to Prince Harry in 2018 Queen Camilla’s wedding dress for her 2005 marriage to Prince Charles You’ll find out if it’s true that Queen Victoria had the first white wedding dress and hear who makes royal wedding dresses (including how designers like the Emmanuels, Sarah Burton at Alexander McQueen, Givency and Stella McCartney handled the jobs), how much royal wedding dresses cost and what the oldest surviving royal wedding dress looks like and who wore it. I’ll also discuss why British royal brides are expected to wear British made wedding dresses, who controversially bucked this trend, which royal bride wore a second-hand dress and which Princess used her wedding dress to show off a scar. We’ll even look at the wedding dresses worn by royal brides to their receptions in more recent years and at how these differ to their main dresses. Finally, we’ll see the tiaras worn by royal brides on their wedding days, including the Spencer tiara worn by Princess Diana, the halo tiara worn by Catherine Middleton and which royal brides didn’t wear tiaras at all.
