She chose a delicate white veil that was held in place by Queen Mary’s diamond bandeau tiara, lent to Meghan by the Queen. The diamond bandeau is English and was made in 1932, with the entre brooch dating from 1893.

Harry, meanwhile, wore the frockcoat uniform of the Blues and Royals.

The couple will now embark on a carriage ride through Windsor before heading to a reception hosted by the Queen. Later, they will attend a more private reception with their close friends – where the fun really happens!
