Royal Wedding venues
Royal weddings are a grand affair, with a long history of celebrations that have influenced wedding traditions in Britain and beyond.
When it comes to venues, the British royal family seems to have a few favoured spots for their nuptials. Here is a list of some of the most notable royal wedding venues:
St. George's Chapel, Windsor Castle
This venue is a relatively recent favourite among royals. Prince Harry and Meghan Markle exchanged vows here, and Princess Eugenie followed in their footsteps by choosing the same location for her wedding to Jack Brooksbank. With a capacity to accommodate 800 guests, St. George's Chapel boasts Gothic-style architecture and a grandiose vaulted stone ceiling.
Westminster Abbey, London
Westminster Abbey has been a go-to venue for royal weddings since the Middle Ages. The tradition was started by King Henry I, who married at this London location in 1100. The venue has since hosted the weddings of numerous royals, including Queen Elizabeth II and the Queen Mother, Princess Eugenie's parents (Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson), and Prince William and Kate Middleton in 2011.
St. Paul's Cathedral, London
St. Paul's Cathedral, with its grand architecture and the second-largest dome in Europe, has been the setting for some iconic royal weddings. Prince Charles and Princess Diana, the parents of William and Harry, had their wedding ceremony here in 1981. The venue also hosted the wedding of King Henry VII's son, Prince Arthur, to Princess Catherine in 1501.
Chapel Royal at St James's Palace, London
Queen Victoria and Prince Albert chose the Chapel Royal for their wedding in 1840. Despite the rain and violent gusts of wind, the royal couple's procession made its way from Buckingham Palace to the chapel, where the ceremony took place.
These venues have witnessed the weddings of generations of royalty and have played a role in shaping wedding traditions, not just for the royal family but for the nation as a whole.
