Lady Gabriella Windsor’s wedding daynearly included a royal mishap — involving her diamond tiara!
The newlywed, who tied the knot with Thomas Kingston at St. George’s Chapel in Windsor Castle in May, revealed that her walk down the aisle didn’t exactly go off without a hitch.
“Suddenly I could feel my tiara start to pull back and in those few unnerving moments I thought it would come crashing down with an almighty clunk,” Lady Gabriella, 38, toldHello!magazine. “My little bridesmaids had accidentally wandered on to my very sheer tulle 20-ft. veil. I slowed down until they’d stepped off it, but then it happened again.”
Luckily, her stylist had expertly secured the sparkling accessory. “Fortunately my hairdresser had pinned the tiara in place, and it stood firm.”

Gabriella, or “Ella” as she’s known to friends, also shared that she didn’t let any of her family members help in designing her dress.
“I wanted to surprise both of my parents on the day, so worked closely with Luisa without any family seeing the dress as it came together until my wedding day,” she said.
