Some secrets leaked out, including one that reportedly brought the Duchess of Cambridge to tears.

Katie Nicholl, a royal expert, and author of The Making of a Royal Romance, revealed that the secret of her dress made Kate cry.
Speaking on Vanity Fair’s royal podcast, Dynasty, Katie said: “The secrecy surrounding it [the dress]… I remember trying so hard to find out who the designer was — every journalist on the planet was.
“And I think hats off to The Sunday Times who revealed it was Sarah Burton for McQueen ahead of the big day, which apparently had Kate in tears behind the scenes, which perhaps hints at some of the stress that she went through in the run-up to the royal wedding.”
She then continued, saying: “And on the day itself, it didn’t really matter, she stepped out of the car and she looked absolutely beautiful.”
A statement released by Buckingham Palace at the time revealed that Kate had worked closely with Burton on the design.
