Some Key Guests Were Missing

The Guest List was A-List
Whilst some people were missing, Meghan was surrounded by a circle of celeb friends. Made in Chelsea star Millie Mackintosh is thought to have attended after the pair met on a beach years ago. Millie has been helping Meghan settle into her new life in London so it’s likely she’ll be by her side on her hen do.
Misha Nonoo, the fashion designer who introduced Meghan to Harry, was also expected to join in the celebrations, as was Wimbledon champion Serena Williams, stylish Jessica Mulroney and fellow Suits actress Abigail Spencer.

Meghan Markle previously told the Mirror that she wasn’t going to be going on a huge boozy night out, revealing: “The thought of running around a city trying to get into clubs and wearing headbands of the phallic persuasion didn’t seem very ‘on-brand’ for us.”
