'Planning something like that takes a lot of effort,' Serena, seen here with Meghan, told Business of Fashion

Speaking with Business of Fashion a few days after the shower in the just-published interview, Serena said: “Planning something like that takes a lot of effort. I’m a perfectionist, so I’m like, 'Let’s make it perfect.'" And confirming what we had expected was a massive effort to create the get-together, she added: "It’s been a lot the last few days."

“Listen, if we’re giving our stuff to Meghan, it has to be the highest quality that we can get," revealed Serena. "So, that’s what I tell our team internally: ‘We have to make sure it’s super high quality that, you know, is fit for a royal princess!’”

And Meghan's fans definitely think the same! When Meghan wore a S by Serena 'Boss' blazer last fall, the plaid piece sold out almost immediately.
