'It was a nightmare'
Royal weddings are all anyone can talk about this week, with Princess Beatrice marrying fiancé Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi last Friday in secret.
Despite photos emerging of the sweet ceremony and Beatrice reported to have broken tradition with her wedding band, it was a different royal wedding that made headlines this week.

I’d never needed a fascinator in my life, and here I was trying to walk this tightrope of “don’t go too big, don’t go too small.” It was a nightmare.’

I’ve got you!”’
