“A sweet anecdote from the big day involves Prince William assisting his bride with her wedding hair – helping to move a 500-year-old mirror so that she could admire her blow dry.
Hair stylist James Pryce explained to People that he gave her a blow dry in between the wedding ceremony and the Clarence House reception, but needed a bit of help from William.
He said: “I wanted to show Kate the back of her hair, and I was struggling to walk with this 500-year-old mirror.
“[William] just said, ‘Let me give you a hand’ and I said ‘No, no, honestly,’ but he took one end and I’ve got the other and we’re shuffling along with this mirror — he’s great, he really is.”
