The Queen, however, is obviously not so impressed.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s horrid, isn&#8217;t it? Horrible,&#8221; Her Majesty was heard to say within earshot of the television cameras as she previewed the ghostly wedding-dress dummy late last month.<\/p>\n<p>The Palace is hoping visitors won&#8217;t see it that way. For \u00a317.50, they can parade past Kate&#8217;s now famous dress, until October 3. At least 500,000 people from across the globe are expected to shuffle through.<\/p>\n<p>The tour weaves through the throne room, ballroom and dining room, and into the gardens past Her Majesty&#8217;s private pond.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">Also on display is the top layer of Kate&#8217;s wedding cake, the diamond acorn earrings gifted to her by her parents, the Cartier Halo tiara loaned to her by the Queen, as well as a silk flower replica of her bridal bouquet.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":38617,"template":"","au_article_tag":[904,630,733,586],"class_list":["post-38616","au-article","type-au-article","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","au_article_category-celebrity-weddings-engagements","au_article_tag-kate-middleton","au_article_tag-prince-william","au_article_tag-queen","au_article_tag-royal-wedding-2"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.easyweddings.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/au-article\/38616"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.easyweddings.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/au-article"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.easyweddings.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/au-article"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.easyweddings.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.easyweddings.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/au-article\/38616\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.easyweddings.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/38617"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.easyweddings.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=38616"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"au_article_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.easyweddings.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/au_article_tag?post=38616"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
