  • - Meghan Markle becomes royalty this Saturday

  • when she marries Prince Harry

  • at St. George's Chapel at Windsor Castle.

  • Along with most of England and America,

  • I'm obsessed with Meghan Markle.

  • She's just so cool.

  • She bucks royal traditions and wears jeans,

  • and not pantyhose, to royal events.

  • She also rocks that messy little bun.

  • Plus, she's not having fruitcake at her wedding,

  • which is like, good on you Meghan.

  • You have your cake and eat it too.

  • Meghan and I also have a ton in common.

  • She's getting married soon, I'm getting married soon.

  • Her name has a silent H, my name as a silent H.

  • - Follow me, but don't talk to me.

  • - She acts on the small screen,

  • and I act on the even smaller screen.

  • She's about to become an American princess,

  • well, technically a duchess, but let's not get into that.

  • I'm an American who's name means princess, in Hebrew.

  • Okay, so maybe not like a ton in common,

  • but we're about to have a whole lot more in common

  • because I'm gonna try to do all the things

  • Meghan does in order to get ready for her big day.

  • That's right.

  • I'm gonna go on morning runs,

  • use her celeb endorsed face lotion,

  • take that crazy Pilates machine class,

  • and get a buccal massage,

  • which is probably not what you think it is.

  • - Open up, just getting to know your mouth a little bit.

  • - Hopefully, then I can be as cool

  • and chill a bride as Meghan Markle.

  • Meghan says exercising keeps her grounded

  • as well as in shape, so I started doing what'd she do.

  • I took a run in the park.

  • She follows that up with meditation, so I did that.

  • This kinda feels like a waste of time,

  • but then again, it's nice to have a little rest I think.

  • Honestly, I started the day feeling pretty great.

  • It was a good idea, thanks Meghan.

  • So after that, I tried that luxe skin gel

  • that Meghan is rumored to use, Biotulin.

  • It's dubbed Botox in a bottle,

  • and I don't even understand how that is possible,

  • but I implicitly trust everything

  • Meghan puts on her face because she is gorgeous.

  • (choir music)

  • Then, I went to this wedding dress expert

  • to try to see if I could steal

  • Meghan's actual bridal style for the day.

  • I'm here with Susan Spring,

  • and Susan is going to give us

  • information on wedding dresses.

  • - Whatever she wears is gonna definitely

  • come crashing down on bridal fashion.

  • - She couldn't give me the inside scoop

  • on what design Meghan had actually chosen,

  • but she could give me her educated guess.

  • - Meghan Markle definitely could lean towards the bohemian,

  • but I think that she's going to follow the other trend,

  • which is beautiful classic ball gown,

  • because Meghan's a pseudo princess.

  • She'll have some sort of lace or beading.

  • She's gonna have a super long train

  • because of the cathedral.

  • Something really giant is gonna overwhelm her,

  • so something fitted, and chances are, very covered.

  • There are some companies that produce

  • copycat dresses almost overnight.

  • With Kate Middleton, I must've gotten 15 calls

  • from fashion magazines asking

  • if we had a little chubby sweater,

  • like the one that she had worn to her evening reception.

  • You never know what part of her outfit

  • is gonna be the one that people want to mimic the most.

  • - Meghan reportedly will wear two dresses,

  • so she could have both.

  • But, my wedding budget only includes room for one dress,

  • so I'm just gonna have to take that chance,

  • that I will be copying the

  • soon-to-be ubiquitous wedding style.

  • Then, because Meghan loves to work,

  • I got into this royal approved Pilates class.

  • Meghan Markle does this really intense

  • type of Pilates called Megaformer Pilates.

  • Well, okay, I couldn't find exactly that,

  • but I did find a similar crazy machine Pilates class.

  • Meghan Markle does a version of the classic machine,

  • so we're gonna try.

  • They kinda look medieval, don't they?

  • They look like medieval torture machines.

  • What's this machine called?

  • - Cadillac.

