So much was said in 2018 of Meghan Markle’s wedding dress. There was even talk of that fleeting daring moment in which the designer of the dress – Clare Wright Kellerthen creative director of the maison Givenchy – came out suddenly to fix the veil and run away before the bride entered the chapel of St. George in Windsor. And then of course there was the endless serger of the royal watchers: it suited her, it suited her badly, it was too modest, too large, and so on. But where did the inspiration come from in the end? Enough has been said about Angela of Liechtenstein as a possible muse of Meghan Markle?
Meghan, Kate and the case of the bridesmaid Charlotte. Now the tailor speaks
In a recent interview, Ajay Mirpuri, the tailor who packed and then arranged the dresses for the bridesmaids of Meghan’s wedding, throws water on the fire. Six immaculate little dresses that have unleashed nervousness, crises and resentments that seem to have no end
Boat neckline, three-quarter sleeves, monastic cut but with the waist marked by a fitted bodice. No frills or precious applications: it seems that Meghan Markle did not want to challenge that of in beauty in any way Kate Middleton. Of course he didn’t give up the veil: five meters of tulle and a rich floral embroidery that represented the 53 countries of the Commonwealth. Where had we already seen that dress admired worldwide on May 19, 2018?
Almost twenty years earlier, it was Princess Angela of Liechtenstein who wore a nearly wedding dress – if at all – identical to that of Meghan Markle. Born in 1958 in Bocas del Toro, a province of PanamaAlso Angela Gisela Brown (this, her first name) is known in Liechtenstein as a princess «of the people». She grew up in New York, where she had a very normal childhood. She has studied fashion at the highly prestigious Parsons School of Design and has even received theOscar de la Renta Award during the university years. After her career began in fashion, she met the prince in 1997 Maximilian of Liechtenstein, at a party. Three years later the two got married in the Church of St. Vincent Ferrer in New York, and history has it that it was Angela of Liechtenstein to become the first African-American woman to marry a member of a European royal family. And her wedding dress?
Among the many revelations of his book Shootthe Duke of Sussex also reveals to the reader the secrets of the royal casket, also debunking some legends: Diana’s sapphire now on Kate’s ring finger he had not inherited
Angela of Liechtenstein designed the white dress for her wedding by herself (after all, he had studied fashion!). And looking back today on that wonderful dress worn in 2000 – minimal silhouette, boat neckline, three-quarter sleeves – it seems like seeing exactly what Meghan Markle would bring to the world’s attention exactly eighteen years later. Coincidence or real inspiration? Royal family mysteries!
