“Almost 100 years ago, Lady Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon (known as Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother) established the long-held Royal Wedding tradition. #royalwedding,”they continued. “The gesture was in remembrance of her own brother, Fergus, who died at the Battle of Loos in 1915 and to pay tribute to the millions of others killed and injured in World War I. #royalwedding”
In addition to following that special royal tradition, Meghan also shared her stunning wedding florals with others. She had bouquets made up of the flowers inside the church sent to local hospice care and women’s homes.
St. Joseph’s Hospice shared a photo of a bouquet created from blooms from the royal couple’s wedding that a patient received.
“Today we got a very special delivery. Beautiful bouquets made from the #royalwedding flowers which we gave to our patients. A big thank you to Harry and Meghan and florist Philippa Craddock. Our hospice smells and looks gorgeous. Such a lovely gesture ❤️”
