How Princess Beatrice’s wedding dress ‘caught the attention of the nation’

The Duchess of Cambridge’s stunning lace bridal gown, designed by Alexander McQueen, pulls in 14,000 searches a month – more than triple the searches for all royal gowns.

The dress, which boasted an elegant Victorian bodice, a delicate V-neckline, and long, lace-embroidered sleeves was estimated to cost £250,000.

The gown, as it adorned a future Princess and Queen Consort of England, was rich in meaning, with hand-cut images of roses, thistles, daffodils and shamrocks (the national flowers of England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales).

It was particularly fitting as Kate holds titles in England, Scotland and Northern Ireland, and will become Princess of Wales when Charles ascends the throne.
