Kate Middleton broke 350-year-old royal wedding tradition marrying Prince William


The Princess of Wales chose to go against a 350-year-old tradition when she and Prince William married at Westminster Abbey in 2011 - and she looked absolutely breath-taking as a result

While it has previously been pointed out how the royal couple broke a long-standing tradition with their bridesmaid dresses and how Prince William did not ask for Michael Middleton's permission to propose, there was another major change on the day. And while everyone was absolutely floored by Kate's stunning £355,000 gown which featured handmade lace and a 9-foot train, it later transpired that she had in fact broken a 350-year-old tradition with her appearance. Pearson explains that royal aides wished that she would wear her brown locks in a sleek up-do, but Kate went against the advice and asked to have her hair down.
