5 Royal Weddings From the Movies Almost As Magical as Will and Kate's

This year marked William and Kate's fifth wedding anniversary, and we can hardly believe it's been so long since the already-iconic royal wedding. While you're being wistful going over all the nostalgic photos from the event, don't forget that the movies have tried to capture a royal wedding with as much magic as the real thing. Plenty of historical and fictional royals have tied the knot on screen, so check out these five films that feature opulent royal weddings.

The Duchess

At 17, English noblewoman Georgiana Cavendish (Keira Knightley) weds the much older Duke of Devonshire (Ralph Fiennes) — but the arrangement gets scandalous when he takes up with her best friend.

Marie Antoinette

The Archduchess of Austria (Kirsten Dunst) and the Dauphin of France (Jason Schwartzman) unite in holy matrimony to smooth the alliance between their countries. The elaborate, gorgeous ceremony sets the tone for Marie Antoinette's life as the queen of France — until she loses her head, of course.

The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement

Anne Hathaway's character Princess Mia must get married in order to become queen in this sequel. But after realizing she's not in love with her betrothed, she calls off the ceremony at the alter and has the marriage law changed so she can become queen of Genovia without putting a ring on it.

The Young Victoria

Emily Blunt plays Queen Victoria, England's monarch from 1837-1901, who marries her love Prince Albert (Rupert Friend). Though William and Kate's wedding was in Westminster Abbey, Victoria's was in the Chapel Royal in London, another popular site for royal weddings.

05
Your Highness

Your Highness

The ceremony for Prince Fabious (James Franco) and his newly-acquired fiancée, Belladonna (Zooey Deschanel) is downright silly — for instance, they sing ballads to each other while walking down the aisle. Unfortunately, she's kidnapped by an evil sorcerer just before the vows are complete.
