I reckon Meghan's more likely to go for something sleek like Princess Charlene. I can see her wanting to distance herself from the Duchess of Cambridge's gown.
As an aside, I think it was the Iranian Queen whose dress was so heavy a bunch of people hacked off half the train before the ceremony. She'd been unwell and could barely stand under the weight of the gown.
Given that this is not her first rodeo, I don't see her doing the whole big white meringue gown thing this time around. Would seem a bit incongruous if she did.
I don't know what Meghan's first wedding was like but lots of women still do the big meringue thing for a second wedding, particularly if their first was done on the cheap or just very low-key.
I doubt it would be considered in good taste to do so in royal circles - unlike "most women", she has protocol and public scrutiny to consider - it's not just a day for her to play princess dress ups, even if she missed out last wedding.
What great photos! Two in particular stood out for me. The Queen Mother giving the nod to the flapper style of the 20s and the photo of Queen Mary. She was an old harridan in her later years but I didn't realise she was always like that. By the miserable look on her face, you'd think she was at a funeral!
In fairness to Queen Mary, they did have to keep still for a while for the photos back then. Plus, she was originally engaged to George's elder brother, who died, so maybe she'd been thinking about that.
But yeah, she totally looked like a tough old broad in later years!
By all accounts she ruled her family with a rod of iron. I remember as a kid and young adult hearing and reading about Queen Mary having her say on various topics. She was probably more Victorian than Victoria if that's possible! Lol.
