Prince Harry and Meghan Markle began dating in 2016, got engaged in 2017, and married in 2018. The late Queen Elizabeth II reportedly advised her grandson to wait a year before marrying the Suits star, but Harry ignored this advice. The wedding proceeded just over six months after their engagement.
The queen was reportedly unhappy with Meghan’s Givenchy gown for the wedding, deeming it “too white with ungainly shoulders.” This dissatisfaction added to the tensions surrounding Markle’s entry into the royal family.
