Friend tell sall MEGHAN’S BIG-DAY SECRETS!
The bride-to-be’s buddy spills all the dreamy details
For years, he has captured Meghan Markle’s rise to fame through his camera lens, watching her transform from a little-known TV actress living in Canada to the most talked-about woman in the world.
Now Meghan’s photographer friend George Pimentel, who has been close to her for the past seven years, opens up to Woman’sDay about how she’s prepping for her big day, just 10 weeks before she marries Prince Harry.
“She’s getting on great with the wedding planning,” says George. “She’s been really involved with every aspect of it and wants to ensure every detail is perfect. She’s promised all her old friends they’ll have a part in the big day and she’s already picked the flower girl, the daughter of one of her Toronto friends.”
It’s thought that lucky lass will be four-year-old Ivy Mulroney, the daughter of Meghan’s stylist and best friend Jessica, who has dressed the actress for royal engagements and offered her
expertise on all things bridal.
“Meghan’s planning on using some Canadian designers for certain aspects of the wedding too,” adds George. “And of course, I’d love to get that first kiss photograph! She is lovely to photograph and she likes having her photo taken.”
Destined to be
Comparing her to Harry’s late mother Princess Diana, George is adamant Meghan, 36, was destined for an important role in the world.
“She loves helping people, and she always attended charity events and functions,” he says. “Meghan will be able to handle the responsibility which comes with being a royal wife. I don’t think she’ll change, but she’s going to have to adapt to their way of life.”
And how has Harry, 33, fit into Meghan’s world? George laughs, “Her social circle loves him! I don’t know if jealousy is the word, but they’d all love to be in her spot. She’s struck gold and she knows it!”
