Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue! If your grandmother were Queen Elizabeth II, wouldn't you take advantage of her seemingly endless wardrobe? Princess Beatrice did, and I can't blame her one bit. The British royal quietly wed Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi [1] in a private ceremony on July 17, and she chose meaningful attire for the occasion.
In a couple of newly released wedding photos [2], you can see Beatrice and Edoardo exiting the Royal Chapel of All Saints at Royal Lodge in Windsor and looking blissfully in love. Her short-sleeved gown is a vintage design from Norman Hartnell, and it originally belonged to the queen herself. She paired the dress with a midlength veil and the Queen Mary diamond fringe tiara [3], which the queen borrowed from her own mother for her wedding day. What a sweet gesture from grandmother to granddaughter, and vice versa.
Ahead, get a closer look at Beatrice's full wedding-day look, then take a trip back in time to see Queen Elizabeth wearing the special tiara.
