Millions of viewers around the world will be watching with baited breath to catch that all-important first glance of Meghan Markle in her wedding dress on 19 May, but there is one member of the royal family who will have already had a sneak peek at the bride’s beautiful gown – the Queen!
Her Majesty is expected to see Meghan’s designer dress at Windsor in the days leading up to the royal wedding, to ensure she approves of the design.
HELLO!’s royal correspondent Emily Nash explained the tradition while speaking on royal podcast On Heir this week. “We understand that this is royal tradition,” she said.
The Queen also gave the Duchess of Cambridge’s bespoke Alexander McQueen gown her seal of approval ahead of her marriage to Prince William in 2011, and will likely do the same with granddaughter Princess Eugenie ahead of her nuptials to Jack Brooksbank in October.
As the designers behind Meghan’s show-stopping engagement shoot look, it would make sense that the former Suits star chose them to create a dazzling bridal look.
If the rumours are true, we could expect a spectacular full gown on the royal wedding day, as the design duo are famous for their intricate and head-turning looks.
Of course, Meghan’s beautiful black and gold engagement gown was breathtaking in detail, so the fashion house certainly caters to her personal style. We can’t wait to see it!
