Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are now excitedly expecting the arrival of their royal baby, with a due date predicted for later this month. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex married in May 2018 in their spectacular royal wedding at St George’s Chapel. Amid all the frenzied speculation from royal watchers surrounding the big day, Meghan managed to keep one crucial detail a secret – and it was something Kate Middleton had not managed to keep under wraps for her 2011 wedding.

Podcast “Royals”, from Australian magazine New Idea, heard from royal commentator Angela Mollard in an episode from May 2018.

Ms Mollard spoke about the Duchess of Sussex’s stunning Givenchy wedding dress and said: “I loved the fact that [Meghan] kept it a secret.

“There was so much discussion about who it was going to be – we thought it was going to be Ralph & Russo.”

She added: “Kate hadn’t managed to keep Alexander McQueen’s Sarah Burton a secret.”

Kate Middleton’s wedding dress itself was a surprise on the day of the wedding but the designer, Sarah Burton for fashion house Alexander McQueen, had been leaked in the media beforehand.

Clarence House would not confirm this at the time, as they stated: “Catherine Middleton wishes to keep the designer a secret until the wedding day.”

Ms Mollard also addressed criticism that Meghan Markle’s wedding dress was not the best fit.

She said: “I absolutely loved it. 

“I just loved the silhouette. It was very old-school Givenchy.”

Ms Mollard added: “I’ve never seen a more beautiful wedding dress in official photographs.”

Another highlight for Ms Mollard was Sarah Ferguson in attendance on the big day.

She said: “I really loved that Fergie was there.

“It felt inclusive [and] kind.”

However, royal body language expert Judi James, speaking on podcast “Pod save the Queen”, gave her opinion that Fergie was “insecure and vulnerable” at the wedding. 

Ms James said: “Her body language I found very touching actually, she had to walk in by herself.

“She was clearly doing a good act of lowering her own status, it was as though she was creeping in via the servants’ entrance.

“I thought that was a bit of a shame and it was unnecessary.”
