The site said: “Each flower has been worked flat, in three dimensions to create a unique and delicate design. Workers spent hundreds of hours sewing and washing their hands meticulously every thirty minutes to keep the tulle and threads spotless.

Wintersweet (Chimonanthus praecox), which grows in the grounds of Kensington Palace across from Nottingham Cottage, and the California poppy (Eschscholzia californica), the state flower of Ms. Markle’s birthplace in California.
