Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan reveal the one thing that didn’t go to plan at their wedding
When Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan tied the knot on May 19, it was estimated that 2 billion people across the globe tuned in to watch their ceremony.
Despite the pressure of fans tuning in from all over the world, many helping hands on deck and months of intricate planning, even the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s big day faced some last minute hiccups.
In a series of interviews recorded for an exhibit currently on display at Windsor Castle, titled ‘A Royal Wedding: The Duke and Duchess of Sussex’, the couple shared one mishap they faced on the morning of their wedding.
After the royal wedding, Kensington Palace informed fans that Harry personally picked the forget-me-nots that featured in his bride's bouquet.
“We have a very small garden here that we had been planting things in the fall for and what was really special, I think, was that the morning of the wedding Harry went in and he picked some flowers to go into my bouquet, which was really beautiful and something that makes it sentimental and really meaningful,” says Meghan in one of the interviews, reported Vanity Fair.
However, the flowers, which were reportedly Princess Diana’s favourite, caused some issues for the 34-year-old groom.
Harry explained: "We didn’t have as many flowers in our little garden as we had hoped for because I think it snowed at Easter! That kind of ruined the whole thing!”
In the end, Meghan’s bouquet looked beautiful, containing a mix of sweet pea, lily of the valley, astilbe, jasmine, astrantia as well as myrtle.
The 37-year-old former actress is not the only royal who had some issues with her wedding bouquet.
When the Queen got married in 1947, the then-Princess Elizabeth managed to lose her flowers.
David Longman, who designed Princess Diana’s bouquet, revealed during an interview: “It got lost. So in the middle of their honeymoon, they had to get dressed up again in their wedding clothes and my father had to provide another bouquet for those photographs."
Longman added, “Now we make two bouquets so that doesn’t happen again.”
