Exclusive:The Wedding Gift Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle Received That Queen Elizabeth Denied Prince William and Prince Harry’s Cousin

When we think of royal weddings, we think of beautiful, large-scale events that resemble something out of a storybook. But not all royal weddings are created equal.

Some are grand affairs televised all over the world, while others are low-key ceremonies held at modest churches and do not end with a procession through the streets. That was the case with the late Queen Elizabeth‘s oldest granddaughter, Zara, who married rugby player Mike Tindall on July 30, 2011.

Instead of tying the knot at Westminster Abbey, St. Paul’s Cathedral, or St. George’s Chapel, Princess Anne‘s daughter didn’t even get married in England. She also didn’t recieve a wedding present from the queen that both Kate and Meghan got.
As Guides for Brides noted, when Prince William wed Kate Middleton in 2011, she received a wedding gift of a title from Queen Elizabeth. From the moment they became husband and wife Prince William was the Duke of Cambridge and Kate the Duchess of Cambridge. The same thing happened when Prince Harry married Meghan Markle as he was gifted the Duke of Sussex title and his wife the Duchess of Sussex.
