How Did Princesses Over 70 Become Brides, and Who Did They Marry?

It’s no secret that royal weddings sometimes took place absurdly early, when the bride and groom were barely old enough to say “I do” themselves. But history has its complete opposites, too: brides who were already so old that they could have been a newlywed’s great-grandmother rather than the one standing at the altar. In today’s video, I’ll tell you about the oldest royal brides: Duchess Katherine Neville, Princess Elizabeth of the United Kingdom, and Princess Marie Say. Some of them managed to find the happiness they had long hoped for, even if it came late in life, while others faced unhappiness in marriage.
