What “Reservations” Queen Elizabeth II Had With Meghan Markle’s Pure White Wedding Dress?

Meghan Markle dazzled in a pure white boat-neck dress during her historic royal
wedding with the Duke of Sussex Prince Harry. The ensemble was iconic in its own
way and it surely will go down as one of the best wedding gowns in royal
history. Meghan’s veil made a statement as she embroidered it with flowers
representing the Commonwealth countries. There was also the wintersweet flower
that signified the Kensington Palace, while the California poppy paid homage to
her home in California.

Interestingly, the dress designed by Clare Waight Keller was made by a whopping
50 people in 3900 hours. While the world was all praises of Meghan Markle’s
wedding dress, Queen Elizabeth II did not approve of it. The late monarch had
her own reservations about the dress.

MEGHAN MARKLE SHOCKED THE QUEEN WITH HER WEDDING GOWN

In Royals, the bride has to wear off-white on her wedding if it is her second
wedding. This is something that was followed by now Queen Consort Camilla

as well while marrying King Charles III. However, Meghan Markle decided to break
the stereotype by donning a pure white Givenchy dress.

“The Queen was surprised that Meghan wore pure white on her wedding day. Perhaps
it’s a generational thing, but she believes if you’ve been married before, you
wear off-white on your wedding day,” Katie Nicholl has mentioned in her book The
New Royals as quoted

by The Daily Mail.

For the unversed, the Duchess of Sussex’s first marriage was to an American
actor and producer Trevor Engelson. The couple had known each other for seven
years before they finally decided to take the plunge in 2011. However, their
marriage could not survive for long and they ended up calling it quits in August
2013.

Meanwhile, there were also a lot of tensions in the royal family leading to the
wedding. It is reported that the Duke of Sussex had a tiff with Queen’s dresser

Kelly as she was unavailable during Meghan’s dress rehearsal and that prevented
the former actress from getting the tiara.
