BEING a royal flower girl was quite likely a dream come true for the little beauties chosen to walk behind Meghan Markle on her big day.
However, official photographs from the Royal Wedding suggest one bridesmaid may have lost her flowers before posing for the camera.
Little Florence Van Cutsem is the only girl in the photos who is empty-handed, despite having a bouquet during the ceremony.
While it appears to be nothing more than a mislaid bunch, all was not quite what it seemed.
The answer to the missing flowers mystery actually lies a few hours earlier during the wedding ceremony.
Earlier in the day, eagle-eyed viewers were quick to notice that it was Ivy Mulroney who appeared to have forgotten her bouquet as she walked behind the bride.
However, all was not as messed up as it seemed, as the child’s empty hands served a very special purpose.
Ivy was seen entering the Chapel holding hands with sisters Remi and Rylan Litt.
On approaching the altar, Ivy dropped hands with the girls to either side of her, freeing her up for a very important role.
As the four-year-old got closer, Meghan was seen turning to her bridesmaids and bending down slightly.
She then reached out and handed her wedding bouquet to Ivy.
Official wedding photos from Kensington Palace show Ivy was handed her own bridesmaid bouquet later in the day – although we suspect it was taken from another bridesmaid.
In one of the official snaps, the little American is seen sharing the bouquet with Florence Van Cutsem.
In another, Ivy is seen enjoying having the flowers to herself, while three-year-old Flo is sat empty handed.
