No doubt you’ve heard all about Kate Middleton’s glorious, lace-kissed Alexander McQueen gown by now—how it was crafted at the hands of Sarah Burton, its two-meter train and aesthetic nod to Grace Kelly—but what of the Prince’s regal ensemble?
While details of Prince William’s wedding attire didn’t exactly have reporters sifting through garbage cans, there’s no question the newly ordained Duke of Cambridge looked quite smashing alongside his equally heavenly bride. As is royal tradition, the groom, currently a Flight Lieutenant with the Royal Air Force’s search and rescue team, sported military regalia for the big day.
Donning a crimson, high-collared Colonel of the Irish Guards uniform, William married Kate Middleton dressed in a tunic bearing the Irish Guards’ arrangement of buttons and gold sword slings but no sword. A bright blue sash lay emblazoned across the Prince’s chest along with Royal Air Force ‘wings’ and his Golden Jubilee medal. The stately look was topped off with a forage hat bearing the regiment’s motto “Quis Serabit?” or “who shall separate us?” and white gloves.
Not to be outdone by big brother, Prince Harry wore a Blues and Royals’ officer’s uniform with a forage cap featuring a Blues and Royals badge and insignia of the Most Noble Order with the Queen’s cipher. Harry also appeared sans sword, but displayed a cross belt, aiguillettes (ornamental braided cords) and sword slings.
Nearly 30 years ago, heir-to-the-throne Prince Charles married Diana Spencer in Royal Navy attire, sword included.
