Westminster Abbey was the location for the marriage of Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson. A worldwide TV audience of 500 million watched the occasion. Miss Ferguson sported a bridal dress with a 17ft train. The Queen conferred Andrew with the title of Duke of York just 90 minutes before the ceremony. Prince Edward was best man and Prince Charles read a lesson. The new Duchess of York mistakenly repeated Prince Andrew's middle name, Christian, and agreed to obey her husband - a clause omitted by Princess Diana in her 1981 marriage to Prince Charles. The Duke and Duchess had two daughters: Beatrice, born in 1988, and Eugenie, born in 1990. The couple divorced in 1996.
