Princess Kate, also known as Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, has occasionally broken royal protocol, and her wedding to Prince William in 2011 was no exception. One notable instance was her decision to arrive at Westminster Abbey in the car with her father, rather than in the traditional manner of having her father walk her down the aisle. While this isn’t a major break in protocol, it was seen as a personal choice that set her wedding apart from more traditional royal weddings. Additionally, her decision to wear a dress designed by Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen, which featured long sleeves, was also considered a break from some of the more traditional, less modern styles worn by previous royal brides.Kate Middleton and Prince William’s wedding on April 29, 2011, at Westminster Abbey was a highly anticipated royal event.
