It is revealed that Queen Elizabeth II did not want Meghan Markle adorning a veil at her wedding to Prince Harry.
Her Majesty did not want Meghan, who had been married once before Harry, to stop following the Catholic Church’s directives for divorced women.
Royal author Tom Bower said: “The Queen also questioned why Meghan needed a veil for the wedding, given it was to be her second marriage.”
The queen’s confidant, Lady Elizabeth Anon, added: “In the monarch’s view, it was not appropriate for a divorcee who remarried in the church to appear so extravagantly virginal.”
Meanwhile, Clare Waight-Keller, who designed Meghan’s dress during her days at Givenchy, said she wanted to make something “timeless” but also “convey modernity.”
The designer added: “In contrast, the delicate floral beauty of the veil was a vision Meghan and I shared, a special gesture that embraces the flora of the Commonwealth, ascending the circumference of the silk tulle.”
