The former Suits actress stunned the world as she walked down the aisle in a Givenchy wedding dress, which was designed by British designer, Clare Waight Keller, on May 19.
The LA native also wore 15ft veil created by the same designer as she stood at the St George’s Chapel alter in Windsor.
The veil featured 53 different flowers, but eagle eyed fans may have spotted a small native New Zealand flower.
What was Duchess of Sussex’s New Zealand symbol on her wedding veil?
Dr Carolyn Harris, who is a royal historian and commentator based in Toronto, Canada, told Express.co.uk: “The Duchess of Sussex’s wedding veil contained floral emblems representing all the Commonwealth nations.
“New Zealand was represented by its unofficial national flower, the blooms of the kowhai tree.”
Meghan’s veil also featured rose to represent England, a daffodil for Wales and a thistle, which si the national flower of Scotland.
The Duchess was keeping up royal tradition as The Queen also wore a symbolic flower veil at her own wedding in 1947.
Meghan is set to explore some of the Commonwealth nations, including New Zealand, later this year.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex will embark on a five week tour of Australia, Fiji,Tonga and New Zealand in October.
Some of their activities will include visiting school and planting trees.
Their trip will also coincide with their trip to Sydney for the Invictus Games.
The Royal couple made their first official appearance together at last year’s Invictus Games in Canada.
The Royals are not expected to be seen much beforehand though, as they will be having a break from their duties during August.
Meghan will be celebrating her 37th birthday this Saturday.
She will not get much time to relax and enjoy the day with her her feet up, as she will be attending the wedding of Prince Harry’s friend Charlie van Straubenzee, in Surrey.
