Royal Wedding: Prince George and Princess Charlotte perform special roles at ceremony

Prince George, 4, and Princess Charlotte, 2, both played a vital part in the Royal Wedding of Prince Harry, 33, and Meghan Markle, 36, today.

The two young children of Kate Middleton, 36, and Prince William, 35, performed the role of page boy and bridesmaid respectively, alongside eight other children.

The five page boys held Meghan’s long train as she made her way up the steps of St. George’s Chapel, Windsor Castle.

The little bridesmaids were helped up the steps by their mothers, including Kate Middleton and Meghan’s close friend Jessica Mulrony.

Kensington Palace released a statement during the royal wedding ceremony outlining what the page boys and bridesmaids were wearing.

It reads: “The bridesmaids each have flower crowns selected by Prince Harry and Ms. Markle, which have been designed by florist Philippa Craddock.

“The Bridesmaids’ flowers replicate the flowers used in the bridal bouquet.

“Clare Waight Keller designed the six young Bridesmaids’ dresses in the Givenchy Haute Couture Atelier in Paris.

“The dresses were designed to have the same timeless purity as Ms. Markle’s dress.

“Each dress is sculpted in Ivory silk Radzimir, and is high-waisted with short puff sleeves and hand finished with a double silk ribbon detail tied at the back in a bow.

“The Bridesmaids’ dresses include pockets and pleated skirts to create a relaxed and luxurious silhouette.

“The Bridesmaids are wearing white leather Aquazurra shoes; each pair is monogrammed with the Bridesmaids initials, and the wedding date. “The shoes are a gift from Ms. Markle to the young ladies as a keepsake of the special day.

“The four Pages are wearing a miniature version of the Blues and Royals frockcoat.

“The uniform draws its insignia from the Blues and Royals, which is an old Regiment of The Duke of Cambridge and Prince Harry. Both are also wearing Blues and Royals frockcoats for the Wedding Day.

“The frockcoats are made from blue doeskin, single-breasted in style with a stand-up collar and completed with figured braiding of Regimental pattern.

The figured braiding has been scaled down for the Pages, as otherwise it would have gone above their shoulders.

“As a special memento, each Page has their initials embroidered in gold on their shoulder straps. The Pages are not wearing hats or white waist belts for practical reasons. 

“Their leg garments are made from blue/black wool barathea with three-quarter scarlet stripes fastened with a leather strap.

“The uniforms were cut and made by the tailors Dege & Skinner in Savile Row.”
