Meghan Markle has already picked her wedding dress designer, according to royal insiders

MEGHAN Markle has already picked her royal wedding dress designer, according to royal insiders.
The Suits actress, who is set to marry Prince Harry at Windsor Castle on May 19, is said to have started fittings for the gown.
It's thought that her friend, stylist Jessica Mulroney, was flown over from Toronto, Canada, on January 10, and spent four days with Meghan - helping her choose the perfect dress.
“We have a wedding dress designer," royal reporter and biographer Omid Scobie told.
"Meghan flew in her close friend and bridal stylist Jessica Mulroney from Toronto to London last weekend where she attended a top-secret fitting at Kensington Palace with the designer...
"They've tried on a number of different designs and are currently whittling it down to pick the best design for the day.”
Meghan ordered a bespoke, custom-made dress during the fitting at Nottingham Cottage, the Kensington Palace home she shares with Harry, according to reports.
The prince made himself scare for the fitting, while Meghan asked for “something simple and classy and very elegant", Omid added.
Jessica is one of Canada's best known stylists, who counts the country's first lady Sophie Gregoire Trudeau among her clients.
Omid also tweeted: "I’m told that they went through a number of options with the designer and Meghan was 'incredibly excited' to see things start coming together.
"Jessica, who is an accomplished fashion advisor and bridal stylist, has helped piece together a number of Meghan’s most recent looks (including her iconic engagement announcement outfit).
"She is also helping with several other wedding day elements.
"Right now only a small, select group of people know the designer’s name, so don’t expect to find out any time soon."
The name of the royal wedding dress designer has not yet been released.
Back in 2016, : "My personal style—wedding or not—is very pared down and relaxed.
"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.
"Delphine Manivet and Christos Costarellos are faves of mine for their uniqueness and beauty.

Israeli fashion designer Inbal Dror was also thought to be a possible candidate, after leaked wedding dress sketches - supposedly ordered by Buckingham Palace - swept the web.
