Millions were watching when Prince William and Kate Middleton tied the knot. And nearly every aspect of their special day at Westminster Abbey was obsessed over. But 15 years later, new information about one particular aspect of their wedding has come to light, and it debunks a long-standing rumour about Kate.
It has long been believed that ahead of the big day, Kate took lessons in order to be able to do her own make-up, using products from the beauty brand Bobbi Brown.
But in a brand new interview, make-up mogul Bobbi Brown herself revealed that wasn’t quite the case. Speaking on the Breaking Beauty podcast to promote her new memoir, Still Bobbi, Brown revealed that her products were used, but clarified one misconception, reports the Mirror.
She revealed: “I didn’t do her [Kate’s] make-up. I wish I did. It was one of my artists, Hannah Martin, who’s become quite a sensation in the UK.”
Brown added: “Hannah did give me some information that I should set my alarm and watch. We were texting back and forth, and she’s like, ‘Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God.’

The interviewer asked if the Bobbi Brown brand was allowed to claim credit for the wedding day look, but the founder added: “We didn’t as a company use it- no one did that back then. It wasn’t the right thing to do.”
However, she did add that one of Kate’s staffers wrote a letter on behalf of the royal to Brown saying “how much she appreciated the make-up”, which now hangs in her office.
UK-based Hannah Martin, who did do Kate’s make-up, now has a huge online fan base, where she posts tutorials for her 376,000 Instagram followers.
She has other royal connections, as she has publicly posted about doing make-up in the past for big events for the likes of Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie on their wedding days. But she has never spoken publicly about Kate.
She previously spoke about working with the royals, saying she was stunned when she was first approached to work with the York sisters.
She explained: “It was like, ‘Gosh, this is bonkers.’ And then, like with any clients, you just want to make sure that they feel OK. Like with all relationships, it’s about gaining trust.
“With those [royal] relationships, there have been the odd occasions where there’s been the green light to share [pictures online], but I will never, ever assume that I can share behind-the-scenes photos of any of my clients.
“Every now and again, there’s a green light, but it’s always at their lead.”
