Royals from around the world gathered in London this morning to welcome Catherine Middleton into their rarified world. For the wedding, Kate wore a beautiful gown by Sarah Burton, which reminded me of both Prince Margaret's and Princess Grace's wedding dresses. With her marriage to Prince William of Wales, the lovely Berkshire lass is now HRH The Duchess of Cambridge.

Some of the royal ladies who shared her joy today included:

Mother of the bride Carole Middleton, Queen Elizabeth II and The Duchess of Cornwall
Queen Sonja of Norway and Queen Margrethe II of Denmark
Princesses Eugenie and Beatrice of York
Crown Princess Katherine of Yugoslavia
Queen Sofia of Spain and Letizia Princess of the Asturias
Anne Princess Royal
Maxima Princess of Orange
Lalla Salma of Morocco
Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn of Thailand
and royal bride-to-be Charlene Wittstock
