In the fourth episode of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s Netflix docuseries, Harry and Meghan, the former Givenchy artistic director reflected on designing the duchess’ gown for her 2018 wedding to Prince Harry. “It has to be flawless, it has to be perfect.” On 19 May, 2018, Meghan walked down the aisle at St George’s Chapel wearing the Givenchy dress designed by Waight Keller. “I had a very clear vision of what I wanted for the day, and what I wanted the dress to look like, and so what was amazing in working with Clare is that sometimes you’ll find designers try to push you in a different direction,” the duchess said about the dress, which was put on display as part of a royal wedding exhibition at Windsor Castle in 2018. “Obviously with respect to the environment we were in and St George’s Chapel, being really modest in what it would look like, I knew that the tailoring was so key, because the dress itself would be so covered up.” The final three episodes of the duke and duchess’ Netflix docuseries, Harry and Meghan, were released on Thursday, 15 December.
