The Duchess' face lights up as she gazes at her veil in a fleeting scene from the trailer for Queen of the World, a two-part ITV show exploring the Queen's role as head of the Commonwealth.
Meghan can be seen delicately handling the elaborate veil, which was embroidered with flowers from each of the 53 Commonwealth nations at the Duchess' request, as well as wintersweet - which grows in the garden at Nottingham Cottage, the home she shares with Prince Harry in the grounds of Kensington Palace - and the California poppy, a nod to her native state.
As she caresses the veil, the Duchess remarks: '53 countries, oh my goodness... it will keep us busy!'
Givenchy embroiderers who worked on Meghan's veil washed their hands every 30 minutes, to ensure the white silken threads remained pristine.
It's Meghan's first appearance in an official documentary as a member of the royal family.
Her brief appearance in the clip has already begun circulating on Instagram fan accounts, with the Duchess' admirers around the world desperate to see more.
'OMG I just love her,' said one fan beneath a clip from the show, while another said simply: 'crying'.
Another posted: 'Where can we watch it in Sydney, Australia?'
Meghan will discuss her wedding day and in particular the cathedral-length veil she wore - which added a wow factor to her relatively simple Givenchy dress - and its significance.
Both the dress and the veil will form part of a display open to the public at Windsor Castle in October.
The Duchess' bridal gown was the subject of intense speculation in the months leading up to the royal wedding, but it wasn't until Meghan stepped out of her Rolls Royce outside St George's Chapel on May 19th that the world learned Clare Waight-Keller, the recently installed new chief of storied French fashion house Givenchy, had been tasked with designing it.
