Royal Wedding Week - The Guests

Sorry for the delay in Royal Wedding Week posting, I've been dealing with a sick little BabyWP. I think it's Royal Wedding withdrawal, the poor thing. I tried to convince her there'd be another one soon to watch, but we both knew Harry wasn't walking down the aisle any time soon.

Today we look over some of the guests in attendance at Will and Catherine's big day. The uniform seemed to be sensible coats and fantastically ridiculous hats. Two of my favorite things.

Princess Anne's daughter Zara Phillips in Paul Costelloe, with her fiance rugby player Mike Tindall.


Posh Spice wore a dress from her collection. And I actually am a fan of the Victoria Beckham dresses, but this one is just too much of a tent for my taste. Kudos on the crazy tall heels while preggers, though.

Sir Elton John and his partner David Furnish. Why didn't they call me to babysit their new baby?


Samantha Cameron, wife of Prime Minister David Cameron. This hussy, the FIRST LADY OF BRITAIN no less, deemed it proper to show up without a hat. Shame! Shame, Samantha!


The Queen in Angela Kelly. I was not a fan of the color on her at all, but whatever commentator I was listening to said something about daffodils being some sort of significant flower for the monarchy, so obviously she would wear daffodil yellow. So there's that I guess.


Princess Eugenie in a blue foral suit from Vivienne Westwood and Princess Beatrice in a Valentino coat. Well, I must say that I really dislike that Vivienne Westwood suit, but points for going bold. I find the Valentino coat absolutely divine, if a boring choice of color.


Princess Victoria and Prince Daniel of Sweden. As fave EWP commenter Ms. Bettie Boyd will attest, wrap dresses are incredibly flattering. Unfortunately the Princess' wrap dress has this sad drooping bit over her belly. Why did that happen? Otherwise it really is a lovely cut and color on her.


Queen Sofia, Prince Felipe and Princess Letizia of Spain. Prince Felipe was once my bethrothed. He just didn't know it. So I always get a little wistful when I see him. *sigh* The man sure does cut a dashing figure in this military dress. But I must admit he did choose well in his *ahem* *commoner* wife Letizia, she looks positively perfect in this blush ensemble.


Prince Albert of Monaco and his fiancee Charlene Wittstock, a former South African swimmer. I want to wear gloves to weddings.


Prince Charles in his Royal Navy Number One Dress ceremonial suit and Camilla Duchess of Cornwall in Anna Valentine. I've always thought Camilla was a bit of a horse and she seriously is the worst dresser ever, so I'm happy to see that her choice of coat was completely inoffensive. Not great or anything, but I'll take inoffensive from her.


Lady Helen Taylor and Mr. Timothy Taylor. I have no idea who these people are, but check out that flowered coat!


King Constantine and Queen Ann-Marie, the former king and queen of Greece. I had no idea Greece had a monarchy. How former is this former business? Anyone know?


Someone please please explain how Joss Stone got invited to the wedding and I didn't.


I've said it before and I'll say it again, those Middletons sure are pretty to look at. Though I was bored to tears with Catherine's younger brother's reading. Way to make an English accent unsexy, James.


Henri, Grand Duke of Luxembourg, and Maria Teresa, Grand Duchess of Luxembourg


Former British Prime Minister John Major and Norma Major


Earl Spencer, the groom's uncle.


Prime Minister David Cameron had been debating if he should wear a suit. He has been pushing for sensibility in the global recession, but I am so very happy he decided against that nonsense and donned a morning coat. He really would've looked so horrible without it.


Crown Prince WIllem Alexander and Princess Maxima of the Netherlands


Slutty, party girl Chelsy Davy in an Alberta Ferreti suit. Sorry, but I just do not like this girl. Nor her suit.


Carole Middleton in a sky blue design by Catherine Walker, a favorite designer of the late Princess Diana. I think she looked stunning. Those Middletons sure are a good looking lot. Even if they are nothing but a bunch of new money social climbers.



Who wore your favorite look?
