It may have not been officially a 'royal' wedding, but when Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall's daughter Laura Parker Bowles walked down the aisle with aristocrat Harry Lopes on May 6, 2006 at St Cyriac’s Church, in Wiltshire, England, the nuptials were every bit the fairytale. Like Pippa Middleton in her own gorgeous 2017 wedding, Laura looked like a true princess bride for the idyllic country affair. And the couple's guest list boasted seriously royal credentials, attended by Princess Margaret's daughter Lady Sarah Chatto, Prince Charles, Prince Harry and last but not least Prince William, who was marking one of his early public appearances with then-girlfriend Kate Middleton. Harry – a 29-year-old former Calvin Klein model turned accountant – and Laura, a 27-year-old art gallery manager, saw their big day draw a crowd of 2,000 outside 16th-century St Cyriac’s in the tiny village of Lacock. The joy was clear as Laura wed her boyfriend of eight years, with guests and wellwishers cheering the newlyweds as they emerged as husband and wife.
