King Charles was “in awe” of Meghan, Duchess of Sussex’s wedding dress.
Clare Wright Keller, the designer of the custom Givenchy gown, has revealed that the then-Prince Charles - who walked Meghan down the aisle in the place of her estranged father Thomas Markle - was inquisitive about the special embroidery that paid tribute to the Commonwealth.
She told Vanity Fair of her conversation with the 74-year-old royal: “King Charles was just in awe of the dress and the [veil] embroidery, and he asked me about it while we were waiting inside the nave.”
The exquisite dress featured three-quarter-length sleeves and a bateau neck and was accompanied by a beautiful veil representing the Commonwealth.
The veil was five metres long and made from silk tulle with a trim of hand-embroidered flowers in silk threads and organza.
