Some additional details advanced by Caras:

- During the wedding ceremony, a symbolic candle was lightened in memory of the late Duke of Cadaval, D. Jaime.

- Before the wedding banquet was served at the Cadaval Ducal Palace, a more informal reception was provided at the Pousada dos Lóios.

- The bride's gown was inspired by the style of the 18th century court of Versailles, particularly by this painting of Jean Antoine Watteau:
L'Enseigne de Gersaint (1720).

- Diana's shoes were made by Christian Louboutin.

- The wedding cake was made by the chef of the Palácio Estoril Hotel and the glace top included the arms of both families, Orléans and Cadaval.

- Before cutting the cake, the groom thanked Duchess Claudine for making possible the wedding of their dreams.

- The couple is going to live in Estoril, near the house of Duchess Claudine.

- Charles-Philippe will continue working as a flying consultant and Diana as manager of the Cadaval estates.

- The couple had a very short honeymoon, since Diana has to organize the Évora Classic Festival.
