Royal Wedding gossip throughout history

Royal Wedding gossip throughout history

Well, if you thought the Markle Debacle provided gallons of gossip in the lead-up to yesterday’s royal nuptials you’d be right. But it’s not that uncommon, history is littered with dramas and scandal surrounding Royal Weddings.

Let’s have a bo-peep through the history books.

Queen Victoria

Back in 1840 Queen Victoria, aged 20, having reigned since she was 18, wed her first cousin Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg and Gothan. Umm isn’t marrying your first cousin illegal? I assumed that would cause quite the stir in polite society. I was wrong.

All the gossip was surrounding Victoria and Albert’s wedding breakfast where apparently the couple supposedly served up a “thousand varieties of cake and biscuits.” A thousand. Sounds more like romantic exaggeration than actual fact.

However, it can be confirmed the wedding cake itself had a circumference of nearly three metres and weighed more than 140kg. 

Before being eaten, the cake drew quite a crowd. The “distinctly ruly mob” queued up outside of the store where it was created, waited in line for a glimpse, then trotted into the store two by two to get a peek.

King Edward VIII

In 1936, King Edward VIII publicly abdicated the British throne to wed Mrs Bessie Wallis Simpson, a twice-divorced American-born commoner. Meghan Markle, for the record, has only been divorced once.

It was such a scandal that British media outlets would not publish accounts of their relationship out of a sense of decorum.

The Yanks – loved it and wrote about it all the time.  Some clever locals cut out the gossip stories and posted them to relatives in the UK.

Time magazine published a story about it and newsagents actually ripped the story out of the magazine before they would sell it.

What finally sparked British public awareness of Edward VIII’s relationship with Simpson, and the abdication crisis that might follow, came thanks to the words of Bishop Blunt of Bradford whose pulpit denunciation in 1936 exposed the whole crisis.

With the press no longer gagged, newsrooms hurriedly churned out as much copy as they could in order to satisfy the public’s curiosity. As events moved quickly, the style of coverage also changed, with readers given almost breathless coverage.

Queen Elizabeth II

There was a lot of love for the marriage of Queen Elizabeth II and Philip in 1947. So much so that the public’s love for them is what became the gossip. The Chicago Daily News, reported that the city was “more apoplectic than Brooklyn during a world series, London went wild with carnival abandon.”

The United Press reported that more than 1,000 spectators fainted or “collapsed in the crush.” Twenty-three of them were hospitalised.

Queen Elizabeth’s wedding cake was three metres tall and weighed more than 250kg.

Let them eat cake, indeed.

Prince Charles

It’s a bit gross to think about but Prince Charles was quite the ladies’ man before he settled down.

But the gossipy bit was his rumoured relationship with Diana’s sister, Sarah Spencer.

But she wasn’t the sharpest tool in the shed and tried to cash in on the fame. 

During the period where she dated the prince, Sarah allegedly met two reporters, James Whittaker and Nigel Nelson, at a restaurant and gave them an exclusive report on her royal connection.

She is said to have admitted to having been diagnosed with anorexia, having “thousands of boyfriends”, a past problem involving alcohol, and that she had started keeping a scrapbook of all the press clippings about her royal romance that she intended to “show” future grandchildren.

Charles was apparently furious when he saw the article it’s rumoured that he told Sarah: “You have just done something incredibly stupid.”

But then it gets icky when Sarah claimed to be behind match-making Prince Charles and Diana. She later commented on her sister’s marriage saying “I introduced them. I’m Cupid.”

Ewwww.

Prince Albert II

In 2011, there was gossip aplenty surrounding the marriage of Prince Albert II of Monaco and Charlene Wittstock. 

The Daily Mail report says, “The new Princess Charlene of Monaco tried to flee home to South Africa three times before her ‘arranged marriage’ to Prince Albert.”

She looked miserable on her wedding day and sobbed throughout the ceremony.

These days, however, Charlene seems to have gotten over the gossip that plagued her early days of marriage, calling the rumours “categorical lies”.

She explains her tears, “Everything was just so overwhelming and there were all the mixed emotions because of the rumours, and obviously all this tension built up and I burst into tears. And then I burst into tears some more because I was thinking, ‘Oh no, now the whole world has seen me cry’.”

Sheesh. Meghan Markle’s family dramas are just keeping with tradition, it seems.
