The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were among the star-studded guest list at the wedding of Misha Nonoo and her oil tycoon fiance Michael Hess in Rome on Friday.
The royal couple were understood to have jetted to Rome on a commercial flight to make it to Nonoo’s big day – minus baby Archie.
The designer, who is one of Meghan’s closest friends, is credited with setting her up with the prince on a blind date in 2016.
She was previously married to Harry’s friend Alexander Gilkes.
Meghan wore a black beaded gown with puff sleeves in lightweight tulle, while Harry sported black tie.
They were not the only royals at the event – Princess Eugenie was among the bridal party as they arrived at the venue, while her sister Princess Beatrice was also in the crowd.
Other big names included Sir Paul McCartney, Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner, James Corden, Orlando Bloom and his girlfriend Katy Perry.
Josh Kushner – Jared’s brother – and his partner supermodel Karlie Kloss were also present.
Nonoo recently collaborated with the duchess on her Smart Set capsule wardrobe for the Smart Works charity.
Buckingham Palace declined to comment on the event.
The Sun’s Emily Andrews reported that the Sussexes were enjoying a bit of downtime before they begin their royal tour to South Africa on Monday.
Empowering women is one of the issues Harry and Meghan will address on a 10-day, multi-country visit, along with wildlife protection, entrepreneurship, mental health and mine clearance – a topic given global attention by Harry’s late mother, Diana, when she walked through an active mine field during an Africa visit.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
