Prince Harry has strong ties with South Africa. For an international perspective on what Harry’s beautiful bride will wear, Elbeth Gillis shares her thoughts…
Founded in 1997 and renowned for sheer luxury and a sophistication that transcends time, the Elbeth Gillis brand is the hallmark of femininity.
“Meghan’s wardrobe gives us an indication of her personal sense of style, which seems to be enduringly classic,” Elbeth says. “She’s feminine and sophisticated, with a hint of sensuality. She can also be sporty; she’s got a figure that’s both willowy and athletic – lucky woman!
“I think the wedding dress that Meghan will have designed for her will have strong clean lines, maybe with a 1950’s flair, but it’ll still need to consider royal etiquette.

“I imagine a strong, avant-garde lace motif, possibly with long sleeves and maybe even a lace tattoo across the back. Whatever she wears, I’m sure she will be gorgeous!”
Stocked by boutiques around the world, Elbeth takes private appointments in Cape Town, South Africa. At the Elbeth Gillis Atelier, each gown is carefully handcrafted to ensure impeccable fit and quality.
