Forget Meghan, what will HARRY wear to the wedding

Forget Meghan, what will HARRY wear to the wedding



Since the announcement of Prince Harry's engagement to Meghan Markle speculation has mounted over what we can expect the bride to wear on her big day.



However, Meghan isn't the only one who will need to make a good impression with her fiance also expected to dress the part.



But where as a big white dress is almost certainly a given for the bride it is not as clear what the royal groom will choose to wear.



If he were to follow in his brother's footsteps the 33-year-old would opt for military dress as Prince William did at his nuptials to Kate in 2011.



William wore the uniform of the Colonel, Irish Guards, because he had recently been appointed to this by The Queen and his wedding was a ceremonial one.



However, according to Royal commentator for Sky News, Ceremonial Expert and Officer in Arms Alastair Bruce we are likely not to see Harry is uniform.



Speaking to Cosmopolitan, Bruce said: 'As Prince Harry is no longer a serving officer in the Armed Forces, it is unlikely he will wear a uniform.





'If they choose to marry in St George's Chapel (which the couple have confirmed they will do in May), as the Earl of Wessex did, I would expect he would choose Morning Dress.'



However, Bruce says that if he wanted to the prince would have the option of wearing a uniform and would be most likely to choose the 'Captain in the Blues and Royals part of the Household Cavalry Regiment, which was his uniform while serving.'



MailOnline have contacted Kensington Palace for a comment.



Meanwhile Meghan, 36, is expected to wear a 'classic and simple' gown after previously hinting at what her dream wedding dress would look like.





Before she was revealed to be Prince Harry's girlfriend, the actress, 36, described in an interview how her ideal gown as something that is 'classic and simple', calling Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy's wedding dress 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 cited her the minimalist white gown worn by Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy on her wedding day in 1996 as her all-time favourite celebrity wedding dress.



The classic dress worn by John F. Kennedy Jr's bride was designed by American designer Narciso Rodriguez, who was little known at the time, suggesting he could potentially be in the running to design Meghan's own gown.



The actress also listed some of her favourite wedding dress labels, including French designer Delphine Manivet and Greek-based designer Christos Costarellos.



She declared herself a fan of both Elie Saab and J. Mendel, who may also be in the running to make her dress for the big day.



Other designers believed to be potential contenders 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'.
