Ayda Field reveals nerves over daughter’s Royal Wedding role

Her six-year-old was bridesmaid for Princess Eugenie

There’s a lot of pressure on your shoulders when you’re the bridesmaid to an actual royal couple – and no-one knows that better than six-year-old Theodora Rose Williams.

The adorable daughter of Robbie Williams and Ayda Field walked the aisle behind her family friends, AKA the royal bride and groom, Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank last week – and now her mum has spoken about how nervous she was about the whole thing.

The 39-year-old X Factor judge admitted to the Mirror: “As a mum, you are nervous. Is she going to lose it? Is she going to cause chaos? Is there going to be temper tantrum in front of the Queen?”

Ayda added: “But she was amazing. I was so proud of her. She did such a great job. I had such a proud mummy moment.”

In fact, she says Teddy “totally enjoyed the spotlight… I don’t know where she gets that from!”

In fact, the only slight faux pas on the big day last Friday, at St George’s Chapel in Windsor Castle, was when Teddy spoke to mum-of-the-bride, Sarah Ferguson.

She was caught on video demanding to know just who the Duchess of York was, asking: “Are you the Queen?”

An obviously bemused Sarah, who was making her way back to her car, stopped and replied: “No, I’m not the Queen.”

The princess and her new husband clearly had a blast at their nuptials, and released their official photos earlier this week.

Kensington Palace’s Twitter account posted two pictures of the couple’s big day.

The first shot showed the bride and groom with all their littlest relations and friends, and the caption read: “Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank have today released official photographs from their Wedding Day.

“Prince George and Princess Charlotte were Page Boy and Bridesmaid respectively for the ceremony at St George’s Chapel, Windsor Castle. #royalweddding.”

The tweet was followed by more details of the mini royals, explaining: “Front row (left to right): Miss Mia Tindall; Miss Savannah Phillips; Miss Maud Windsor. Back row (left to right): Prince George; Princess Charlotte; Miss Theodora Williams; Miss Isla Phillips; Master Louis De Givenchy. Photo: Alex Bramall.”

Kensington Palace added another shot with even more guests, writing: “In this second photograph released by Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank, Prince George and Princess Charlotte are pictured with other Members of the Royal Family including The Queen and The Duke of Edinburgh. #RoyalWedding”.

The official Twitter account for the Royal Family also tweeted a couple of snaps.

The first showed the couple sharing a kiss in the Scottish State Coach, upon its return to Windsor Castle following the Carriage Procession.

The account then shared another photo of the newlyweds at Royal Lodge, Windsor, ahead of a private dinner after their ceremony.
