Zara Phillips Covers Tatler October 2011

Yay for another Royal cover star! While Kate Middleton has the whole Princess Di elegant look about her, Zara channels the everywoman, hence the appeal! It's great to see her gracing a magazine cover, and the fact that it's Tatler really speaks volumes about her presence in fashion. At the end of the day she is still part of our Royal Family and it's great that us Brits are embracing that.

I personally would have preferred a full body shot for the cover because she has a great figure, but hopefully there will be some of those in the editorial! We're not sure what her grandmother will make of the coverline "RILF" though; but then again, can we be sure that the Queen subscribes to Tatler?

The Official Royal Wedding portraits

Hugo Burnand had the honour of taking the official Royal Wedding photographs. These are the three portraits that have currently be released. Oh to have been a fly on the wall during the private dinner!

The Royal Wedding through UK front pages

What a better image for the front page of a newspaper than the Royal kiss on the balcony? It was such a memorable moment that nearly all of the main newspapers featured it on their front page. And quite rightly so. 

Happy Royal Wedding Day

Fashion Compendium is abandoning its duties tomorrow as I am off to attend a Royal Wedding Best of British party on the other side of the country (dressed as one of the Queen's corgis no less!) and the owl is coming with me!

Whilst I won't be blogging about the event as it happens, my Blackberry will remain a permanent fixture in my hand, and I will be tweeting live throughout the day. Our Twitter name is @fashcompendium if you don't follow us already. I'll be looking forward to hearing all of your opinions about the all-important dress and every other little detail.

Be sure to visit throughout the rest of the Bank Holiday weekend when we will have given the blog a royal update and have the essential lowdown on what promises to be the wedding of the century.

Enjoy Friday - and of course, congrats to Wills and Kate!
