Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue! If your grandmother was Queen Elizabeth II, wouldn’t you take advantage of her seemingly endless wardrobe? Princess Beatrice did, and I can’t blame her one bit. The British royal quietly wed Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi in a private ceremony on July 17 and she chose meaningful attire for the occasion.

In a couple of newly-released wedding photos, you can see Beatrice and Edoardo exiting The Royal Chapel of All Saints at Royal Lodge in Windsor looking blissfully in love. Her short-sleeved gown is a vintage design from Norman Hartnell, and originally belonged to the Queen herself. She paired the dress with a mid-length veil and the Queen Mary diamond fringe tiara, which the Queen borrowed from her own mother for her wedding day. What a sweet gesture from grandmother to granddaughter, and vice versa.

Ahead, get a closer look at Beatrice’s full wedding day look and then take a trip back in time to see Queen Elizabeth wearing the special tiara.
