IT HAS been two years since Meghan Markle said ‘I do’ to Prince Harry in her ivory Givenchy dress by Clare Waight Keller.
And while some were surprised at her choice it was the Queen who was most taken aback according to royal sources.
Speaking to the Mail on Sunday, insiders claimed that the monarch was surprised that Meghan wore a pristine white gown despite having previously been married.
Speaking to the publication they said: “The Queen is said to have expressed surprise that Meghan, a divorcee, wore quite such a white dress for her wedding.”
Traditionally a white wedding dress is symbolic of a woman’s “purity” on her wedding day, and represents the bride’s virginity.
With Meghan having previously been married Her Majesty may have expected her to opt for an off-white gown.
The Duchess of Sussex was previously married to Trevor Engelson having tied the knot on September 10, 2011, at the Jamaica Inn in Ocho Rios, Jamaica.
The wedding was a four-day affair and pictures have since shown drinking games on the beach in the run-up to the big day.
The couple separated just two years after their wedding and were divorced in August 2013, citing “irreconcilable differences”.
