She said: "I had the chance to get married this summer, and it was so much fun.
"Do you think this might be my wedding? I am not sure I looked as smart as Russell Bear does in his outfit.";
The blushing bride borrowed a dress from The Queen for her special day and added statement sleeves to her grandmother's gown.

An insider told magazine Beatrice had not always planned on wearing a dress belonging to her grandmother for her wedding - which was supposed to take place in May but was postponed as a result of the coronavirus crisis.
However, the Princess reportedly had a "last minute change of heart" about her dress and asked to borrow the gown that was also crafted by The Queen's wedding dress designer Norman Hartnell.
As well as the dress, Beatrice also wore the same tiara The Queen wore when she married Prince Philip in 1947 to double up on her "something borrowed".
