She and Prince Harry may have only just announced their engagement, but there is already a huge amount of speculation about what she’ll be wearing on the big day.
And now, it has emerged that Meghan Markle has previously hinted at what her dream wedding dress would be.
Long before she met Prince Harry the actress, 36, described in an interview how her ideal gown as something that is ‘classic and simple’, describing Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy’s wedding dress as her ‘everything goals’.
Meanwhile, she also said the fairytale gown worn by her Suits character Rachel Zane was ‘not my personal style’, saying that she’d prefer something more ‘relaxed’.
This suggests that Meghan’s wedding dress is likely to be rather different to the Duchess of Cambridge’s traditional gown by Alexander McQueen, which she wore to walk down the aisle in 2011.

Speaking in an interview with Glamour about her dream dress, Meghan said: ‘Classic and simple is the name of the game, perhaps with a modern twist.
‘I personally prefer wedding dresses that are whimsical or subtly romantic.’
Explaining how she wouldn’t choose a gown like the Anne Barge dress worn by her character in season 5, she added: ‘It’s not my personal style, because I’m a lot more relaxed than Rachel but I love that I got to play dress up in this gown.’
Meghan also listed some of her favourite wedding dress labels, including French designer Delphine Manivet and Greek-based designer Christos Costarellos.

She also declared herself a fan of both Elie Saab and J. Mendel, suggesting that they could be in the running to make her dress for the big day.
Other names believed to be in the running to design her gown include Antonio Berardi, Erdem and Jenny Packham.
Meghan’s remarks during the interview with Glamour also suggest her now husband-to-be Harry won’t be getting a glimpse of her gown before their big day at Windsor Castle in the spring.
Despite describing herself as ‘very superstitious’, she said she did not believe it was bad luck – but did say she would ‘prefer sticking with traditions’.
Meghan’s dress is also unlikely to be like Kate’s traditional Alexander McQueen dress, after describing her style as ‘relaxed’
