I've heard her books are very controversial so that's why I took it with a grain of salt but I do wonder if Litchfield made it back in time before they left for their honeymoon cause he did say development of photos back then was about 3 to 4 hours to long. And if my calculation is correct he musta finished the shoot around 2pm and the couple left at 4pm. I also do wonder about the mystery photo it very much puzzles me I'm still inclined to beleive it was a descrption error on the author's part. I shall definitely post it when I'm done with it, last night I finished the conversions now I just have to piece everything together and upload it.
Alright checked my dvd for confirmation cause I realized all this time I've been saying the photoshoot session was 30 mns long but I never really did go back and check that he 100% had said 30 mins and not 40 mins I was just drawing from recollection. I hadn't watched my dvd in a while. So I can now confirm 100% and straight from the BBC broadcast that Lord Lichfield says he has half an hour to take the official portraits which will be taken right after they step off the balcony. He then goes on to say he has name cards which will tell each individual where to stand he says he will finish those off later in the morning he also says he will start off with the largest group and keep going till he gets to the individual photos of Diana. He also speaks about the whistle he will use to keep everyone in order. So I dunno where they got the 40 mins from but in another book I did read he has cameras taking all at the same time from 5 different angles. Thought tbh if you look at the portraits it certainly doesn't look like they're taken from 5 different angles. He also says he wants to sneak in a few informal poses.
In the People Magazine article entitled "Good Show" written about a week prior to the wedding they said Diana and Charles would cut the cake at 1:00pm which could be true because there was some sort of gap from 12:37pm when they arrive to 1:10pm when they appeared onto the balcony.

Also I don't remember if it was Kitty Kelly's book or a different one but it mentions Charles wanted the wedding to be at the Abbey not St. Paul's though if I recall correctly Charles mentioned how he specifically always wanted to marry at St. Paul's so I doubt that's true.
Ahh here's the quote:
Quote:
|
Prince Charles chose St. Paul's Cathedral rather than Westminster Abbey because the fine accoustics would enhance the music he wanted played.
|
and here's the other one, though it seems I was wrong I think they are talking about Prince Phillip not Prince Charles
Quote:
|
He was stifling his own annoyance that the wedding had not taken place in Westminster Abbey

Alright now this description definitely matches the picture we have:
Quote:

Resulting from Lichfield's suggestion to Charles that he might lean towards the seated Diana, the striking fairytale image dominates the first six spreads in Life magazine's Scenes from a Marriage: the Story of a Love that Didn 't Last

Alright this is interesting...

and the five-foot high wedding cake, baked by navy cooks at Chatham, was cut, using Prince Charles's naval sword.

Quote:
|
Charles cut the cake with his ceremonial sword, Andrew proposed a toast, Charles replied, and Diana had her first taste of Navy rum, added to the wedding cake at her husband's special request. Whether or not it was the Navy rum at work,

The Princess of Wales - Google Books
From the same book....
They opened champagne.
Also that same book says unlike Fergie who's wedding breakfast took place in the State Dining Room Diana and Charles held it in the Ball Supper Room
Another funny quote:
Quote:
|
At the wedding breakfast afterwards at Buckingham Palace, Edward and Andrew stood at the door with football rattles and took it in turns to ... Later they teased Diana for calling Prince Charles 'Philip' during the wedding ceremony.
|
Prince Edward
VERY strange considering Sarah says in her book she was told "toasts" were not traditional at a wedding breakfast. These are her exact words
Quote:
|
"At one point we raised a glass , yet no one made a toast, for that was not traditional! "
|
Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson, July 1986
I wonder if Patrick Lichfield was at the ceremony though when introducing him the BBC announcer said "he's got something else to do today" and Patrick himself said he would be at the palace later in the morning finishing up last minute details for the photo session.
