Meghan Markle has been married to Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex for four years now. Their wedding took place on May 19, 2018 in St. George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle, where Elizabeth II has been resting since September 19. The bride, 36 at the time, wore a stunning white dress by Clare Waight Keller, artistic director of Givenchy.
However, the choice of the dress of the Duchess of Sussex had somewhat surprised Queen Elizabeth II. That’s what the book reveals The New Royals by journalist Katie Nicholl, an expert on the royal family. the DailyMail published this Saturday, September 24, the extract of a passage from the book where the journalist writes that: “The wedding day was a great success, although the queen had reservations about the pure white of Meghan’s Givenchy dressdesigned by Clare Waight Keller. According to a source close to the royal family: “The Queen was surprised that Meghan wore pure white on her wedding day. It may be a generation thing, but she thinks if you’ve been married before, you wear off-white on your wedding day, which the Duchess of Cornwall (Camilla Shand) did.” For the record, before being in a relationship with Prince Harry, Meghan Markle was married to television producer Trevor Engelson. Their wedding took place on September 10, 2011 at Jamaica Inn in Ocho Rios.
Elizabeth II “very upset with Harry’s behavior”
In her book, Katie Nicholl also reveals the underside of the preparations for the wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. According to her, the Duke of Sussex would have disapproved of his wife wearing a tiara which belongs to Queen Elizabeth II. “What Meghan wants, Meghan gets!”, he would have cursed. The cousin of Queen Elizabeth II, Lady Elizabeth Andon also testifies in the book: “The period before the wedding was really very difficult for the Queen. She was very upset with Harry’s behavior, with some of his demands and with his way of doing things in his own way (…) Their relationship has been pretty badly damaged by it all.” At the time, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were still living within the royal family.
