Meghan Markle Had the Best Getting Ready Playlist the Morning of Her Royal Wedding

How does one prepare to get married to a prince in front of 30 million people around the world? For the newly crowned Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle, it was about creating as "chill" of an environment as possible—and that meant streaming relaxing, classic music, according to People.

Markle's makeup artist and longtime friend Daniel Martin, who created Markle's stunning bridal look, dished about what the vibe was like on the big day. "She was off her phone and playing music," Martin told People. "It was just us catching up and asking about mutual friends. Harry was out while we had our time together."

To foster that zen setting, Markle streamed some of her favorites from the 1950s via Spotify, according to Martin. Some of the artists included Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, The Drifters, Buddy Holly, Four Tops, the Platters, and Ben E. King. The fifties playlist apparently put Markle in the right frame of mind for the wedding. "She didn't seem nervous," Martin told People. "She was very cool. She was regular Meghan...it was very chilled."

And the Motown-era hits continued throughout the rest of the day, with King's "Stand by Me" being performed at the church ceremony and the Atlanta Soul Orchestra playing hits like "My Girl" at the reception. Who knew Markle was such a Motown fan?

"On your wedding day you want to look back at your photos and think about how great you felt in your dress and not be distracted by how trendy your makeup was in 2018," Martin said of Markle's wedding-day beauty look. "I focused on bringing out her best self and elevating it to a level, that you’re not necessarily able to achieve yourself."
