| Today Prince Harry and Ms. Meghan Markle are getting married in Windsor at St George's Chapel (Prince Harry and Ms. Meghan Markle: Titles Announcement: The Queen has today been pleased to confer a Dukedom on Prince Henry of Wales. His titles will be Duke of Sussex, Earl of Dumbarton and Baron Kilkeel. Prince Harry thus becomes His Royal Highness The Duke of Sussex, and Ms. Meghan Markle on marriage will become Her Royal Highness The Duchess of Sussex.) |
| The tiara Meghan Markle's wearing today looks very much like Queen Mary’s filigree Tiara. |
| Ms. Meghan Markle’s wedding dress has been designed by the acclaimed British designer, Clare Waight Keller. Ms. Waight Keller last year became the first female Artistic Director at the historic French fashion house Givenchy. |
| The veil is held in place by Queen Mary's diamond bandeau tiara, lent to Ms. Markle by The Queen. The diamond bandeau is English and was made in 1932, with the entre brooch dating from 1893. |
| Ms. Markle's ring has been fashioned from a piece of Welsh Gold, gifted by Her Majesty The Queen. Prince Harry's ring will be a Platinum Band with a textured finish. |

I am so glad for all the thousands of people there, for Harry and Meghan, etc etc that it is a clear day, clear sky, wonderful!!
I love her dress. Absolutely beautiful! It's like a modern take on Queen Silvia's wedding dress. But a better version. :) not to keen on her hair though. Looks slightly messy for a bridal updo. But still waiting for better pictures with hope.
ReplyDeleteHer hair looks fine! I've looked at more pictures now. The dress, the veil and Meghan herself are all very beautiful. I also like that the flowers were small and kept in the same simple elegant way as the rest. Best of all, it all suits Meghan very well and she looks like herself.
DeleteCongratulations Harry and Meghan.
Royalty fan
DeleteIt's also a modern take on Infanta Cristina of Spain
Agree Mrs M, Meghan looks like herself and they both look wonderful.
DeleteI love that the bride did not choose any of the designers that were predicted by the press -- not that they wouldn't have done a good job; it's just always fun to see the press be wrong :-). The Givenchy gown and veil are stunning! It will be interesting to learn something about the tiara (if I'd been betting, my $ would have been on the Spencer tiara). I adore that Prince Harry, Prince William and the little groomsmen are wearing frock coats, THE most elegant military look for such an occasion, imo. Just wish the little girls had been in a lovely pastel hue, instead of boring white.
ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful weather for the event -- everyone needed it, I'm sure, and there it was.
The tiara was Queen Mary's Filigree tiara (also known as Queen Mary's Diamond Bandeau tiara)! I thought she was perfection in every way!
DeleteDon’t really like miss Markle but honestly the dress is beautiful. Her hair, for me are too messy.
ReplyDeleteBut the dress is a VERY good surprise.
Why don't you like her? Do you know her?
DeleteCan I don’t like her ? I also don’t like Marion Cotillard and nobody says something. She is not a member of your family don’t get offended, relax.
DeleteI didn’t like her way before these 2 started dating.
I saw many comments here, and I am not agree with but I respect all the differents opinions, you sould do the same
Agree with you Typhaine!
DeleteThis again? I like Meghan very much for what I was able to know about her. But people have their own opinions! Just cause someone doesn't agree with you, you shouldn't attacked them. As long as people are polite let them speak. Respect people's opinions.
DeleteOk so the “do you know her” is not attacking people or judging my opinions?
Deletewhat?? I wasnt criticizing you. Actually I was talking about others attacking you! No welcome.
DeleteMisunderstanding sorry 😐 my bad
DeleteTyphaine, you are a "tough cookie" to say you do not like Meghan Markle! I hope nobody will be at your throat! Anyway I agree with you.
