Prince Edward, the youngest of the four children of the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh, married Sophie Rhys-Jones at St. George’s Chapel, Windsor Castle on June 19, 1999. Their wedding, which fell in the midst of the busy Order of the Garter/Royal Ascot season in Windsor, featured Garter-themed outfits for their young attendants. Sophie wore a diamond tiara given to her by her new mother-in-law, as well as a suite of black and white pearl jewelry designed by the groom.
