A lip reader previously revealed that Queen Elizabeth II made a “disapproving” comment<\/a> while attending Kate Middleton<\/a> and Prince William’s royal wedding<\/a> on April 29, 2011. Now, a royal expert<\/a> has dished on the one aspect of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s royal wedding<\/a>\u2014which took place on May 19, 2018\u2014the late monarch allegedly “disapproved” of.<\/p>\n

Royal editor and biographer Ingrid Seward discussed Queen Elizabeth’s opinions<\/a> about Harry and Meghan’s wedding<\/a> in the book My Mother and I<\/a>. “The Queen never voiced her true opinions except to her close confidants, such as Lady Elizabeth Anson, or Liza as she was known to her friends,” Seward wrote (via the Daily Mail<\/a>). “She told me that the Queen had made only one remark about Meghan and Harry’s wedding and that was that Meghan’s Givenchy wedding gown<\/a> was ‘too white.'”<\/p>\n

Seward continued, “In the monarch’s view, [the dress] was not appropriate for a divorcee getting remarried in church.” The royal expert also suggested that Queen Elizabeth wasn’t totally comfortable with “the Disneyesque spectacle of the day itself,” although it’s unclear whether the late monarch actually made any comments to that effect.<\/p>\n

As for the aspect of Kate and William’s wedding Queen Elizabeth allegedly “disapproved” of, Deaf forensic lip reader Tina Lannin deciphered some of the monarch’s private remarks. As reported by CBS News<\/a> (via the Daily Mail<\/a>), Queen Elizabeth reportedly said after the wedding ceremony, “I wanted them to take the smaller carriage.” Queen Camilla<\/a> allegedly responded by saying, per Lannin, “It all went very well.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Yahoo is using AI to generate takeaways from this article.
