If youā€™re anything like us, your build-up to the wedding of the royal wedding will have included a few things.

A stock-up on Pimms to watch during the ceremony. A whip round your local supermarket to pick up anything with a Union Jack on it. And, of course, a mandatory watch of the Lifetime movie based on Prince Harry and Meghan Markleā€™s relationship.

ā€˜Harry And Meghan: A Royal Romanceā€™ debuted earlier this week to surprisingly positive reviews, particularly given its predecessor (the similarly-titled ā€˜William And Catherine: A Royal Romanceā€™) was critically panned.

Those who watched the film to get in the royal wedding spirit may well have had a sense of dƩjƠ vu on the big day, when one guest was seen wearing the same dress Meghan Markle (or, at least, Parisa Fitz-Henley, who played Meghan in the film) was wearing in the memorable scene where she meets the Queen for the first time.

Twitter user @LifeOfALadyBear was the first to spot the dress during the coverage of the wedding on CBS News, leading to much chat online about whether it was a deliberate choice.

And whatā€™s more, the mystery guest wasnā€™t alone:

Harry and Meghanā€™s wedding was an especially star-studded affair, largely due to her history in the entertainment industry.

As well as her ā€˜Suitsā€™ co-stars, a number of her famous friends were in attendance, including tennis pro Serena Williams and ā€˜Quanticoā€™ actress Priyanka Chopra, while the Beckhams, Oprah Winfrey and Tom Hardy were also on the guestlist.
