What length was Meghan Markle's veil?

When Meghan Markle married Prince Harry in 2018, she wore a long cathedral-length veil made from silk tulle. The veil extended well beyond the length of her dress and trailed behind her as she walked. It had a simple, clean edge rather than heavy lace or embroidery, which matched the minimalist style of her Givenchy gown.

The veil was pinned to her hairstyle and held in place with pins and combs. It was long enough to create a dramatic effect in photographs but did not overwhelm her figure. Royal veils are often custom-made and can take many hours to construct.

Your own veil does not need to be this long or elaborate. Choose a length that suits your venue, your dress and how much you want to move freely. If you are planning a wedding abroad or have questions about royal traditions, remember these are not rules for you and you should check GOV.UK for any official guidance.
