After months of anticipation, Meghan Markle has finally revealed her wedding gown to the world – and she certainly didn’t disappoint.
The American actress looked absolutely beautiful as she stepped out of her car at St George’s Chapel and revealed her gorgeous ivory gown.
The Palace has revealed acclaimed British designer, Clare Waight Keller, who is the first female Artistic Director at historic French fashion house Givenchy designed the gown. Meghan chose delicate white veil. The veil is held in place by Queen Mary’s diamond bandeau tiara, lent to Ms. Markle by The Queen. The diamond bandeau is English and was made in 1932, with the entre brooch dating from 1893.
Meghan arrived at the chapel with her mother, Doria Ragland.
Prince Harry arrived ahead of his bride with his brother Prince William. The pair walked to the entrance from the top of street, passing thousands of cheering well-wishers and offering a nervous smile.
Both princes looked smart in their formal uniforms. Kensington Palace said of their outfits: “Both Prince Harry and The Duke of Cambridge will wear the frockcoat uniform of the Blues and Royals.
“Her Majesty The Queen gave her permission for Prince Harry to get married in his uniform.”