DeleteWhat a preacher we had, I had to take some redwine to have the strength to listen him :)
ReplyDeleteDidn't watch the ceremony, just the walk down the aisle (to that wonderful, haunting music, which I did enjoy) and the footage of guests...for me this was all about the clothes and decor.
DeleteThe preacher was a bit too much for me. 😂😂 but he spoke with passion.
Deleteloved the preacher!
DeleteIt s good to preache but neither the right time nor the place . Why its always has to be about slave....Its wedding, its about groom and bride not about preaching. Is it 15 minutes fame?
DeleteThis is an incredible Royal Wedding, Harry is Dianas son !
ReplyDeleteUna de las bodas más hermosas que hemos visto,la música y el coro cantando Stand by me realmente espectacular y con el toque personal de los novios. El vestido de corte simple y elegante, un estilo moderno y relax muy al estilo de la novia. Her mother looked so emotional through the whole service, a pround mom. Congratulations!!
ReplyDeleteShe looks fabulous. One of my favourite royal wedding dresses of all time. Love the clean simple lines and bright white. The tiara is perfect, the veil embroidery exquisite and her hair looks lovely up in the chignon. (Can't see ant messiness but I think I must have a slightly different perception of what is messy than some other people).
ReplyDeleteLove the military uniforms, and the outfits worn by the little attendants. The weather is beautiful as well.
Have seen some lovely and interesting outfits worn by some of the guests as well.
A perfect event for wedding and fashion lovers.
I agree with every word you said, @Franny, beuatiful dress with clean lines, everything else would not have matched with Meghans style, beautiful bride, beautiful couple, beautiful guests, beautiful weather, beautiful wedding. I enjoyed it. Meghan's mum went through the ceremony with dignity and grace. Very nice person!
DeleteI like her mother. She was so proud and had still tears in her eyes. No one of her family near by her side what made me a bit sad. But I liked that moment, prince Charles tooked her arm an they went together. Very warm to see
DeleteTotally agree with you Franny. She looks perfect.
DeleteMeghan looked truly elegant in white satin. Her dress looks to be a combination of Mary of Denmark's (bodice) and Carolyn Bessette Kennedy's wedding dresses. The Queen Mary Diamond Bandeau Tiara looked perfect with the dress and the breathtaking lacy veil.
ReplyDeleteMTH
Megan had previously mentioned that she thought the dress worn by Carolyn Kennedy was "perfect" so I was not surprised by her choice of wedding dress
DeleteBeautiful wedding! Beautiful bride!
ReplyDeleteI like Meghan a lot.I do not know her of course ,but the wedding between these to was amazing. She is a women who is just happy to be with her love ,not for titles.Her mither was so sweet to.Meghan will be nr.one as the most popular royal we have today.
ReplyDeletePerfection! Every single moment! Spectacular ceremony bringing everyone together! Loved it!
ReplyDeleteThe only down moment is that they missed the bow and curtsy on camera. How could they miss that? They did bow and curtsy per those in the know..but the camera was elsewhere. I think it panned to Doria as they were on last verse of God Save the Queen and when they came back they were done and ready to walk out. So disappointing. Wanted to see her land that deep curtsy.
Wishing them a long love and laughter filled life! 🇺🇸👰🇬🇧🤴🥂💞
They did bow and curtsey - you can see it in this video at 1:05:50. But it was shown from from high above, so not very easy to see.
DeleteYes I know. I posted this before the video came out and we learned the camera man was in a looking down position. It says I posted at 4:22 PM but that is the time where this blog comes from. I was up at 4 AM Central Time in USA 6 hours behind the UK. It is actually just now 4:49 PM at my house on 19 May 2018 still Saturday.
DeleteOk...nothing special,i was expecting something more for this large amount of money...Kate was lovely though!
ReplyDeleteSame here, I feel like I'm in the vast minority because I wasn't blown away by this wedding..
DeleteI expected something more grand and regal but it was a bit of a let down.
Totally agree. I did like the neckline, but expecting more from the dress and wish the hair was not so messy on such a formal occasion.
