The Duchess of Gloucester?s wedding dress was unusual in that it was a very pale pink. I know that because that shade of palest pink became almost instantly fashionable for British brides and my aunt, who married in the late 1930?s, had her wedding gown made the same.

It was said later that Alice, who was about 34 when she married, wanted something a bit more flattering to her skin tones than stark white, and designer Norman Hartnell obliged. Apparently George V (at that time very ill) had a say about the bridesmaids? outfits as he stated he wanted granddaughters Elizabeth and Margaret of York, who were two of them, to look ?pretty and girly?, so Hartnell put them in pale pink organza to match the bride.
