Royal Wedding Secrets: William Slept Just 30 Mins!
29 Apr
Summary
- Prince William barely slept the night before his wedding.
- Kate Middleton arrived in a vintage Rolls-Royce, breaking tradition.
- The royal couple had a private afterparty with a Grease lip-sync.
Fifteen years after their iconic wedding, surprising details from Prince William and Kate Middleton's nuptials continue to emerge. The night before their 2011 marriage, Prince William reported sleeping for only approximately 30 minutes, attributing it to the excitement of the crowds gathered along The Mall.
Kate Middleton chose to break with royal tradition, opting for a 1977 Rolls-Royce Phantom VI to arrive at Westminster Abbey rather than a horse-drawn carriage. Her bouquet also held personal significance, incorporating Sweet William as a nod to her groom and myrtle, a symbol of marriage.
The wedding celebrations included an elaborate eight-tier cake that served as the wedding breakfast for many of the approximately 1,900 guests. Later, the newlyweds hosted a more intimate afterparty for around 300 guests at Buckingham Palace, where they concluded the evening with a memorable lip-sync performance to "You're the One That I Want" from the musical Grease.
