Royals love tradition, and royal weddings are the perfect place to see some of their traditions. With two royal weddings on the way, I thought it would be interesting to share some royal wedding tradition with you, and tell you which traditions so far we know Meghan Markle and Prince Harry plan not to do, and if Princess Eugenie has a traditional wedding, what she could do.
My personal favorite cake flavor is chocolate. But, the British Royal Family's traditional wedding cake flavor is....
Fruit Cake!
Yes, it is traditional to serve fruit cake at a royal wedding. Some royals who have followed this tradition are: Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip, Prince Charles and Princess Diana, and the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge (William and Kate). But, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have opted for a different flavor of cake. Banana Cake. Apparently, according to People Magazine, Prince Harry loves bananas. Princess Eugenie, has not released anything about her wedding cake, yet.
Another big tradition for the royal family is the gold used in the wedding band. The traditional wedding band is made of Welsh gold. It is a tradition that dates back to the Queen Mum, when she married the future king, George VI. Will Prince Harry give this ring to Meghan Markle? we will not know until they tie the knot on May 19th. As for Princess Eugenie, very few details of her wedding have been released, except for the fact that her wedding has been pushed back to October due to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's wedding, which will take place at the same chapel.
That's it for now. I will keep you updated on not one, but two royal weddings!

I cannot wait to find out more details on Eugenie's wedding. I'm excited for Harry and Meghan, but I know so little about Eugenie that I'm totally curious what she'll choose.
ReplyDeleteThat's a really interesting fact about the wedding cake! My favorite cake flavor is white cake.
