'A Royal Wedding: HRH Princess Eugenie and Mr Jack Brooksbank PRESS R ELEASE For immediate release: Thursday, 28 February 2019 The exhibition ‘A Royal Wedding: HRH Princess Eugenie and Mr Jack Brooksbank’ opens at Windsor Castle From Friday, 1 March, a visit to Windsor Castle will include the special exhibition A Royal Wedding: HRH Princess Eugenie and Mr Jack Brooksbank. The display includes Her Royal Highness’s wedding dress, tiara and evening gown, Mr Jack Brooksbank’s morning suit, and the maid-of-honour outfit of HRH Princess Beatrice of York. Princess Eugenie’s wedding dress was designed by Peter Pilotto and Christopher De Vos, who in 2007 founded the British-based label Peter Pilotto, known for its innovative textile design and sophisticated cut. Her Royal Highness, Mr Pilotto and Mr De Vos worked closely together on the design of the dress, which has a neckline that folds around the shoulders to a low back, which drapes into a flowing full-length train. In a recording made for visitors to the exhibition, Princess Eugenie explains that she specifically requested a low back to the dress in order to show the scar from surgery she underwent aged 12 to correct scoliosis. Her Royal Highness says, ‘I had always wanted a low back, part of it was showing my scar. I believe scars tell a story about your past and your future and it’s a way of getting rid of a taboo. For me it’s a way of communicating with people who are going through either similar situations with scoliosis or having a scar of their own they are trying to deal with.’ The fabric of the dress, also designed by Mr Pilotto and Mr De Vos, includes a number of symbols that are meaningful to Princess Eugenie, such as the White Rose of York, interwoven with ivy representing the couple’s marriage and their future together. The symbols were reinterpreted in a garland motif woven into a bespoke jacquard fabric. In the recording for visitors, Mr Pilotto says, ‘When it came to the textile…we wanted to engineer the garlands containing all the symbols that were important to Princess Eugenie, so there’s a sense of progression from small to large in a wave-like motif around the whole dress…It was all about the beautiful silhouette but yet the motif adding a sort of richness to the fabric.’ Her Royal Highness wore the Greville Emerald Kokoshnik Tiara, which was lent to her by Her Majesty The Queen. On public display for the first time, the tiara is made of brilliant and rose-cut diamonds pavé set in platinum, with six emeralds on either side. It was made for Mrs Greville in 1919 by the Parisian jewellery house Boucheron in the fashionable ‘kokoshnik’ style popularised in the Russian Imperial Court. Mrs Greville bequeathed the tiara to Queen Elizabeth, consort of King George VI, in 1942. Princess Eugenie’s diamond and emerald drop earrings, which were a wedding gift from the groom, are also on display. Press Office, Royal Collection Trust, York House, St James’s Palace, London SW1A 1BQ T. +44 (0)20 7839 1377, [email protected], www.rct.uk A replica of Her Royal Highness’s bridal bouquet, made from artificial flowers, has been created for the exhibition. Designed by Rob Van Helden Floral Design, the bouquet consisted of lily of the valley, stephanotis pips, baby-blue thistles, white spray roses, trailing ivy and sprigs of myrtle from Osborne House. The myrtle bush at Osborne grew from a piece in the posy given to Queen Victoria by Prince Albert’s grandmother the year that the royal couple bought the house on the Isle of Wight as a family retreat. A sprig from the shrub was carried in the bridal bouquet of Queen Victoria’s eldest daughter, Princess Victoria, at her wedding in 1858, and the tradition has been continued by royal brides ever since. Mr Jack Brooksbank’s wedding outfit was a black and grey morning suit with a vivid blue waistcoat, made by tailors at Huntsman of Savile Row, London. Princess Eugenie’s evening gown was created by the American designer Zac Posen. Mr Posen took inspiration from the beauty of Windsor Castle and the surrounding countryside, and chose a fabric in the blush colour of an English rose. The gown is made of British silk chiffon and incorporates a cape, subtly embroidered with the White Rose of York, gathered at the lower back and draping into a softly pleated full-length train. Also on display are two diamond wheat-ear brooches, lent to Her Royal Highness by Her Majesty The Queen and worn by the Princess as hair slides at the evening reception. On public display for the first time, the brooches were originally commissioned by William IV (1765–1837) for Queen Adelaide (1792–1849) and were inherited by Her Majesty in 1952. The Queen has worn them as both hair slides and brooches. As maid of honour, Princess Beatrice wore a blue dress with an asymmetrical neckline by the London-based couture house Ralph & Russo, and a blue and purple headpiece by British milliner Sarah Cant. The outfits of the six bridesmaids and two pageboys were by the London- based children’s designer Amaia Kids. The pattern on their sashes was based on a work by the American artist Mark Bradford, which was also reproduced on the Order of Service. The exhibition includes the bridesmaid and pageboy outfits of Miss Theodora Williams and Master Louis de Givenchy.

