Royal Wedding Mishap: Ben Fogle's wife causes royal stir
19 Jul
Summary
- Ben Fogle's wife Marina dashed across the Abbey aisle as Queen Elizabeth II arrived.
- The incident occurred two hours before the royal wedding ceremony began.
- Queen Elizabeth II arrived last, adhering to royal protocol and wearing butter yellow.
At the 2011 wedding of the Prince and Princess of Wales, TV presenter Ben Fogle shared an amusing behind-the-scenes mishap. Guests were asked to arrive two hours early at Westminster Abbey. During this time, Fogle's wife, Marina, needed a restroom and, accompanied by her sisters-in-law, made a hurried dash across the aisle.
This unexpected movement occurred precisely as Queen Elizabeth II was making her formal arrival. The late Queen, who was the most senior royal present, adhered to protocol by being the last to arrive before the bride, stunning in a butter yellow outfit. Fogle admitted to feeling red-faced during the incident.
Although Marina's arrival predated the Queen's, the timing of her dash down the aisle, just before the monarch, caused a stir. The article also notes other minor mishaps, such as David Beckham wearing his OBE medal on the wrong lapel. Ben Fogle's connection to Prince William stems from filming a conservation show in Africa, and through his wife's family, who had prior relationships with William.
