1 They Wed in a Very Small and Intimate Ceremony
Charles and Camilla, both previously married before, opted to have a small civil ceremony at Windsor Guildhall with just their family in attendance. Not even Charles’ mother, Queen Elizabeth and father, Prince Philip, attended the trading of vows.
2 The Ceremony Was Followed By a Celebration
After the intimate service, the future King celebrated his vows with a reception at the royal residence. One wedding guest recently told Slingo that the celebration was “a heck of a party.”
3 A Former Butler Was Invited
Former royal butler Grant Harrold, who worked for Charles for seven years, was shocked when he got a “personal invite” to the celebration. “I hadn’t been there long enough [as staff] to go, but I got a call from Clarence House saying the Prince and the Duchess would personally like to invite me to the wedding,” he said.
4 It Was “A Heck of a Party”
Speaking of the nuptials, Harrold declared it a “joyous occasion” and revealed that the after-party was a blowout. “It was amazing! An amazing day, an amazing venue. There was a blessing, then they had the reception at Windsor Castle and that was a heck of a party,” he said.
5 There Were Lots of Royals and Celebrities in Attendance
He added that there were a lot of celebrities and royals on the guest list. “It’s not like your average party, there’s the Queen, there’s Princess Anne, Prince Edward, there’s Stephen Fry. Every time I turned around there was another [famous face],” he said. “It was a joyous occasion and great fun. I was outside when you saw William and Harry chasing after the cars as they drove off.“ae0fcc31ae342fd3a1346ebb1f342fcb
