By contrast, the Church of Scotland does not consider marriage to be a sacrament, and thus not binding forever, and has no moral objection to the remarriage of divorced persons. Anne became the first royal divorcée to remarry since Victoria, Grand Duchess of Hesse and by Rhine, granddaughter of Queen Victoria, married Grand Duke Cyril Vladimirovich of Russia in 1905. For the wedding ceremony, Anne wore a white jacket over a “demure, cropped-to-the-knee dress” and a spray of white flowers in her hair.

Following the marriage service, the couple and guests headed to Craigowan Lodge for a private reception.
