Meghan Markle has £40k wedding dress repeatedly altered after ‘health kick’ ahead of wedding to Prince Harry

SLIMLINE Meghan Markle has had to have her wedding dress altered several times after losing a “significant amount” of weight ahead of next month’s nuptials.

The actress, 36, has needed multiple fittings with designers Ralph and Russo after asking them for an “ornate and intricate” gown costing up to £40,000.

A source said: “It’s a breathtaking dress and more of a show-stopper than Kate Middleton’s wedding gown, but it also adheres to royal etiquette.

“Her shoulders, for example, will be covered in the chapel.

“Like most brides, Meghan has been on a bit of a health kick and has lost a significant amount of weight.

“Accordingly, she’s had at least three fittings at Kensington Palace, with the dress taken in each time.”

Australians Tamara Ralph and Michael Russo, known for extravagant embroidery, frills and sequins, designed the outfit for Meghan’s engagement photos.

Meghan wore a £300 Self-Portrait floral green dress as she joined fiancée Prince Harry to promote the next Invictus Games in Australia.
