MORE details have been revealed of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s big day. Here’s what we know so far:
Date
Some time in May – date to be confirmed.
Venue
St George’s Chapel in Windsor Castle, which was described as a “very special place” for Harry and where the couple had spent time together during their romance.
The last royals to wed there were Princess Anne’s son Peter Phillips and Autumn Kelly in 2008.
Prince Edward and Sophie Rhys-Jones tied the knot there in 1999.
In 2005, Harry’s father Prince Charles had his union with the Duchess of Cornwall blessed in the chapel.
The ceremony
The Archbishop of Canterbury had already signalled that the couple would get married in a church, saying: “I am so happy that Prince Harry and Ms Markle have chosen to make their vows before God.”
It’s not clear yet if he will officiate.
What will it be like?
Few details on this yet. But the couple have said they want the public “to feel part of their day”. It will “reflect the characters of the bride and groom”, a royal spokesman said. And will be full of “fun and joy”.
Who’s paying?
The royal family will pay for the do, including church service, the music, the flowers and the reception.
Guests
Only one confirmed so far – the Queen. But we can assume all the other senior royals will be invited.
