From ELLE

At 11 A.M. on Friday, Princess Beatrice married British property developer Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi in a secret wedding at The Royal Chapel of All Saints at Royal Lodge, Windsor.

A bride with an eye for a vintage look is very much in luck when she's got Queen Elizabeth for a grandmother. Beatrice, 31, borrowed her grandmother's vintage dress designed by Norman Hartnell, as well as the Queen Mary diamond fringe tiara the Queen wore on her wedding day in 1947, Buckingham Palace confirmed in a tweet. The Palace also shared a photo of the Queen and Prince Philip with the bride and groom (at a COVID-safe distance).

The dress, seen in the photo above, was first worn by the Queen at the 1967 State Opening of Parliament and was remodeled and refitted by the Queen's dresser Angela Kelly and local dressmaker Stewart Parvin, tweeted Omid Scobie. Per Hello! magazine, the dress was made from Peau De Soie taffeta in shades of ivory. It's trimmed with ivory Duchess satin and features organza sleeves. Beatrice paired the dress with a half-up hairstyle and and soft makeup.

The royal reporter shared these photos of Beatrice and Mozzi on their wedding day, alon with an E.E. Cummings poem Mozzi shared with his bride:

Hello! reports that, besides the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh, other close family attended the ceremony but remained socially distant, per COVID-19 guidelines. There were 20 people in attendance, per People.

"It was planned for some time, and everyone had to be extremely cautious leading up to the big day because the Queen was in attendance," an insider told the magazine. "They had to make sure everyone who was attending was in perfect health."
