Why was Beatrice so laborious a maid of honor?

The maid of honor is one of the people the bride is most entrusted with during her big day, but at the royal wedding yesterday it seemed that Princess Beatrice was quite absent from her important role.

Throughout the day, Beatrice seemed to neglect her role and was often next to her mother, instead of Princess Eugenie, with tasks such as arranging the bride's dress before walking down the hall to Prince Andrew and the better man.

While former bridesmaids at other royal weddings have also taken charge of the bridesmaids and the boys on the page, this task was left to Lady Louise Windsor, 14, who fought the steps of the chapel with strong winds.

Beatrice had the opportunity to help her sister again when she climbed into the carriage for a 15-minute procession around Windsor, but again she stepped back and let her father adjust the elaborate train on the bride's dress.

However, instead of evading her duty, Eugenie may have entrusted her sister with the task of taking care of her mother, Fergie, who is single and would have had to enter the chapel alone when she arrived.

It is said that her relationship with some members of the royal family, including Prince Charles and Prince Philip, is tense, and moral support for Fergie may have been more pressing than adjusting the bride's dress.

Not a car in the world: Beatrice looks relaxed, not knowing that her sister Eugenie is out fighting with the train of her dress.

At the beginning of the day, Beatrice and her mother entered the church smiling and waving to the crowd, not caring how Eugenie climbed the steps of the chapel or how the rest of the bridal party was going to enter. church.

Lady Louise was seen taking the role of the bridesmaids and the pages while trying to help them up the stairs while the wind hit some of the children.

The teenager certainly had her hands full, as she had to pick up the children from the ground and escort them to the chapel of San Jorge.

Eugenie had to fend for herself several times throughout the day, and her father, Prince Andrew and her new husband, Jack Brooksbank, had to help her navigate her dress in and out of the vehicles.

She also traveled in the car with the bridesmaids and the patrons before and after the ceremony.

The two made sure the dress train was perfectly stretched before continuing to help Eugenie up the steps.

When Eugenie entered the chapel, the couple was again on hand to make sure her dress was properly arranged for her to walk down the aisle

While Beatrice was sitting quietly chatting with her mother and other guests at the wedding, Eugenie arrived at the chapel, only to not have a maid of honor to help fix the train of her dress.

This was left in the hands of Prince Andrew and another wedding guest to help arrange the tailor-made train of Peter Pilotto.

The couple did a splendid job of helping the train down the steps and Eugenie slipped through the chapel, before the couple had to help her once more with the train at the entrance.

Although she performed tasks outside the church, Beatrice made a moving speech with an exception of the Great Gatsby.

The eight in line to the throne said: "It was one of those rare smiles with a quality of eternal tranquility, which you can find four or five times in a lifetime.

Beatrice managed to fulfill some of her duties and read a speech during the ceremony.

You confronted, or seemed to face, the entire external world for a moment, and then concentrated on you with an irresistible prejudice in your favor.

"He understood as much as he wanted them to understand, he believed in you as he would like to believe in himself and assured him that he had exactly the impression of what, in the best of cases, he hoped to convey.

Precisely at that moment he vanished, and was looking at an elegant and emaciated young man, one or two years older than thirty, whose elaborate formality of speech was far from absurd. At some point before he showed up, I had the strong impression that he was choosing his words carefully.

The touching tribute seemed to go well with Eugenie, who smiled at her beloved Jack while reading the speech.

After the ceremony, once again, they left Eugenie to fend for herself when she had to get into the royal carriage.

Beatrice was looked the other way while her sister and Jack climbed into the carriage before the procession.

After the ceremony, Eugenie had to go to the royal carriage to participate in the procession surrounding the Windsor grounds.

Again, it was the father of the bride who helped Eugenie get into the carriage, since Beatrice was not in sight.

However, it seemed that through Beatrice he approached the end of the day and finally realized his real duties while holding Eugenie's train as he approached the Aston Martin, who was waiting outside Windsor Castle.

Beatrice held the dress train for Eugenie as she walked towards the Aston Martin car.

Beatrice clearly found it difficult to navigate the train and can be seen holding it loosely

The new husband, Jack, had to intervene and help his wife get into the car because Beatrice could not sail alone on the train.

Meghan Markle rejected the tradition by not having a maid of honor or adult bridesmaids.

But the mothers of the children she had named as bridesmaids and page boys were present to guide them to the Chapel of St. George, while Givenchy's assistants made sure their dress was perfect.

Kate Middleton had her trusted sister Pippa by her side all day when she got married in 2011.

Pippa seemed to take the role extremely seriously and was photographed throughout the day taking care of the bridal party, the bridesmaids and the guys on the page and, of course, making sure her sister Kate looked beautiful.

Pippa fulfilled her maid of honor duties up to the tee – and she continually reorganized Kate's train, kept him in the hallway and after the wedding continued to shepherd the bridesmaids and children.

Pippa Middleton led the bridesmaids and godparents of her sister Kate's wedding with Prince William.
