Kate Middleton ‘modern demand’ shocked Palace courtiers on wedding day
Kate Middleton had specific choice for her wedding day vehicle as opposed to tradition
Kate Middleton’s unusual demand on wedding day caused havoc within the Royal staff.
The Princess of Wales, who married Prince William back in 2011, wanted a special vehicle to ride as she accompanied to the venue.
Writing in new book, William and Catherine: The Monarchy's New Era: The Inside Story, royal expert Russell Myers reveals how courtiers were torn with Kate’s choices.
"Courtiers were also surprised when Catherine announced her wish not to travel in the traditional horse-drawn Glass Coach, as used by Diana, Princess of Wales as well as Queen Elizabeth," Myers shared.
"As much as tradition was at the forefront of her mind, Catherine wanted a modern slant on the proceedings and was of the view that she was not yet a 'princess' who would use such a mode of transport."
Kate eventually chose to arrive at her wedding "in a 1977 Rolls-Royce Phantom VI that had been gifted by the manufacturer to The Queen on her Silver Jubilee"
