Lady Frederick Windsor, previously known as Sophie Winkleman<\/a> and a British actress best known for her work on Peep Show and Two and a Half Men, is used to being in the spotlight. But in a refreshingly honest interview with The Telegraph<\/a>, Lady Frederick Windsor<\/a> has let on that not all royal weddings are like fairy tales\u2014just not when it comes to hair.<\/p>\n

Winkleman, 44, wed Lord Frederick Windsor in 2009. Lord Frederick Windsor, is the son of Prince and Princess Michael of Kent<\/a>. Prince Michael is a first cousin of the late Queen Elizabeth<\/a> II, making Lord Frederick a second cousin to King Charles<\/a> III and is currently 54th in the line of succession to the British throne<\/p>\n

But, she recounts the rush of wedding bells and future demands didn’t leave much time for pre-wedding beauty preparations.
\u201cIt was such a blur because we had to move to Los Angeles the day after [the wedding], and I had to start a brand new job the day after that,\u201d she recalled. \u201cSo we got married on Saturday and moved everything, our whole lives, out to America the day after. And I\u2019d been so concentrating on the work that I hadn\u2019t thought about the wedding.\u201d<\/p>\n

The outcome? A royal hair “don’t.” \u201cWhich meant that my hair was so disgusting, and Freddie still gets upset about it,\u201d Winkleman admitted with characteristic humor. \u201cIt was just disgusting.\u201d<\/p>\n

Regarding her attire, Winkleman disclosed that her in-law, Princess Michael of Kent, took charge. \u201cShe sort of took it all over, and I actually didn\u2019t mind at all. I thought, \u2018Great, do everything,\u201d she said. \u201cI was concentrating on this acting job and saying goodbye to my darling granny, who wasn\u2019t very well, and just doing other stuff. But now I look back on it and think I should have worn a simpler dress, and I should have got my hair blow-dried by someone who\u2019d done it before.\u201dIn spite of the hair disaster, Winkleman speaks only praise of her royal in-laws. \u201cFamily isn\u2019t always brilliant, but this lot are very sweet. I love all of them,\u201d she shared.Now a mother of two daughters\u2014Maud, age 11, and Isabella, age 8\u2014Winkleman has turned her attention to contemporary parenting issues, such as the dangers of screen time. Working alongside social psychologist Jonathan Haidt and actor Hugh Grant, she’s become a vocal critic of over-use of screens in schools, going so far as to make a speech at the Alliance for Responsible Citizenship<\/a> conference in London.<\/p>\n

Looking back on her own royal wedding<\/a> day, Winkleman’s goofy crackle reminds us that even the most star-studded affairs can have their flawlessly imperfect moments. And sometimes, a bit of “disgusting” hair is just part of the story.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Lady Frederick Windsor, previously known as Sophie Winkleman and a British actress best known for her work on…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":141340,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7708],"tags":[61205,1760,61201,61202,8821,5105,7710,519,24553,448,61204,61203,19698],"class_list":{"0":"post-141339","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-royals","8":"tag-alliance-for-responsible-citizenship","9":"tag-king-charles","10":"tag-lady-frederick-windsor","11":"tag-princess-michael-of-kent","12":"tag-queen-elizabeth","13":"tag-royal","14":"tag-royal-families","15":"tag-royal-family","16":"tag-royal-wedding","17":"tag-royals","18":"tag-screen-time-concerns","19":"tag-sophie-winkleman","20":"tag-the-telegraph"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114591034516557755","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/141339","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=141339"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/141339\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/141340"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=141339"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=141339"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=141339"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
