Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s royal wedding is to take place on Saturday, May 19, Kensington Palace has announced.
The pair, who got engaged last month will be tying the knot at St George’s Chapel in Windsor Castle. They had earlier indicated they planned a May wedding at St George’s Chapel in the grounds of Windsor Castle. And now Kensington Palace has confirmed the exact days on their Twitter page.
The tweet reads: “His Royal Highness Prince Henry of Wales and Ms Meghan Markle will marry on 19th May 2018.
Today’s announcement follows earlier confirmation of the month of the wedding and its location at St George’s Chapel, Windsor Castle.”
Markle will also be joining the Queen and other members of the royal family at Sandringham, the Queen’s private estate in Norfolk, on Christmas Day according to the Guardian.
Her Christmas invitation is also a break with tradition. She is the first royal fiancee invited to Sandringham before officially becoming a member of the royal family, an invitation not extended to the Duchess of Cambridge until after marriage.
With other members of the royal family, she will attend the traditional Christmas Day church service at St Mary Magdalene church. It is thought she and Harry will stay with the Cambridges at their Norfolk retreat, Anmer Hall, over the festive period.
Someone, please extend an invitation to us.
Huge congratulations to the happy couple.
Congrats…