  • - The cadillac, okay.

  • - That's called the reformer.

  • - And that's the reformer.

  • All right.

  • It was intense.

  • - Chest up, flow backwards, use your core.

  • Form follows function.

  • - Okay.

  • - [Anthony] Then you can know what is functional

  • about what we're doing.

  • - Yeah, Meghan has balance and serious core strength.

  • Maybe a little too intense for me.

  • After that, it was time to relax

  • with a type of facial that Meghan reportedly recommends.

  • - Today, I'm going to be performing

  • my signature facial treatment, the buccal facial.

  • - And to be clear, we're not taking out a belt buckle

  • and hitting me with it, it's different.

  • - No, no no.

  • Its B-U-C-C-A-L.

  • - I am trying to prepare for my wedding

  • the same way Meghan Markle is for hers,

  • and she apparently loves this.

  • - She does.

  • A lot of other celebs love it as well.

  • Kate Moss, J-Lo.

  • It's pretty popular and it's a natural alternative

  • to things like Botox and fillers.

  • - Meghan walks in, she lies down, then what?

  • - I start the treatment by just looking at your skin,

  • analyzing, see what's going on.

  • Then I move onto cleansing, facial cupping,

  • which kind of gets the lymph going.

  • - I need to be careful, I could fall asleep.

  • - [Danna Voiceover] This isn't a fluffy facial.

  • We're creating a microtrauma to the skin

  • by the repetition of the movements,

  • so that the skin can jumpstart

  • the production of collagen and elastin.

  • - What are we about to-- - Now we're gonna be

  • doing the inner mouth massage,

  • which is the wow factor in all of this.

  • - The buccal facial includes a massage in your mouth.

  • Yeah, at first I was pretty horrified.

  • How could Meghan do this to me?

  • - [Danna] Open up.

  • - What, why?

  • - [Danna] Just getting to know your mouth a little bit.

  • - Feels really strange.

  • Has anybody bit your finger?

  • - No, never.

  • Please don't.

  • - Okay, I won't bite your finger.

  • - I work inside and outside simultaneously,

  • and I'm able to really access the tiny muscles

  • that we really never stimulate.

  • This area is what makes a lot of people

  • look like they're frowning as we get older.

  • - Sounds like this helps with resting bitch face?

  • - Exactly.

  • - And you know what?

  • It actually wasn't bad.

  • It was kind of like a facelift without the surgery.

  • - I made you look like you're 20 now.

  • - Meghan Markle is like, 36 and you're like she--

  • - Is she?

  • No way. - Yeah.

  • She does not look it at all. - She does not look,

  • well, she gets the buccal facial.

  • - There you go.

  • Afterwards, not only was my body tired from Pilates,

  • but my face was tired from the facial workout.

  • While getting ready for her wedding,

  • Meghan is avoiding alcohol,

  • but she still finishes the day with a glass of red wine

  • in order to unwind from all that stress.

  • Her wine blog, Tig, was named after

  • her favorite Tignanello wine,

  • which costs around 90 to 120 bucks.

  • - What did you figure out?

  • - I didn't have that much budget remaining,

  • so I settled for a bottle of $10 wine,

  • and gulped down a glass,

  • or two, or three.

  • Okay, so being like Meghan Markle

  • was way harder than I thought.

  • Sure, she looks cool and chill,

  • but she puts in the work to get there.

  • Then again, I'm getting ready for a wedding for 150 people.

  • 18.7 million people watched

  • Prince William and Kate Middleton's wedding on BBC One.

  • She will have the pressure

  • of millions of pairs of eyes on her.

  • I don't, so I'm going to enjoy it,

  • but I'll definitely be following her recommendation

  • for a daily glass of wine.

  • To Harry and Meghan.

  • Congratulations on your wedding.

  • (upbeat music)

  • - Ahh.

  • That's good.

  • I can't imagine how good the

  • $90 bottle of wine that she drinks is.

  • I don't have very high class taste.
