Princess Beatrice made a last minute request to borrow the Queen's dress on her wedding day
Princess Beatrice looked stunning in one of the Queen's vintage dresses on her wedding day to Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi last Friday, but it's been revealed that the royal hadn't always planned to borrow her grandmother's frock.
After a reported last minute change of heart about her dress, Beatrice, 31, "made a request [to loan one from the Queen], and that was kindly granted – and it looked amazing," a friend of the bride and groom told PEOPLE. The pal added: "It was touching for both of them."
The bride's beautiful dress, originally designed by Norman Hartnell, is made from Peau De Soie taffeta in shades of ivory, trimmed with ivory Duchess satin, with organza sleeves. It is encrusted with diamanté details and a geometric checkered bodice. The gown was remodelled and fitted for Beatrice by the Queen's dresser Angela Kelly and loyal dressmaker Stewart Parvin.
But the original dress had no sleeves so the "last minute" included time for alterations....I LOVE THIS SO MUCH!!!! Wonderful.
Her definition of cooped up differs from mine. The house has over 25,000 sq feet and sits on 22 acres of land with a view. There is a pool and tennis court and extensive gardens.

She’s quite talented IMO - I’ve taken a few memorable pictures of my own but she captures the essence of what I imagine their personalities to be just based on all the pictures of the boys growing up around Princess Diana JMOWhat great photos.
He looks like his father and his paternal grandmother. I also see a bit of King George VI.
This wedding just has character and warmth and love and respect and joy.Long ago in a galaxy far away I worked bridal.
If asked, with cooperative participants, I could have added those sleeves in a couple hours.
Wonderful choices all around, love the look, love the history of the tiara -- gift from Queen Victoria to Mary of Teck, worn by HRH Elizabeth and HRH Anne for their weddings, love everything we know!
Lovely, lovely , lovely bride!
