Meghan Markle wanted a "modest and classic" wedding dress

The Duchess of Sussex explained that she wanted a "modest and classic" wedding dress, in front of the dress on display at Windsor Castle.

In the audio recording of the exhibition, Meghan said he worked closely with designer Clare Waight Keller to materialize her vision of what she wanted.

Meghan said that she "knew at the beginning" that she wanted a boat neckline and a shortened sleeve.

The dress and veil were created after 3,900 hours of work by 50 people.

The royal couple, who was married in May, is currently in Tonga, in the South Pacific, as they continue their first official tour.

In the commentary of the exhibition, the Duchess said: "I had a very clear vision of what I wanted for the day and what I wanted the dress to look like."

"So, what was great about working with Clare is that sometimes designers try to push you in a different direction.

"But she just completely respected what I wanted to see for the day and she wanted it to come true for me."

The Duchess stated that she wished for a "very timeless and classic feeling" at the dress, which she hoped to be "modest" with regard to the fact that they would get married at St George's Chapel Windsor Castle.

"I knew that making was so important, because the dress itself would be so concealed," she said.

The brightness of the white dress is due to the double bonded silk cady, a woven fabric on both sides of the craft.

The duchess's veil was embroidered with flowers from each of the 53 nations of the Commonwealth.

Meghan said that they understood that Prince Harry would call a "global marriage", but that personal choices would make him more "intimate".

She had previously revealed that her "something blue" was a piece of dress worn during her first date with Prince Harry, sewn somewhere inside the dress.

She praised the designer, saying that Mrs. Waight Keller had chosen "all the British boxes" to reflect the new home of the Duchess and a woman for having worked for Givenchy as artistic director.

The Duchess wore Queen Mary's diamond and platinum headband, which the Queen lent her on the day of her wedding and is also shown in the exhibition.

Visiting the Queen to pick a helmet was "an incredibly surreal day," she said.

The Duke of Sussex, who joined Meghan for the visit, joked that it was "all girls' dream" to try a tiara and that the one who had been chosen was "the one who appeared the best … without question ".

"I should not really have been there, but such an incredible loan from my grandmother was very kind," he said.

His commentary revealed other touching stories of their big day, especially that a cold snap had reduced the number of flowers to pick for his wife's bouquet.

The Duke also explained how he chose the eternal source of Haendel's Divine Light as music to which his wife was walking in the alley.

He said that he was looking for "something completely different" and that he "eventually stumbled on this piece of music".

"Both of us, wherever we are, whatever we do, we can close our eyes, listen to that music and come back immediately," he said.

"It's a beautiful thing for both of us."

The exhibition A royal wedding: the Duke and Duchess of Sussex at Windsor Castle continues until January 6th.
