This photo of Meghan and Doria arriving to Cliveden House Hotel is iconic!! Would it be weird if I had this framed?! Arriving to the hotel after having tea with the Queen (casual), Meghan donned a $2,165 navy blue Roland Mouret dress and gray suede Manolo Blahnik pumps. Her mother was dressed in a beautiful cream dress and a black jacket.
OK… back to the estate…
The history of the Cliveden House is pretty interesting.. Apparently the estate was commissioned by the second Duke of Buckingham in 1666 for the purpose of serving as a getaway home for him and his mistress, Anna Maria, the married Countess of Shrewsbury. As the story goes, word got out about the affair and Anna Maria’s husband ultimately died after challenging the Duke to a duel, which he lost. Despite his victory, the Duke never ended up with Anna Maria due to the King’s interference. However, he went ahead with construction of the Cliveden House and it was completed in 1687.
The property has since gone through several owners, and is now open to the public. There’s a spa, André Garrett restaurant, tea room, and exclusive country club. Plus… how dreamy is this French dining room??
You can stay at the Cliveden House for around $750 per night for a classic room or $1,461per night for a deluxe. Worth it?!
Love, love, love how each room has it’s own unique theme.
Pops of color combined with the classic architecture makes for a modern twist.
Soft, simple, and oh-so-classic!
Sign me up for this spa immediately!
The pristine grounds are just breathtaking.
Not too shabby, right?
So classic! If it’s good enough for Meghan, it’s good enough for me – ha!
