Ex-colleague talks about the strict rules at the royal wedding

Duchess Meghan (39) and Prince Harry (36) have been married for over three years. A lot has happened since their wedding: The two welcomed their children Archie (2) and Lilibet Diana (1 month), resigned as senior royals, moved from England to the United States of America, and told talk show host Oprah Winfrey ( 67) gave a scandalous interview about her past in the British palace and accused the royal family of racism, among other things.

Despite all these high-profile situations, the couple’s 2018 wedding is still talked about today. Just recently, a former colleague from Meghan told how things went at the event and what strict rules the guests had to follow.

Gina Torres and Meghan Markle worked together in the US series “Suits”. In it, Torres played lawyer Jessica Pearson, Meghan played paralegal Rachel Zane. In an interview with the American magazine “Variety”, the 52-year-old now remembers the royal wedding to which she and her co-stars were invited.

Gina Torres: Your dress broke the dress code

Above all, the dress code bothered the actress. There were numerous regulations governing guest demeanor and Torres was concerned that her outfit broke some of those regulations. The actress bought her red and white dress on the Internet with the thought that she would not get as much screen presence anyway, as numerous stars and celebrities were invited to the wedding. Even before the wedding, Torres discussed the possible choice of dress with other guests: “A lot of women and I were worried because there was a record of what was allowed – neither this nor that. I remember thinking: ‘Well, my dress has a little bit of this and a bit of it. We’ll see what happens, but nobody’s going to look at us anyway because we’re the ugly Americans’ “.

On this point, the actress should not be right: In fact, she was one of the best-dressed guests at the wedding with her dress and was in the focus of photographers several times.

Cell phone ban at the royal wedding

In addition to the outfit protocol, guests were also required to hand over their cell phones before the ceremony began. Only after the wedding were those present allowed to get their phones back. Gina Torres recalls: “We had to hand over our phones, but when we were all back on the bus and on our way to the hotel, we got them back. When we drove out of the dead zone, all the phones in the bucket could be heard ringing. a cacophony of ‘pings’ and all these people and websites sent me photos of my dress in about ten ‘Best Dressed’ lists “.

Gina Torres: She is no longer in contact with Meghan

Since the wedding, Duchess Meghan and Gina Torres should have no more contact with each other. As early as 2019, the 52-year-old reported to the magazine “Glamor”: “No, I have no more contact with Meghan. There is no reason why we are no longer in contact”. According to the actress, she cannot be friends with all the people she has ever met on the set because there are simply too many: “You cannot do all of them [als Freunde] take away “. Together with Meghan, Gina Torres would have had” a great time “on the set of” Suits “.
