See Meghan Markle, Princess Charlene and more royals’ final rebellious outfits

Every photo of a royal wedding dress has been pored over by fans, from the intricate detailing to the sentimental additions, but very few have taken the time to note the outfit before the big day – the one that marked the end of their single life.

The Princess of Wales, her late mother-in-law Princess Diana, and Princess Charlene chose the final ensembles that epitomised their pre-royal style, before they were officially bound by stricter rules and regulations.

From colourful jumpsuits to short mini dresses, see the pre-wedding dresses worn by Meghan Markle, Zara Tindall and more…

Princess Anne’s daughter Zara hosted a very swish pre-wedding boat party on the Britannia in Edinburgh on 30 July 2011, the night before she married rugby player Mike Tindall.

The royal bride-to-be looked stunning in a one-shouldered mini dress with white and blue ruched material and ruffle detailing, alongside neutral heels and a brown clutch bag.

On the eve of her wedding to Prince Harry in 2018, the Duchess of Sussex was spotted arriving at Cliveden House with her mother Doria Ragland.

Meghan left the bridal white for the church, opting for a navy ‘Barwick Dress’ from Roland Mouret featuring an asymmetric off-the-shoulder neckline, a nipped-in waist and a midi skirt with feminine ruffled detailing.
