Meghan’s late splash at Pippa’s wedding

SHE wisely let bride Pippa Middleton have all the attention on her white wedding day, but Prince Harry’s TV star girlfriend Meghan Markle could have made her first fashion faux pas – after attending the lavish reception wearing black.

While the day had been all about the bride, the belle of the after-party ball was arguably Prince Harry’s new girlfriend who snuck into the festivities in a glamorous long black dress, sunglasses and a white jacket.

Prince Harry was all smiles as he drove the 160km to collect his 35-year-old girlfriend, who spent the day at Kensington Palace to avoid stealing the limelight from Pippa.

The happy couple arrived in an Audi at the reception just in time to watch a majestic fly-past by a World War IIera Spitfire plane, during one of many spectacular moments at the society wedding of the year.

From ping pong matches with tennis ace Roger Federer, to $80,000 Russian caviar, the three-phase affair – including the church service and an afternoon drinks reception – lived up to its elegant and indulgent expectations.

Up to 350 guests partied until the early hours of the morning at the Middleton family’s $8 million mansion in Bucklebury, west of London, celebrating the nuptials of Pippa and her hedge fund owner husband, James Matthews.

The younger brother to the groom, controversial reality TV star Spencer Matthews, earned rounds of applause and fits of laughter for his best man’s speech which took place at the late hour of 11pm.
