Did the “fairytale wedding” in a Disney’s Cinderella inspire Prince William and Kate Middleton? Were Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie‘s controversial costumes an homage to Cinderella’s wicked stepsisters? A prankster with some design skills released this side-by-side comparison of the royal wedding and the animated 1950 version.
Alas, there’s a bit of trickery involved here: the colors of the outfits worn by the animated characters have been altered from their originals. Of course, that hasn’t stopped the above image from going viral. See the real images from the Disney classic below.

In other royal wedding-related news:
• A British businessman has made a £5,000 ($8,105) bid for Princess Beatrice’s much-ridiculed royal wedding hat, which remains up for auction on eBay.
Duncan Bannatyne, best known as a panelist on the UK reality series Dragons’ Den, says his bid in all in the service of charity. (Proceeds from the hat sale will go to the charities UNICEF and Children in Crisis.) He tells The Daily Mail: “I’d encourage everyone to get bidding to raise as much money as possible – for once I don’t mind if I don’t walk away with the deal.” UNICEF has released a Photoshopped image of Bannatyne wearing the hat, highlighting its resemblance to a lethal alien parasite.
• Budding trendsetter Pippa Middleton has been seen with a stylish grey Modalu handbag on a few occasions now. Most recently, she had it with her following Kate’s royal wedding. Since then, the £149 ($241) leather number has sold-out, and the London-based purse company is honoring Miss Pippa by renaming the purse after her. Such a girl’s dream. (Marie Claire UK)
• Things that are hot due to the royal wedding: British newspapers, Aston Martin cars, and fake tans (apparently due to Pippa Middleton’s liberal use of bronzer at the nuptials).
• When it comes to indulging in some of the world’s finest foods, I’m sure the new the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have their pick. And it sounds like they’re enjoying only the best as they honeymoon in Seychelles: top of the line champagne, quail eggs, and other English treats like Philadelphia cream cheese and Granny Smith apples, says The Sun. Also on the list? Brussel sprouts. Eeeek!
• Next year will see The Queen‘s 60th year on the throne. To mark her Diamond Jubilee celebration, BBC News reports that “60 commemorative woods” will be constructed at Aigas Field Centre in Ross-shire, Scotland.

My love and prayers are always for the joyful Duke and Duchess of Cambridge. I wish them glorious happiness and laughter with my humble honor and privilege shared by emotions. Maybe “Disney” might make with their own life’s story by their permission someday. The story from 1950 is different from their lives and his cousins.
My heartfelt best wishes to William and Kate <3 I hope they are having a fabulous honeymoon
I wish them well but I now wish the the media frenzy would die down. I hope it does for them at least.
I blogged about the similarities between Kate and Cinderella and have received many more hits than I normally do. People globally have made the link themselves by searching ‘Kate Middleton’ and ‘Cinderella’ and finding my blog.
checkou the outfits lol
I am British but now live in the USA. We had the Royal wedding on here and i was sooo proud to be British. William is our future King and thats wonderful, he is so much like his mother, god bless her.
I love the cartoons of the Royals GREAT JOB. lol.
I can never have enough of William and Kate. i have bought every magazine cover bearing their wedding. He reminds me so much of Diana whom I love so dearly. Wish them eternal joy, peace, love and companionship.
I wish them love happiness and a lifetime of great times. let’s hope she doesn’t fall prey to the crap Diana had to put with.
