When Meghan Markle walked down the aisle at St. George’s Chapel on May 19, she carried a piece of history with her in the form of a borrowed tiara, taking a style cue straight from Queen Elizabeth herself. Now, here’s the twist—while Her Majesty loved Meghan’s overall wedding look, she reportedly felt that Meghan should have left her veil at home. Why? Well, let me explain.
Why Queen Elizabeth Thought Meghan Should Skip the Veil
According to reports in The Sun, Queen Elizabeth believed it was inappropriate for Meghan to wear a veil during her second marriage. Traditionally, brides only wear veils for their first wedding, and since Meghan had been married before to Trevor Engleson, the Queen thought it would be more fitting for her to rock just the tiara. But hey, traditions are guidelines, not rules, right?
Meghan’s Bold Choice: Veil or No Veil?
Despite the Queen’s advice, Meghan decided to march to the beat of her own drum—or tiara, as the case may be—and wore the veil anyway. And guess what? Prince Harry was fully on board with his bride’s decision. According to a book by reporter Robert Jobson, Harry reportedly told the wedding staff, “What Meghan wants, Meghan gets.” Now that’s what I call true love and support.

“There was a very heated exchange that prompted the Queen to speak to Harry,” an insider revealed to The Sun. “She said, ‘Meghan cannot have whatever she wants.’” The Queen made it clear that while Meghan has the freedom to express herself, she also needs to remember to treat the royal staff with kindness and respect, following family protocols.
