This was recently brought to our notice as an age-old interview video segment of 2018 has resurfaced back on the internet. The Duchess revisited her Givenchy wedding gown in the fall of 2018, months after their marriage, and revealed “something blue”. The former American actress managed to hide the top secrets of her gown for long unless she opened up about it in the interview. According to her, it was her own way to pay a tribute to her relationship with the Prince. In addition to that a homage to her native, California.

Meghan Markle revealed the ‘personal’ alterations to the Royal wedding gown 

On the HBO Queen of the World interview, the Duchess revisited her iconic gown and revealed some romantic yet discrete facts about her and the Duke. She revealed that she had specifically asked her designer and craftsman to add a piece of blue fabric between the gorgeous stitches of the gown. That was evidently from a blue dress that Markle wore on her first date with Prince Harry. It was a blind date set up by their mutual friend at Soho House, London. However, its “not smooth sailing memories” have remained imprinted on their minds forever. 

The second tribute was one that was snuck into her veil. This was a bit personal for the Duchess as the material had nothing to do with the British commonwealth but carried special importance of the place she was born and brought up at. She chose the Californian poppy to constitute her veil which had 53 flowers representing the 53 Commonwealth nations of Great Britain. The silk tulle was gorgeously tucked on her head with the ancestral Queen Mary tiara from the Royal Jewellery collection itself.
