The Isle of Wight is a hidden gem of royal wedding history. It's home to Osborne House, the romantic bolthole of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert. This sunny spot was the setting for the wedding of their second daughter, Princess Alice, who was one of Prince Philip's great grandmothers. Alice's little sister, Princess Beatrice, wed at the nearby Church of St. Mildred at Whippingham, and was clearly a beautiful bride as her great, great grandson is the endlessly handsome King Felipe VI of Spain.
You can visit both places, and a trip to Osborne will also offer the chance to see the famous myrtle trees whose leaves have been used for royal bridal bouquets for decades.
