The Duchess of Sussex was reunited with her wedding dress in a new royal documentary last night - but it wasn't the stunning gown that had everyone talking.
Some viewers found themselves distracted by the Californian-born royal's voice and questioned whether she was 'losing her American accent'.
Others speculated whether Meghan, 37, has undergone vocal coaching to make herself sound more 'plummy' to fit in with her new royal in-laws.
'Meghan's developed a case of Madonna's accent change,' tweeted one viewer, referring to the singer's distinctive Anglo-American lilt.
Another added: '#QueenOfTheWorld Meghan has had voice coaching, she seems much softer, bit like how Kates changed too.'
Two-part ITV documentary Queen of the World, which premiered last night, focuses on the important role Her Majesty plays in the Commonwealth.
The Duchess of Sussex was reunited with her wedding dress in the first episode of ITV documentary Queen of the World last night. But some viewers found themselves distracted by Meghan's accent, claiming she sounded more British than when she first met Prince Harry

Meghan revealed that Prince Harry had no idea she had personally requested the touching tribute to the 53 countries of the Commonwealth and was 'over the moon' at her veil. Pictured, the royal couple share a touching moment on their wedding day in Windsor in May
Some viewers were distracted by the Duchess of Sussex's voice as she commented on the wedding. One speculated whether Meghan, 37, has undergone vocal coaching to make herself sound more 'plummy' to fit in with her new royal in-laws. Others said she sounds 'softer'
The documentary series also features interviews with the Queen's daughter, Princess Anne, and grandson Prince Harry.
While the Duchess of Cambridge was largely absent, her sister-in-law the Duchess of Sussex featured in a touching scene that saw her reunited with her wedding dress and veil - which was painstakingly embroidered with flowers of the Commonwealth.
It was the first time she had seen her breathtaking gown since the big day in May.
Meghan explained that she had discussed the idea of acknowledging the 53 nations on her 15ft wedding veil with Givenchy designer Clare Waight Keller.
The Duchess of Sussex, pictured with Hannah Belcher, senior exhibitions project co-ordinator at the Royal Collection, also told how she had asked dressmakers to sew part of the blue dress she wore on her first date with Prince Harry into her wedding gown as her 'something blue'
Hearing the revelation, Ms Belcher, pictured, replied: ‘Oh, that’s about the most romantic thing I’ve heard’. The moment was also met with delight by the duchess's fans online
The Duchess delicately handled the exquisitely embroidered veil as she was reunited with it for the first time since her wedding day. She revealed she only saw it for the first time hours before she walked down the aisle as she trusted the designer to create it without her supervision
Viewers gushed over the royal wedding dress, and some claimed they were only watching the documentary to see Meghan's appearance. The documentary offered royal supporters a close-up view of the veil, revealing details that were missed in TV coverage from the wedding
'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.
'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.'
She added: '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.'
The Duchess of Sussex explained that because she trusted Waight Keller so 'implicitly', she felt confident enough to leave the finished piece in the designer's hands after just a couple of meetings.
She only saw the stunning creation - which had taken 500 hours to craft - for the first time just hours before she was set to walk down the aisle.
Explaining the planning process with Waight Keller, Meghan recalled: 'We had two or three meetings, with sketches, talking about how this could really come to life.
'We knew we wanted it to be really delicate and then at that point I just said “I trust her implicitly” with what she did, and I didn’t see it really until the morning of. So this is my first time seeing it laid like this!'
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.
The Duchess of Sussex's wedding dress is seen being put on display ahead of a new exhibition that will allow fans to see the gown for themselves. The segment tied into a new documentary on the Queen's role within the Commonwealth which premiered on ITV on Tuesday night
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 shots of the Duchess' gown was met with adoration by fans on Twitter.
One wrote: 'The close up on Meghan's wedding dress/veil was stunning. My favourite royal wedding dress ever.'
Another fan added: 'We're all watching for Meghan aren't we. Let's be honest.'
Admiring the veil on camera, the Duchess of Sussex also spoke about how excited she was to visit Australia, New Zealand and Fiji on her first royal tour with Prince Harry next month. Pictured, the extraordinary 15ft veil is carried by page boys at the royal wedding in May
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 caressed the veil, the Duchess spoke of their upcoming tour as newlyweds: 'We’re going to Australia so soon for our tour, it’s exciting.
'It’s such an exciting time for us especially with Harry’s role as youth ambassador for the Commonwealth and the travel that we intend to do and the work in all those specifically in all those different territories.
'Which is why it was so important to have some sort of example of that present with us on the day. 53 countries, oh my goodness... it will keep us busy!'
Princess Anne was interviewed about her first trip on the Royal Yacht Britannia in the 1950s in the first episode of Queen of the World, which aired on ITV on Tuesday night. The Queen's only daughter revealed she had 'fond memories' of the trip she took with her older brother Charles
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 returns next Tuesday at 9pm 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.
