The Duchess of Sussex has revealed that her tribute to the 53 nations of the Commonwealth featured on her 15ft wedding veil was a complete surprise for her groom Prince Harry.
In a new clip from the ITV documentary Queen of the World, Meghan also reveals how important it was to her that her Givenchy gown created by Clare Waight Keller acknowledged all of the nations.
She explains: 'I knew that it would be a fun surprise as well for my now husband, who didn't know, and he was really over the moon to find out that I would make this choice for our day together.'
The Duchess has also shared how she asked for a patch of blue fabric from the outfit she wore on her first date with the Duke of Sussex to be stitched into her wedding gown.

Meghan was reunited with the spectacular gown and veil she wore to walk down the aisle - four months after the royal wedding was watched by millions around the globe.
In the touching scene, Meghan is shown admiring her 15ft veil, which famously featured embroidered floral decorations representing all 53 Commonwealth nations.
Meghan said it was her idea to incorporate the symbolism in a design which mirrored that of the Queen’s Coronation gown in 1953.
'It was important for me, especially now being a part of the Royal Family, to have all 53 of the Commonwealth countries incorporated,' she said.
Adding how surprised her now husband was at the tribute she said: 'I think the other members of the family had a similar reaction and just appreciation for the fact that we understand how important this is for us and the role that we play, and the work that we're gonna continue to do within the Commonwealth countries.
'So, yeah, it was good news all around, I think, so I hope people liked it as much as I liked helping to create it.'
Meghan asked to have a piece of fabric from the outfit she wore on her first date with Harry sewn into her wedding dress
Hearing the revelation, a female curator of the Royal Collection at Buckingham Palace, where the dress is due to go on display, replied: ‘Oh, that’s about the most romantic thing I’ve heard’
As her ‘something blue’ from the traditional bride’s rhyme, Meghan asked to have stitched into the lining of her wedding dress a patch of fabric from the outfit she wore on the blind date when she met the Prince for the first time.
Hearing the revelation, a female curator of the Royal Collection at Buckingham Palace, where the dress is due to go on display, replied: 'Oh, that’s about the most romantic thing I’ve heard.'
The Duchess' face lights up as she gazes at her veil in the scenes featured in Queen of the World, a two-part ITV show exploring the Queen's role as head of the Commonwealth.
Meghan can be seen delicately handling the elaborate veil, which was embroidered with flowers from each of the 53 Commonwealth nations at the Duchess' request.
Featured on the veil is wintersweet - which grows in the garden at Nottingham Cottage, the home she shares with Prince Harry in the grounds of Kensington Palace - and the California poppy, a nod to her native state

As she caresses the veil, the Duchess remarks: '53 countries, oh my goodness... it will keep us busy!'
Givenchy embroiderers who worked on Meghan's veil washed their hands every 30 minutes, to ensure the white silken threads remained pristine.
It's Meghan's first appearance in an official documentary as a member of the royal family.
She appears to be wearing the same navy Roland Mouret dress she was photographed in when she and her mother Doria arrived at Cliveden House on the eve of the royal wedding, but ITV confirmed to FEMAIL that the footage was filmed after Meghan's big day, and not before.
Queen of the World starts on Tuesday at 9.15pm on ITV

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