DeleteThey said from start this would be a family wedding and not a traditional royal stuffy wedding. He is 6th in line. It reflected them which is what they planned. Kate will be Queen....that dictates a more formal event.
DeleteI knew I would be in the minority here, but I completely agree. For the cost, I don't see where the money went. It's just a plain dress. I didn't expect much when I heard her say in an interview that her favorite wedding dress was the one Carolyn Bessette Kennedy for her wedding to JFK Jr. I thought it looked like a slip. Meghan's hair was messy again. So over that. Minimal jewelry that doesn't really show up. Everything was just so blah. I was surprised Kate wore white/cream. In America, we don't wear that color to a wedding. Only the bride wears white. It is considered to be in poor taste because a guest should not take attention from the bride by wearing the same/similar color. I do hope they will be happy, but she will not be a "style icon" for me.
DeleteI think it was perfect for the two of them and for his position in the line of succession. As someone was saying they actually could have had an even smaller wedding. I also didn't know that Meghan paid for her own gown. Imo, sheer perfect for this couple!
Delete@LeslieR: Kates outfit was pale lemon/yellow, not white or cream.
DeleteJust because "In America we don't wear that colour to a wedding..." doesn't mean that other countries or societies follow that rule; I have no doubt however that any member of the Royal Family or any guest at any British wedding, would care to clash with the brides dress colour.
Thank you @Lesile it was just a plain dress nothing iconic about it 😒 but that seems to be her style lately just boring. However Queen Mary's tiara was lovely and respectful of tradition.
Deleteabsolutely agree, the wedding was a dissapointment for me, the dress, the hair, the make-up... The guests also didn't look interested in the whole thing. I only liked the US reverant.
DeleteKates outfit is a "primrose yellow" and not white or cream.
DeleteAnonymus: Kate's dress was the one she wore for Charlotte's christening and at that time it was described as cream, not lemon/yellow. In any case, it shows up on camera as white. I also understand that other countries have different rules, that's why I said "in America". But since Meghan is American, I was just pointing out that in our culture wearing white to a wedding is not done. Even Oprah Winfrey changed her dress at the last minute when she realized the beige dress she was going to wear looked white on camera.
DeleteA fabulous looking bride. This woman has style and class.
ReplyDeleteQuite different to this embarrassing couple Amal and George Clooney - she's clattering with the eyelids and he is constantly fingering her.
Fingering her????!!!! Are you sure that's what you mean?
DeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteMeghan looks wonderful. The dress is iconic, it will be beautiful looking back 30 years later because of it's simplicity. I had a feeling she would choose this simple style because lace is getting boring...but silk is getting popular again...and after this wedding it'll be more popular I guess many bride will copy Meghan. I don't like the tiara I think there are prettier pieces in the Queen's collection but who knows...maybe her choice was limited of very few pieces, I don't how it works, or maybe she likes it unlike me.
ReplyDeleteI have always been saying that those messy updos that she had when she attended different engagements were okay, but I was 100% sure that on her wedding day she would have a nice and neat updo. Clearly I was wrong. This hairstyle doesn't suit her...I mean even if it wasn't messy, the middle parting looks weird to me. BUT still...she looks beautiful and happy so is Harry and that's what really matters. I'm happy for them!
...she looks beautiful and happy and...mature...tired enough?
DeleteI loved everything about her look and you are so right about that dress. Elegant and it will stand the test of time. The hair was relaxed, but that's what happens unless all that hair is sprayed, pinned, etc into place. I actually loved the tiara. It was Kate's tiara that disappointed me. As far as her choice, it was said that the Queen gave her a fairly large selection, but the larger tiaras probably wouldn't have been her style. This one had bling, but worked with the veil and hair, while still being much like Meghan...understated.
DeleteThey looked so very happy!
