It’s been six years since Meghan Markle and Prince Harry said ‘I do’, but on the special wedding day, Kate Middleton made a direct choice to ensure it went as smoothly as possible, according to reports.
Prince Harry met the love of his life through a friend after discovering her on Instagram. While their love story isn’t written from a Disney story, it’s a modern fairytale most people can relate to. Meghan Markle fell as hard as the Duke of Sussex, and he popped the question while in Botswana in 2017, a year later the big day was ahead. While Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s wedding was watched by millions across the world, Kate Middleton wanted to ensure all eyes were on the blushing bride.
The Sussexes’ royal wedding
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are celebrating their 6th wedding anniversary today, May 19. They tied the knot in a beautiful ceremony at St George’s Chapel, Windsor Castle, back in 2018.
Although millions tuned in to watch the couple share their vows, fans had a further glimpse at the magical day through their Netflix series four years later, after they left The Firm. With behind the scenes photos and private videos, it made the wedding even more special.
600 guests rocked up, including big stars like Oprah Winfrey, who they later filmed a bombshell interview with, and David and Victoria Beckham.
The biggest names from Hollywood were invited.
Meg herself wore a stunning Givenchy wedding gown, accessorized with a long lace veil that was embroidered with the flowers of the Commonwealth nations and the California poppy, to honor her home. Meghan Markle also wore an antique diamond tiara which Queen Elizabeth II lent her for the wedding.
Her father, Thomas Markle, couldn’t attend the wedding over health issues. Instead, the bride walked herself down the aisle half way, where she was met with King Charles’ who wanted to lead her the rest of the way in a sweet gesture.
Kate Middleton recycled her wedding outfit for Meghan Markle’s big day
Most of the royal family members have an impact on fashion, when we see the likes of Princess Kate or the Duchess stroll out in a gorgeous outfit, it sells out.
Knowing this, Kate Middleton knew all eyes would be on every guest to the wedding, so to ensure nothing overshadowed Meghan Markle’s big day, she re-wore an older outfit, according to reports.
With cameras flashing and the special occasion being livestreamed around the world, she didn’t want to upstage the bride.
Her recycled look, the Alexander McQueen coat she had worn to two previous high-profile engagements, (Princess Charlotte’s christening in 2015 and the year after for Trooping the Colour), was for the TV star.
To ensure most of the attention was on the couple, she opted to dig into her closet to wear the cream-colored tailored coat, over something new and out there that would draw all eyes on her instead.
