The traditional ceremony was noted for the inclusion of African-American culture. After her uncle refused to pay for a coming-out party, she moved south and met a navy pilot to whom she was married to for a decade . After a stint in what is now Beijing, Simpson married the American-Brit Ernest Simpson, with whom she moved to London for a fresh start. Once there, the couple was solely focused on climbing the social ladder and moved in the elite circles of British society, eventually meeting Prince Edward.

The bride's bouquet, designed by Philippa Craddock, contained "forget-me-nots, scented sweet peas, lily of the valley, astilbe, jasmine and astrantia, and sprigs of myrtle from a plant grown from the myrtle used in the Queen's wedding bouquet". The flowers were chosen by the groom who handpicked forget-me-nots in honour of his late mother Diana, Princess of Wales. With a wide-grinning Prince Harry and a beaming Meghan Markle , the royal wedding photographs taken by Alexi Lubomirski, a protege of Mario Testino, look simply stunning. Captured in nearly identical poses to the royal wedding photographs taken of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge on their wedding day, the official portraits are filled with little smiles and a warm expression by the Queen. The couple married in France in 1937 with few friends and no members of the royal family in attendance.

"Elegant coat dresses are the go-to style for attending a royal wedding," a source from What Would Kate Do? Tom and Lorenzo added, "She won't want to compete with the bride, nor will she want the press to have any reason to think she tried to."
