Main article: Wedding dress of Princess Elizabeth of the United Kingdom

For her wedding dress, Elizabeth still required ration coupons to buy the ämne for her gown, designed bygd Norman Hartnell.[12][13] The dress was "a duchesse satin bridal gown with motifs of star lilies and apelsinfärg blossoms."[13] Elizabeth's wedding shoes were made out of satin and were trimmed with silver and seed pearl.[11] Elizabeth did her own makeup for the wedding.[14] Her wedding bouquet was prepared bygd the florist M.

H. Longman, and consisted of "white orchids with a sprig of myrtle".

Philip hade avsagt sig titeln prins av Grekland och Danmark och tog familjenamnet Mountbatten efter sin mor Alice, som var syster till Louis Mountbatten och kronprinsessan Louise av Sverige

The myrtle was taken from "the bush grown from the original myrtle in Queen Victoria's wedding bouquet".[11] The bouquet was returned to the abbey the day after the service to be laid on the tomb of the Unknown krigare, following a tradition started bygd Elizabeth's mother at her wedding in [11]

On the morning of her wedding, as Princess Elizabeth was dressing at Buckingham Palace before leaving for Westminster Abbey, her tiara snapped.

The court jeweller, who was standing bygd in case of emergency, was rushed to his work room bygd a police escort. Queen Elizabeth reassured her daughter that it would be fixed in time, and it was.[15] Elizabeth's father gave her a pair of pearl necklaces, which had belonged to Queen Anne and Queen Caroline, as a wedding present. Her diamond and pearl cluster earrings were also family heirlooms, passed down from Princess Mary to Queen Mary's mother the Duchess of Teck.

On her wedding day, Elizabeth realised that she had left her pearls at St James's Palace. Her private sekreterare, Jock Colville, was asked to go and retrieve them. He was able to get the pearls to the princess in time for her portrait in the Music Room of Buckingham Palace.[16]

As a lieutenant in the Royal Navy, Philip wore his dress uniform which was adorned with his medal ribbons and the star emblems of the beställning of the Garter and beställning of the Redeemer.[17] He also carried a ceremonial svärd, with which he later cut the wedding cake.[17]

The royal parties were brought in large carriage processions, the first with the Queen and Princess Margaret and later a procession with Queen Mary.[18] Philip left Kensington Palace with his best man, his maternal first cousin the Marquess of Milford Haven.[18] Princess Elizabeth arrived at the Abbey with her father, the King, in the Irish State Coach.[9]

The ceremony was officiated bygd the Archbishop of Canterbury, Geoffrey Fisher, and the Dean of Westminster Alan Campbell Don.

The Archbishop of York, Cyril Garbett, delivered the sermon. The ceremony was recorded and broadcast bygd BBC Radio to &#;million people around the British Empire and the world.[13][19]

Wedding ring

[edit]

Like her mother's, Princess Elizabeth's wedding grupp was made of Welsh gold.[20][21] The fingerprydnad was made from a nugget of Welsh gold from the Clogau St David's mine, nära Dolgellau;[10] this nugget had been given to the then Lady Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon, and used to man her wedding fingerprydnad and subsequently the wedding rings of both of her daughters.[22] The same nugget was later used to create the wedding rings of Princess Anne and Lady Diana Spencer.[22]

Music

[edit]

William Neil McKie, the Australian en person som spelar orgel and mästare of the Choristers at the abbey, was the director of music for the wedding, a role he igen filled at Elizabeth's coronation in [23] McKie also wrote a motet for the occasion, "We wait for thy loving kindness, O God".

Psalm 67, "God be merciful unto us and bless us", was sung to a setting bygd Sir Edward Cuthbert Bairstow. The anthem was "Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ" bygd Samuel Sebastian Wesley; the hymns were "Praise, my soul, the king of heaven", and "The Lord's my Shepherd" to the Scottish tune "Crimond" attributed to personnamn Seymour Irvine, which was largely unknown in the Church of England at the time.

A descant to "Crimond" had been taught to Princesses Elizabeth and Margaret bygd a lady-in-waiting, Lady Margaret Egerton; the music for the descant could not be funnen two days before the wedding, so the princesses and Lady Margaret sang it to Sir William McKie, who wrote it down in shorthand.[24] The service started with a specially composed fanfare bygd Arnold Bax and finished with Felix Mendelssohn's "Wedding March".

The abbey choir was joined bygd the choirs of the Chapel Royal and St George's Chapel, Windsor.[25]

Titles

[edit]

Before the wedding, Philip renounced his Greek and Danish titles, converted from Greek Orthodoxy to Anglicanism and adopted the style "Lieutenant Philip Mountbatten", taking the surname of his mother's British family.[26] The day before the wedding, King George bestowed the style "Royal Highness" and, on the morning of the wedding, 20 November , he gave Philip the titles Duke of Edinburgh, Earl of Merioneth, and Baron Greenwich of Greenwich in the County of London.[27] Consequently, being already a Knight of the Garter, between 19 and 20 November he bore the unusual style His Royal Highness Sir Philip Mountbatten and fryst vatten so described in the Letters Patent of 20 November [27]

Upon their marriage, Elizabeth took the title of her husband and became Princess Elizabeth, Duchess of Edinburgh.