  • NEW ORLEANS NOSTALGIA Remembering New Orleans History, Culture and Traditions by Ned Hémard
    NEW ORLEANS NOSTALGIA Remembering New Orleans History, Culture and Traditions By Ned Hémard It Was Fascination If one happened to miss the Kentucky Derby or the Preakness, he or she can still view the third and final leg of the Triple Crown, the Belmont Stakes, on June 11, 2011. For the Anglophile, however, there’s always the Ascot Racecourse (located in the small town of Ascot, Berkshire). This course is approximately six miles from Windsor Castle, and owned by the Crown Estate. Royal Ascot, one of Europe's most famous race meetings (founded by Queen Anne in 1711), will be held on Tuesday, June 14, 2011, to Saturday, June 18, the highlight being the Ascot Gold Cup. Every year Royal Ascot is attended by Her Majesty, Elizabeth II, and various members of the British Royal Family, arriving at the start of each race day in a horse-drawn carriage with a Royal procession. It is a major event in the British social calendar, and press coverage of what the attendees are wearing often eclipses coverage of the actual horse racing. If one is special, he or she may be invited to the Royal Enclosure. But there are rules that must be obeyed. The official “Royal Ascot” website spells out the dress code: “Off the shoulder, halter neck, spaghetti straps and dresses with a strap of less than one inch and miniskirts are considered unsuitable. Midriffs must be covered and trouser suits must be full length and of matching material and colour.” “Gentlemen are required to wear either black or grey morning dress, including a waistcoat, with a top hat.

    Her Majesty The Queen At 2.40am on 21st April 1926, a princess was born at 17 Bruton Road in Mayfair, London. She was the first child of her proud parents, the Duke and Duchess of York. Shortly afterwards, the baby princess was christened Elizabeth Alexandra Mary in the private chapel at Buckingham Palace. At that time, few people thought that the baby Elizabeth would become Queen. Nobody would have guessed that she would in fact become the longest reigning monarch in British history. But that is exactly what she has done! Marriage In 1947, Princess Elizabeth married Lieutenant Philip Mountbatten in ceremony at Westminster Abbey. The wedding was simple in comparison to modern royal weddings, as the UK was still recovering from the war. In 1948, the couple had their first child, Prince Charles. Two years later, they had a daughter, Princess Anne. Becoming Queen Elizabeth’s father, the Duke of York, became King George VI in 1936, but his reign didn’t last long. In 1952, after a period of ill health, he died at the young age of 57. Princess Elizabeth received the news of her father’s death whilst on royal duties in Kenya. As she was next in line to the throne, the princess had become a Queen. On 2nd June 1953, Elizabeth was officially crowned as Queen at Westminster Abbey. Despite heavy rain, tens of thousands of people turned out to catch a glimpse of the new queen, and they were celebrations across The Commonwealth. A growing family With Elizabeth becoming Queen, the members of her family also received new titles.
