Royce opened to cheers from<br />
the crowd, the world caught sight<br />

16ft veil, the radiant bride looked<br />

Steps and entered St George’s<br />
Chapel by herself to begin her long<br />
walk to the altar.<br />

timeless, minimal elegance,<br />
impeccable tailoring and<br />
relaxed demeanour.
