Did you spot it?
In case you haven’t quite heard yet, there was a royal wedding this past weekend.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, or the Duke and Duchess of Sussex as they’re now known, said ‘I do’ at St George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle.
The first official images of the royal wedding were released a few days later, on the May 21. They were shared by Kensington Palace and taken by photographer Alex Lubomirski.
We’ve already given the three images a thorough dissection, but one thing in particular caught the eye of social media users.
There was a notable difference between a group shot of the senior royals, along with the bridesmaids and pageboys, and a more informal shot of the couple and just the kids.

In the more formal photo, four-year-old Ivy Mulroney and three-year-old Florence van Cutsem are seen holding a bouquet of flowers.
However, in the picture without the senior royals, Florence, who is Harry’s goddaughter, does not have a bouquet.
Which leads to one question: why doesn’t a flower girl have any flowers?
Here’s what people were saying on social media:
It shouldn't bother me but because I know it's meant to be there it really irritates me that one of the flower girls is missing their bouquet in the royal wedding pics

It does, however, turn out there is a reason.
According to the Daily Mail, Ivy – the daughter of Meghan’s best friend Jessica Mulroney – did not have her own flowers as she was responsible for taking Meghan’s flowers once the bride has reached the altar.
So that’s that settled then.
