The Duchess of Sussex has had a flower named after her
The Duchess of Sussex has officially been honoured with a flower named after her, by the Royal Horticultural Society.
A pink-purple clematis flower, which blooms twice a year, has been named after Meghan.
However she's not the first royal-by-marriage to enjoy this particular honour, as the same tribute was paid to Prince Harry's late mother, Princess Diana, and to Prince William's wife the Duchess of Cambridge.
The flower in question, now known officially as the "clematis Meghan," is a pink-ish purple clematis flower that blooms twice a year. The flower first blossoms in late spring or early summer (around the time of Meghan and Prince Harry's 19 May royal wedding anniversary, appropriately enough) and again in the autumn.
The Queen and Prince Louis also have flowers named after them.
The Royal Horticultural Society describes the clematis Meghan on its website:
"Named after the most recent addition to the royal family (an Prince Harry's bride), 'Meghan' is an exquisite new large-flowering clematis that will usually offer two flowering seasons each year - the first being the most prolific in late spring or early summer (around the time of their wedding), but then again in early autumn. The flowers are a rich and opulent magenta-purple, so they will really make an impact when planted in borders or larger pots."
The Queen and Prince Louis also have flowers named after them.
All of the royal flowers are available for purchase from the Royal Horticultural Society, if you want to plant a Windsor family garden of your own.
