YOU Magazine Fashion Beauty Celebrity Health Life Relationships Horoscopes Food Interiors Travel Home Celebrity Why this iconic royal wedding picture almost never happened By You Magazine - April 29, 2019 Today marks Prince William and Kate Middleton’s eighth anniversary, and the pair, along with many in the UK, are no doubt currently thinking back to the day of that royal wedding. From where you watched the wedding to the first time you saw the dress, the big day marked a huge occasion for the British public. And in the days following the wedding, we got to re-live every moment with the beautiful photographs taken on the day and beyond.

Hugo Burnand spoke to Town & Country about the run up to the wedding and the famous photographs themselves. And surprisingly, it sounds as though one of the most iconic images from the day nearly didn’t happen.

And she turned to William and said, “What do you think?” And he said, “Let’s go for it.”‘ He continued: ‘So in three minutes she sat down on the steps, Sarah Burton put the dress out perfectly, Prince William leant in, the children basically did what they felt was the right thing to do.’ View this post on Instagram A post shared by Duke and Duchess of Cambridge (@dukeandduchessofcambridge) Explaining that it was his favourite photo he took that day, Burnand said that although it looks highly posed, the image was actually largely spontaneous: ‘That was a very spontaneous picture. That little detail there [points to Kate’s hand touching William’s knee] and William leaning in there, all these things were not directed, but a result of a good relationship with everyone.’ Looking at the outcome, we bet William and Kate are very glad they took the time to add this one to their album… RELATED ARTICLESMORE FROM AUTHOR 50 of the best celebrity Halloween costumes of all time Shirley Ballas ‘ Strictly gave me back my hope’ Davina McCall discusses how men can help women going through the menopause Popular in Celebrity Beauty vlogger Nic Chapman opens up about her diagnosis and troubled August 22, 2017 Quickfire with Strictly veteran Anton Du Beke December 5, 2017 Yolanda Kettle reveals what it’ s like playing the other woman February 12, 2018 The billion-dollar baby club The celebrity children living it large April 15, 2018 Tom and Giovanna Fletcher talk married life and working with your June 3, 2018 Jacqueline Gold ‘ I want to give women confidence’ July 15, 2018 Quickfire Comedian Alex Horne on Gary The Gorilla losing his trousers August 26, 2018 ‘ I’ m probably overindulgent with him’ Elizabeth Hurley reveals the most important September 30, 2018 One s best friends The Queen’ s corgis and their doggy dynasty October 28, 2018 Ruth Wilson will play her own grandmother in this new BBC November 21, 2018 Popular CategoriesFood2704Life2496Fashion2240Beauty1738Celebrity1261Interiors684 Sign up for YOUMail Thanks for subscribing Please check your email to confirm (If you don't see the email, check the spam box) Fashion Beauty Celebrity Life Food Privacy & Cookies T&C Copyright 2022 - YOU Magazine.
