If Kate Middleton is having any butterflies in her stomach on the eve of her wedding to Prince William, she will not let them keep her from applying her make-up herself.

The latest Royal Wedding news is that Kate has turned down professional make up artists, and is confident she can handle the job of turning herself into a beautiful bride. London makeup artist Arabella Preston has given the bride-to-be make-up lessons, and though Arabella was first intended to be with the bride as she prepared to walk down the aisle, will no longer be needed, according to wedding planner Mark Niemierko.

Who knew that it is actually considered normal practice members of the royal family to do their own makeup? According to Niemierko, it is:

"The royals obviously do their own makeup for royal engagements. Part of the whole protocol of learning to be royal is learning how to do your own makeup!"
