Eugenie Wore the Queen's Brooches in Her Hair at Evening Reception
On her wedding day, Princess Eugenie kept her second look a secret, making some members of the public believe that she hadn't changed into a different dress for the evening reception. However, we now know that Eugenie's second look was designed by Zac Posen, and that she accessorized the outfit by wearing brooches she borrowed from her grandmother, Queen Elizabeth, which she wore in her hair.
In a press release from the palace it was revealed that Princess Eugenie wore a completely different look at her evening reception, including a "hair slide belonging to Her Majesty The Queen."
Doubling as her "something borrowed" throughout the evening, and known as "Queen Victoria's Wheat-Ear Brooches," the pieces date back to 1830, when William IV had them made for Queen Adelaide. Queen Victoria inherited them in 1837, then Queen Elizabeth II did in 1952. The fact that Eugenie was able to wear something on her wedding day that the Queen herself has worn is exceedingly special.
Pictured before their private evening dinner at Royal Lodge with a close selection of guests, Princess Eugenie also wore a special gift from her new husband, Jack Brooksbank. The diamond and emerald drop earrings celebrate the couple's royal wedding, and are a sweet gift to commemorate the occasion.
Eugenie and Jack are also throwing a second day wedding party, with a source telling The Times, "There will be dodgems and funfair rides, coconut shies, lots of food stalls, loads of cocktails, bloody Marys for the hangovers and a festival vibe." And, presumably, a third wedding outfit for Princess Eugenie.
