The most reliable bet, though still unconfirmed, is that Meghan Markle will follow Kate Middleton's lead and choose two different dresses for her big day. One dress, more classic and in keeping with the traditions of the British royal family, will be worn for the ceremony and will require the approval of Queen Elizabeth II herself. A second, more modern dress, better suited to the bride's personal style, will be worn for the reception at Frogmore House, which Prince Charles has organized for the afternoon after his youngest son and daughter-in-law are married.
This is what royal correspondent Emily Nash revealed in a recent interview: “She will have two dresses, one for the ceremony and one for the evening. The plan is for her to change after the ceremony so she can spend the evening in something more glamorous and less restrictive.” Nash also suggests that the first dress, the one for the ceremony, will be a traditional design, with a classic cut, very feminine, and somewhat more demure than Meghan herself would have preferred. However, no expense will be spared on details, as the dress must make a striking first impression, and will therefore feature embellishments such as beading, flowers, and lace. The evening gown will be more low-cut and have a more Hollywood style, allowing her to feel more comfortable as she celebrates her marriage with family and friends.
And the designer of the dress?
In any case, the label will bear the signature of British designers Ralph & Russo, who are increasingly being considered as the creators of Meghan Markle's wedding dress. They already dressed Prince Harry's future wife for her official engagement photos, and everyone is confident they will be responsible for the decisive moment: the wedding, when 162 million television viewers will focus their attention on Windsor Castle and the couple.
Furthermore, some have already taken the plunge, and several British media outlets maintain that Meghan Markle's wedding dress could cost around €110,000.
