(England Twitter)-On Friday, it was widely rumored that the Duchess of Cambridge said ‘no thanks’ to professional makeup help, instead choosing to do her own eyes, cheeks and lips. So was it true? We may never know. But Bobbi Brown confirmed this week that members of the royal wedding party received “makeup artistry assistance” from company makeup artist Hannah Martin. So what was the verdict? Brown, who’s been in the makeup business for more than 20 years, thinks the newlywed was the perfect picture of a blushing bride.
If there was a real winner from the Royal Wedding – apart from the happy couple – then it was the Midland car industry.
Barely an hour passed without a great Midland marque being thrust into the world’s spotlight at the big event – although those mini-buses should be on another region’s conscience.
Princess Diana's wedding to Prince Charles also gripped the nation, and many will have recognised similarities in everything from the red carpets the brides walked down to the way the couples waved to their supporters from the balcony of Buckingham Palace.
But there were also some notable differences.
Some similarities between the two wedding were just a result of both couples following age-old traditions. Both wedding cakes, for example, were white, tiered and very elaborate.
But Prince William said as soon as he got engaged that he would find ways to make it feel like his mother was by his side at his wedding - and taking inspiration from the ceremony she chose was a very touching tribute.
Both have been modified by British coachbuilders and feature fishbowl and bullet proof glasswork to enable onlookers to get a better view of the occupants.
The final tribute to the British car industry was an Aston Martin DB6 Volante which was driven by Prince William when the Royal Couple left Buckingham Palace for Clarence House.
