Details about Meghan Markle’s wedding dress won’t be revealed until she walks down the aisle on May 19, but there are some rules the former Suits actress has to follow when she says “I do” to Prince Harry at St. George’s Chapel. Even though she is an American celebrity, she must follow British traditions.
Her wedding dress, for example, will be made by a British designer and it will certainly be conservative, Marlene Koenig, a royal historian who runs the blog Royal Musings, told Newsweek in a phone interview on Friday.
“Don’t expect low cut. Don’t expect sleeveless,” she said. “This is a traditional church where they say, ‘wilt, ‘thou’ and ‘thine.’ It will have to be a British designer. I’d be very surprised [if it wasn’t].”
Markle won’t wear spaghetti straps, in other words, but she could be relatively daring, opting for half sleeves. When Duchess of Cambridge Kate Middleton married Prince William in 2011 she had long sleeves, but that could have been because her wedding was in April.

Markle will be accessorized with British jewelry. “There will be a tiara loaned by the queen.
