Some girls follow ancient European traditions at their weddings, and many may ignore them today, but Princess Beatrice, granddaughter of Queen Elizabeth II, followed old traditions and borrowed from her grandmother happiness and protection. The most recent bride of the royal family decided to borrow her wedding dress from her grandmother's wardrobe, and her grandmother's wedding crown, which dates back to 100 years ago.
According to British folklore, on the day of her wedding, the bride must adorn "with something new, another old, something borrowed, another blue, and 6 pence in her shoes that her father gives her before the wedding", as the song says (Something old, new, borrowed, and blue, and sixpence in her shoe), as traditions urge brides to wear an old piece of clothing and jewelry as a symbol of the continuity of marriage and the protection of children, and a new thing for optimism in the future, while the pseudo symbolizes borrowing happiness from others, and blue symbolizes protection from envious eyes, while pennies or sharks symbolize prosperity.
Beatrice, 31, wore an ivory satin taffeta dress with diamonds, designed by Numan Hartnell, dating back to 1963, when Queen Elizabeth II wore it at the premiere of "Lawrence of Arabia", and at another official dinner in Rome. .
The dress looked a little different from the situation the Queen appeared in in the 1960s, as it was more voluminous and without sleeves, but designer Stuart Parveen has renewed the dress to look unique to the new bride, according to a press release of Buckingham Palace.
As for the crown that the bride borrowed, it is described as the closest piece of jewelry to the heart of Queen Elizabeth, where she first wore it at her wedding ceremony to Prince Philip in 1947. The crown dates back to 1919, when it was specially designed for Queen Mary, and it was made of diamond beads dating back to A gift given by Queen Victoria.
