It started when her favourite daughter Princess Beatrice
decided to marry His Serene Highness Henry of Battenberg. Probably no one was
more aware than Queen Victoria that it was a bit of a come-down for an English
Royal Princess to marry a Highness of some tiny, unrecognisable principality in
Germany. To quiet the many voices of outrage, she decided to keep this wedding
small and simple; with only relatives and the closest of friends attending.
Then came a note from one of her other married
daughters, announcing that as a Crown Princess of Germany, she could not lower
herself to such level as to attend a wedding that included a nobody.
Well, that did it!
Dispensing with small and simple, the Queen invited
as many wedding guests as she could accommodate.
On the Wedding Day, to the sound of Wagner’s Bridal March,
Princess Beatrice walked down the aisle with ten bridesmaids, supported by her
mother, Queen Victoria on one arm, and her none-too-happy brother Prince of
Wales, on the other.
At the reception, the guests were served a Royal Wedding
Breakfast of twenty-two courses, ending with the Wedding Cake. A three-tiered concoction,
the Wedding Cake was topped with cupids and a vase filled with sugar and marzipan
bouquet of flowers.
And to top it off the German Serene Highness was made
into a British Royal Highness for the rest of his life.
In your face, Crown Princess of Germany!