Ein elegantes und schlichtes Kleid mit dezentem Schleier - die Frisur ist durch die einzeln herabhängenden Strähnen nicht ganz perfekt !
ReplyDeleteThe dress is a classic timeless one. didn't blow my mind but it was nice. I still like kate's more but Meaghan's still looks better than sofias or Silvia's.
ReplyDeleteMy real favorite are Kate, Margareth, charlene.
I immediately thought of Mette-Marit´s (of Norway) wedding dress! I like Meghan´s too, but to be honest, between Mette-Marit and Meghan, I would still prefer Mette-Marit´s version...
ReplyDeleteDress - simple and elegant. Tiara - gorgeous and in Meghan's style. Hairdo - a bit, just a bit, messy, but beautiful in general. The ceremony was so charming, like almost any wedding is.
ReplyDeleteFirst and foremost I like to Congratulate The Duke and Duchess on the occasion of their Wedding,I enjoyed it a lot.Meghan's dress is of simple elegant's,the veil is also fantastic,every thing from 1-10 it is a 10.
ReplyDeletePrincess Diana is smiling from above for both her boys. It is such a special day.
ReplyDeleteHow do you know?
DeleteIt doesn't get any better than this. What a beautiful, elegant & timeless dress. I was not surprised, I always thought that she would be herself on her wedding day. We would look at these pictures over the years and the dress would never look dated. The veil was delicate and ethereal. This wedding felt incredibly real and loving to me. I rather enjoyed the faces of the royal family during the preacher's sermon, one of the best moments for me.
ReplyDelete😄
Agree! It was all great to me! It was exactly what they wanted ....a reflection of the two of them coming together and bringing both backgrounds together. The sermon was fabulous. The message said EVERYTHING and given some of the vile racist comments in the press I thought he really brought it home with the "love" message beyond a marital love but a love for each other . ..everywhere.
DeleteThe dress is as well perfect for her, because she has a small frame and again she looks real.
ReplyDeleteCorrect me please be did Catherine wear the same dress she wore for Princess Charlotte christening
ReplyDeleteShe did and I think she also wore it to Trooping the colour the year after that 2016?
DeleteYes
Deleteik hoop dat ze heel gelukkig zijn ,dat heeft hij wel verdiend ,wat ik mooi vond
ReplyDeletedat hij ze moeder over al bij betrokken was !!!
She was just gorgeous. The dress was sublime. (Can't understand why her hairdresser didn't pin in the stray strands of hair, but it's just a tiny tiny complaint.) The whole ceremony was great. Still feeling euphoric from all theses miles away. Must have been amazing to be in Windsor today. God bless the Duke and Duchess of Sussex
ReplyDeleteWhat I liked best about the wedding was how much in love they both are, you could see it when they looked at each other and in their smiles. Apart from that, the dress was just OK, not my favorite, but very nice especially the veil. Loved to see all the fascinators and summery outfits. The American reverend seem to go on and on and on, he sounded more Baptist than Episcopalian. I understand why royalty from other countries were not invited, but I'd love to have seen what they would have worn to this wedding.
ReplyDeleteOne of the BBC commentators said he felt this wedding will possibly change the world. I agree. In so many ways it was just a triumph of humanity and all that makes us the only ones aware of our own spirit. I understand that some may have found the sermon delivery a little overly dramatic. But that’s perhaps why it will add an even more memorable facet to the most extraordinary messages. I think these messages will resonate with all generations. There sure is something very special about these two young people and they will have a real impact on their generation and those to come.
ReplyDelete... "change the world"? What great expectations!
DeleteThe sun on that tiara, so beautiful, so shining.
ReplyDeleteOh my godness, she looks so amazing Her dress is so Wow and her eyes are sparkling like Stars over and over fullfilled with love... That moment she was starting her walk to Harry she was the Queen in the church. Harry was so flashed by her and had tears in his eyes, what a Statement for Englisch Royals! For me this couple will be one of the mostly liked of the young european royal generation Love it
