Who was married at Saint Paul’s Cathedral?

One of the most famous weddings to take place at Saint Paul’s Cathedral, London, was that of Diana, princess of Wales, and Charles, prince of Wales (later Charles III) on July 29, 1981. The choice was unusual as most heirs to the throne have been married at Westminster Abbey, London. The closest precedent was the wedding of Arthur, prince of Wales (elder brother of Henry VIII), to Catherine of Aragon in 1501. More recently, Melanie (“Mel B”) Brown of Spice Girls fame wed hairstylist Rory McPhee at St. Paul’s Cathedral on July 5, 2025. As a member of Order of the British Empire (MBE), she was entitled to a wedding at the cathedral.
