Royal weddings are the crème de la crème of the royal family.
They're watched and adored by millions all over the world, and remembered for many decades to come.
But that's not to say that royal weddings go on without a hitch. There have been plenty of cases of scandal ruining a special day.
Here are 10+ royal weddings that couldn't escape scandal.
Before his daughter's wedding, Thomas Markle was caught doing a number of bizarre things. This included staging photos with the paparazzi to make money and help his reputation.
It was then reported that he wouldn't be walking Meghan down the aisle following an alleged heart attack.
There is still speculation that he faked this too.
Since the couple had a civil wedding, the Queen was forced to skip her son's wedding ceremony.
The Telegraph reported that she had to put her duties ahead of her family feelings.
She didn't "want to set a precedent that could damage the Church of England," per The Telegraph.
She was, however, able to attend the Guildhall at Windsor Castle for the Service of Prayer and Dedication afterward.
Their big day was pretty much perfect... except for flower girl Grace van Cutsem who went viral for looking unimpressed when Kate and William shared a kiss on the balcony.
Yep, she pulled a Ross Gellar from Friends! According to CBS, she said I "take thee Philip Charles Arthur George," therefore switching Charles's first and middle names.
Since this marriage was so scandalous, it was covered by The Crown.
Simpson was still married when she got involved with the King. She later divorced her husband (divorce is also frowned upon by the royal family) to marry Edward.
Can you say awkward? This was Cressida Bonas and Chelsy Davy, two exes he's on good terms with.
What's even more surprising is that Meghan must have signed off on it!
No, not the Black-Eyed Peas Fergie. We're talking about Sarah Ferguson, Duchess of York.
Her daughter, Princess Eugenie, married Jack Brooksbank in 2018.
Fergie called the snub "so difficult" while on The Oprah Winfrey Show. "Because I wanted to be there with my girls … to be getting them dressed and to go as a family."
Footage showed her crying all throughout her wedding.
But instead of tears of joy, they were tears of sadness over learning that Albert had fathered a third love child.
We're certain Fergie wasn't too happy about this... Her wedding was shown on ITV instead since the BBC was reportedly worried that not enough people would tune in.
This stems from the fact that Charles and Camilla had feelings for each other at the time.
They would later start an affair in 1986, according to Charles's authorized biography.
"I knew she was in there, of course. I looked for her. ... So walking down the aisle, I spotted Camilla, pale gray, veiled pillbox hat, saw it all, her son Tom standing on a chair. To this day you know—vivid memory," she told biographer Andrew Morton.
Every bride's nightmare, amirite?!
Thankfully, a royal jewelry house was on standby. They were able to weld it back together just in time for the wedding.
After all the drama with her father, only Meghan's mother, Doria Ragland, attended.
To put that into perspective, 600 people attended the royal wedding!
Although most likely a coincidence, it's certainly awkward that they share a wedding date with Adolf Hilter and Eva Braun.
They were married on April 29, 1945.
This wasn't revealed until Meghan's sitdown interview with Oprah.
Meghan set the record straight on the reports that Meghan had made Kate cry.
"And I don't say that to be disparaging to anyone, because it was a really hard week of the wedding, and she was upset about something," Meghan told Oprah.
"But she owned it, and she apologized and she brought me flowers and a note apologizing."
