PRINCE Harry and Meghan Markle are to marry at Windsor Castle next May, it has been revealed.
The couple, who announced their engagement yesterday, have been granted permission to use the castle’s St George’s Chapel by The Queen.

An exact date is yet to be set for the wedding.
The Chapel was used for the wedding of Prince Edward to Sophie, Countess of Wessex in 1999.
Harry’s older brother William married the Duchess of Cambridge in Westminster Abbey.
The Royal Family will pay for Harry and Meghan’s wedding, including the service, music, flowers and the reception.
The palace also confirmed that Ms Markle will be baptised into the Church of England and confirmed before the wedding.
The couple will carry out their first official royal duties together on Friday in Nottingham.
Harry and Meghan gave an insight into their 16-month romance in their first television interview yesterday, and described how they met on a blind date set up by a mutual friend.
Ms Markle told how she could not wait to say “yes” to the prince when Harry got down on one knee a few weeks ago as they cooked a roast chicken dinner at his home, Nottingham Cottage at Kensington Palace.
Indicating the depths of his feeling for his bride-to-be, Prince Harry said: “The fact that I fell in love with Meghan so incredibly quickly was sort of confirmation to me that everything, all the stars were aligned, everything was just perfect.
“It was this beautiful woman just sort of literally tripped and fell into my life, I fell into her life.”
