At the time of the wedding, the groom was the heir to the Spanish throne. The bride was a journalist. The wedding was presided over by the archbishop of Madrid, Antonio María Rouco Varela, and was watched by 25 million people in Spain alone.[1]
More than 1200 guests attended the wedding, including 36 royal houses and heads of state, including Prince Albert of Monaco; Charles, Prince of Wales, and the Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden.
The wedding was the first state wedding in Spain for more than 50 years, and the first royal wedding in almost a century.[2] It was also the first wedding to be held in the Almeduna Cathedral, which was consecrated in 1993.
