Royal weddings <\/a>require an intense amount of planning, even for those members of the family who aren’t quite as much in the spotlight. When it came to the September 2009 nuptials of actress Sophie Winkleman<\/a> and Lord Frederick “Freddie” Windsor<\/a>, the bride was slightly more hands-off than usual\u2014and apparently, her laid-back stance completely backfired.<\/p>\n

Sophie recently opened up to the Telegraph<\/a> about her Hampton Court Palace wedding to Lord Frederick, whose father, Prince Michael of Kent<\/a>, is Queen Elizabeth’s first cousin. The Two and a Half Men actress admitted that life was so busy at the time that she let her future mother-in-law, Princess Michael of Kent<\/a>, take the reins on planning.<\/p>\n

“It 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,” she told the outlet. “So 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.”<\/p>\n

Sophie paid so little attention to the details that she now regrets her wedding hair<\/a>, sharing, “my hair was so disgusting, and Freddie still gets upset about it. It was just disgusting.”<\/p>\n

And as for her gown, Princess Michael of Kent did the choosing, with Sophie noting that it “was very sweet and puffy, but I looked barking.” (British to American translation: crazy).<\/p>\n

The Peep Show actress continued that Princess Michael “sort of took it all over, and I actually didn\u2019t mind at all. I thought, \u2018Great, do everything.’ I was concentrating on this acting job and saying goodbye to my darling granny, who wasn\u2019t very well, and just doing other stuff.”<\/p>\n

However, Sophie\u2014who frequently joins the Royal Family for events like Royal Ascot<\/a> and Princess Kate’s annual Christmas carol service<\/a>\u2014said she wishes that she could go back and switch up her wedding day look. The mom of two admitted, “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.”<\/p>\n
