I thought she looked great. She has lost a lot of weight and I really liked her dress, with the flattering shape. No veil, just a tiara keeping it more simple. She looked so happy.
Best of luck to them.

I think the photographer would have been struggling with trying to make it all looked balanced. Does protocol dictate that nobody (especially children) should sit in front of the Queen's legs?

Putting a gap between Beatrice and Fergie might have been the only way to do it which meant she was slightly further away from Prince Philip for it to work.

It all looks very stiff and formal.

And how lovely to have two 90+ grandparents in the wedding photos.

The grooms family on the grooms side, the brides family on the brides side, that is correct, if queenie and Phillip hadn’t been there it would have been Andrew next to the bride , balance

and The Dress and Train

Because the queen is in the photograph gilly ,it’s that simple ,

Jalima1108 Sun 14-Oct-18 17:39:37

They are furthest away from HM and PP though (the groom's parents) - sort of family but not quite yet?
If we are looking at the subtle psychology behind the photo.

gillybob Sun 14-Oct-18 17:38:02

Still want do I know? Nothing much.

gillybob Sun 14-Oct-18 17:37:42

Can’t understand why the MOTB is not standing next to the bride when the FOTG is standing almost shoulder to shoulder with him.

gillybob Sun 14-Oct-18 17:36:23

I think they're all perfectly position gillybob, or have I got the wrong link

The link right above your post above is the photo I am referring to (it starts pagesix) It just seems to me that they have positioned the mother and the father of the groom perfectly close to him whereas the mother of the bride is way out . Might be just me but it looks like a deliberate attempt to sideline her.

Willow500 Sun 14-Oct-18 17:34:04

Looking at the photo I don't really see how they could have positioned people in any other way. They had to get the dress in full view necessitating a gap between the Queen and bride, Sarah is standing to the right of Phillip, she's not that far from him and they had to put Beatrice somewhere so other than squashing her in on the end I think that's looks fine. There are a lot of people in the photo as all those children had to be in it too.

I loved the whole wedding, the dress - she looked beautiful - and the fact that they both looked so happy. I also thought the children behaved wonderfully - their parents must have all been so proud of them.

Jalima1108 Sun 14-Oct-18 17:31:12

I expect the photographer positioned them all and that won't be the only photo. Who was the photographer? - it all looks rather stiff and too posed, even for a royal photo.

The mention of Fergies FIL.In my own mind I've always thought that once he pops off they will remarry.

Jalima1108 Sun 14-Oct-18 17:28:28

positioned

She does look nervous though, unlike her exuberant self.

This photo shows exactly what I mean.

gillybob Sun 14-Oct-18 16:58:04

I’m not arguing anyway, the photo tells it as it is.

gillybob Sun 14-Oct-18 16:57:38

So are you saying there isn’t a huge gap between the bride and her mother Annie because there is whilst the groom is standing almost shoulder to shoulder with his father. In my opinion this was a deliberate and cruel attempt to keep SF as far away as possible which is cruel and nasty.

Anniebach Sun 14-Oct-18 16:52:57

queenie and Phillip couldn’t have sat on the grooms side could they? And couldn’t be placed on the end , look at this

gillybob Sun 14-Oct-18 16:40:38

And the grooms parents are standing right beside him so why was SF pushed way over to the right ?

gillybob Sun 14-Oct-18 16:38:51

There’s a huge gap before SF . Why couldn’t she stand behind her maj ? She is the MOTB after all . I’m surprised they didn’t stand her to the right of Airmiles then they could snip her out all together at a later date. Poor Sarah.

Loved the photo of little Mia who looked like a fish out of water, she was clearly very bored . I could almost hear her thinking “get me out of this stupid frock” or “I’m wasting a day with the horses for this?” grin

Anniebach Sun 14-Oct-18 16:35:05

But Megan mostly wesrs black or navy GrannyGravy

I thought Sophie Essex looked so elegant

Anniebach Sun 14-Oct-18 16:33:15

Gilly, shoved as far out of the photo as they dared ? Standing between her ex husband and prince Phillip , where did you expect her to be , between queenie and Phillip ? ?

oldbatty Sun 14-Oct-18 16:19:01

I think with Fergie its an unfortunate combination of her not being able to reign it in ( see what I did there) and the press waiting for her to do something silly.

The green looked great on her but it was a little bit tight.

GrannyGravy13 Sun 14-Oct-18 16:15:25

I think Meghan wore dark navy so as not to stand out and be perceived as "upstaging" the bride.

I think this photo speaks volumes . Poor SF was shoved as far out of the photo as they dared get away with .
