In the audio guide, the Duke of Sussex also opens up about his groom's outfit. “I chose the frock coat as a uniform, with permission from my grandmother, because I think it’s one of the smartest Household Cavalry uniforms,” he says. “It’s one of my favorites, and I was very fortunate to be able to wear that on the day.”
