Prince Harry and Meghan Markle tied the knot in a fairy-tale wedding ceremony at St George's Chapel in Windsor on Saturday.

The much-anticipated wedding saw speculation flying about who would design the dress for the bride and what that dress would look like.

Markle made her appearance to marry her prince in a beautiful white dress and flowing veil.

Kensington Palace tweeted details of the dress and veil:  The wedding dress has been designed by the acclaimed British designer, Clare Waight Keller, the first female Artistic Director at the historic French fashion house Givenchy.

Keller also designed the veil, which represented the distinctive flora of each Commonwealth country united in one spectacular floral composition.

The veil is held in place by Queen Mary's diamond bandeau tiara, lent to Markle by The Queen. The diamond bandeau is English and was made in 1932, with the entre brooch dating from 1893.
