Lord Frederick Windsor, the son of Prince and Princess Michael of Kent, has married actress Sophie Winkleman in the Chapel Royal at Hampton Court Palace.

The bride, best known for her role as Big Suze in TV's Peep Show, admitted she "wept throughout the whole thing."

About 400 guests, including Princess Eugenie, Lady Annabel Goldsmith, Jane Asher and singer Bryan Adams attended.

Lord Frederick Windsor, 30, 31st in line to the throne, proposed to the 29-year-old actress on Valentine's Day.

Senior members of the Royal Family, including the Queen and the Prince of Wales, were unable to attend, but the Duchess of Cornwall's daughter Laura was there with friends.



The chapel, where Henry VIII married Catherine Parr in 1543, was decorated with white and pale pink flowers, including roses and jasmine garlands.

The bride wore a dress designed by Roza Couture, with a three-metre (nine-foot) train. The groom was dressed by Hardy Amies - a favourite designer of the Royal Family.

The couple, who have been together for two years, fly to Los Angeles on Sunday - not for a honeymoon, but in time for the bride to start work on a new television series.

A spokesman said the couple turned down a "life-changing" amount of money from a celebrity magazine offering to cover their wedding, opting instead for a more intimate celebration.

A family spokesman said: "It's been a beautiful day - perfect English weather and a couple deeply in love."

Congrats to the happy couple!
