14 Royal Wedding Shoes With a Secret — And the Brides Who Wore Them

Fourteen royal wedding shoes with a secret, and the brides who wore them, from Grace Kelly's lucky penny in Monaco in 1956 to the letters C and D painted on the soles of Lady Diana Spencer's shoes in 1981. Meghan's pale blue soles, the spare pairs made for a future queen, a second pair for the evening, and the heel that a bride chose so her husband would not look shorter. For each pair: who made it, what was hidden and where the shoes are today. 0:00 14. Grace Kelly, Monaco, 1956 3:18 13. Princess Eugenie, Windsor, 2018 6:09 12.
