The wedding of Harry and Meghan took place seven years ago in St George’s Chapel in Windsor – the same church where Princesses have married their Prince Charmings since the 19th century.
Meghan followed in the footsteps of princesses from the past such as Alexandra van Denmark, Louise Margaret van Pruisen, Alice of Albany and Margaret van Connaught.
The Stadsmeijtu-Duchess wore a floor length-made dress made by Audrey Hepburn by the French fashion house Givenchy and Clare Waight Keller, their first female artistic director.

The dress consisted of long sleeves and a bateau hall line, which was a nod to the iconic Givenchy dress in the 1957 film Funny Face and cost £ 100,000.
The dress referred to the codes of the iconic house of Givenchy, with the expert craftsmanship of his world -famous Paris Couture Atelier that was founded in 1952.

Meghan added a personal touch, A piece of blue gingham fabric sewing from the dress she wore on their first date in the zoom.
But instead of singing mice and birds, the Duchess dress concerned the work of 50 people and it took 3900 hours – including eight clothing fittings over the course of four months.
Ingrid Seward, one of the most prominent and respected writers about the British royal family, discussed the wedding in her book, My Mother and I.

The royal biographer wrote: “The queen has never expressed her true opinions, except to her close confidants, such as Lady Elizabeth Anson, or Liza as she was known to her friends”
“Those two words embraced everything she felt about the dramas in the run -up to marriage and the Disneyesque spectacle of the day itself,” according to the Royal Expert.
“According to the prince, it was not appropriate for a separate divorced to be remarried to look so flamboyant virgin.”
Meghan was married earlier between 2011 and 2013 to Hollywood film producer Trevor Engelon.
Queen Camilla, who was previously married to Andrew Parker Bowles between 1973 and 1995, stayed by tradition and chose not to wear white for the blessing for her marriage to Charles in 2005.
Instead, she wore a light blue chiffon dress and jacket with golden embroidery.
Fashion designer Clare Waight Keller, when Van Givenchy, who worked together with Meghan on the dress of £ 100,000, said she wanted to make a ‘timeless piece’, but also transfer “modernity.”
She said: “On the other hand, the delicate flowers beauty of the veil was a vision Meghan and I shared a special gesture that embraced the Commonwealth Flora, which resulted in the circumference of the sides Tulle.”
Remembering the dress for an exhibition of Windsor Castle at the wedding, Meghan said: ‘I had a very clear vision of what I wanted for the day and how I wanted the dress would look like.

‘So what was great at working with Clare Waight Keller, is that you sometimes see that designers try to push you in a different direction.
“But she simply respected what I wanted to see for the day, and she wanted to bring that to life for me.”
Prince Phillip is also said to make comparisons between Meghan and Wallis Simpson, the American divorce with whom Edward VIII abdicated to get married.
Seward claims that he was ‘one of the few on their care’ to be charmed by Meghan and thought it was ‘creepy’ how much she remembered him of the Socialite Simpson.
He even had a nickname for her – Dow, after Simpson, the Duchess of Windsor.
Although Simpson chose twice separate to wear white when she married Edward in 1937, instead opted for light blue.
Katie Nicholl, in her book The New Royals, also reported a similar care of the deceased queen after she was told by a source that the decision to wear White had left her ‘surprised’.
She wrote: “Maybe it’s a generation, but she believes that if you’ve been married before, you wear off-white on your wedding day, what the Duchess of Cornwall did.”
On the day of the wedding, loyal royal observers noticed that the face of the queen was strict when she looked at Meghan in her wedding dress.

Unlike the Disney films and fairy tales that inspired them, the story of Sussexes did not end at ‘Happy Ever After’.
The Hertog and Duchess had a tense relationship with the company and finally decided to move to the US in 2020 and to move to the US and The next year later, attack the family in their Tell-All interview with Oprah Winfrey.
The queen was reportedly sad about their choice, reportedly trusting for a good friend that she was exhausted by the unrest of all this.
The source told Nicholl: “The queen was very wounded and told me:” I don’t know, I don’t care and I don’t want to think about it anymore. “
Seward wrote about the situation: ‘At that moment the queen decided that it was no longer possible to worry about Harry, because he would not notice anyone but his wife.
“No matter how much she kept Harry – and she did – she couldn’t approve how he spoke about the establishment of the monarchy she had spent 70 years.”
The queen’s funeral was the last time that Meghan touched British land – and that was a notorious awkward affair.
The controversial safety struggle of the couple and the emotionally charged interview by Harry with the BBC have further strengthened the gap between them and the royal family.

In the sit-down, the duke said he wanted to reconcile with his family, claiming that his father, King Charles III, was not talking to him.
“There have been so many differences of opinion between myself and part of my family,” Harry said in the interview.
“Of course they will never forgive me for many things, but … it doesn’t make sense to keep fighting anymore.”
As always, the couple will continue to navigate through their lives over the pond in what came after their ‘luckily always after’ marriage.
