Waight Keller also told the press that Prince Harry thanked her for designing the dress for his bride.

\"He came straight up to me and he said, 'Oh my God, thank you! She looks absolutely stunning,'\" Waight Keller recalled. \"Well, I think everybody saw on television -- he was absolutely in awe, I think. She looked just incredible and it showed.\"

The portraits - it has been one of the highlights of the last six months getting to know the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. Their fresh approach to everything they do has inspired us all and the very visible love and commitment to each other and their support and passion for their charities and work is in everything they do. Being part of this extraordinarily historic day was an honour and privilege I will never forget. With love to #meghanmarkle #princeharry #royalwedding
