Prince Harry - Megan Markle Wedding

What we can expect at Prince Harry's Wedding 

A huge sense of expectation surrounds the wedding of Prince Harry, the youngest son of Prince of Wales and Late Princess Diana.

Prince Harry and Rachel Megan Markle's wedding takes place on the 19th May 2018 at St.George's Gothic Chapel, Windsor Castle, Berkshire. 

The couple met on a blind date in July 2016, an unconventional way a royal has met their future spouse. But it is exactly how the dashing young Army Captain would have wanted - an increasing sense of living life in the modern world.

That was well before both of them decided to holiday in far away Botswana, Africa away from the media spotlight.

On 27 November 2017 the pair confirmed they were a couple and got engaged at Kensington Palace,London.  

Preparation for the Wedding
With eight weeks until the Royal Wedding, the revellery has started. 

There is nothing like a royal wedding to bring out a fever of excitement. Everyone is guessing what title Prince Harry will carry and be bestowed by H.M. The Queen after his wedding. The name mentioned privately is the Duke of Sussex and Megan will then take the title Duchess of Sussex. She will be everybody's attention in royal circles, other than known as Princess, which is conferred only on royal ancestry. We know her fashion sense will be examined in greater detail and in fact emulated by many. Megan will receive her very own Coat of Arms,before the wedding.

In preparation for their greatest day,we are told Prince Harry has reportedly changed his diet,quit smoking, stopped much drinking and has been hitting up the Gym. Apparently he has lost 10 lbs. Megan has been going through some rigourous  royal security training including learn how to respond to hostage and emergency situations as a member of the royal family. She will also receive training how to behave without close protection and react appropriately in perilous circumstances. Every part of her life from now will be organised. How romantic, to say the least. 

The Wedding Ceremony
                                           

The Wedding service will begin at 12 noon .The Dean of Winsdor will conduct the service and the Archbishop of Canterbury, Most Rev.Justin Welby will officiate as the couple take their vows. Prince George and Princess Charlotte will serve as Page Boy and Bridesmaid, with Jessica Mulroney, Markle's closest friend's daughter,Ivy as Flower Girl.There is a chance that Thomas Markle,might be walking his daughter down the aisle, while her mother Doria Ragland will attend to most ceremonies.  At 1.00 p.m. after the service there will be a formal reception at St.George's Hall.The newly married royal couple will then take a carriage ride through Windsor Town. In the evening the Royal Couple will host a private reception for their closest friends and family. 
                                               

The honeymoon
In today's world there is nothing secret. According to the Daily Mail, more like rumour the honeymoon location is not officially disclosed, but the paper states, the Royal Couple will be staying at a luxury lodge in Namibia,West Africa, after their wedding.

The life of the Royal Couple 
We know the newly weds will be taking on much of the royal duties. Prince Harry has already been honoured by the Queen by being made the President,The Commonwealth Trust ahead  of his wedding.This will mean he would take on a bigger role in the Commonwealth to make the organisation "relevant to a younger generation". It is indeed a very astute move giving the young royal, a non political,global role,drawing on his charisma and energy to help keep the 53 member nations of the Commonwealth as one. 

Unlike other royals prior to marriage,Meghan, has already shared the limelight with Prince Harry since engagement,visiting various parts of the United Kingdom with the Prince and has been part of the Royal Family at various state functions. 

The  tweet from Kensington Palace states:"Prince Harry and Ms.Markle would like their wedding day to be shaped to allow members of the public to share in their joy and the fun of the day." 

Public Invitation to wedding
We know 2640 members of the public have received invitations to the wedding at  Windsor Castle.We also know tens of thousands of spectators are expected to flock to Windsor Castle.                      

There is a wedding souvenir rush.Everything from Megan and Prince Harry scarves, mugs,badges, bookmarks,tea towels,candles and even jumpers are being flogged by souvenir vendors and on line.There are the high end souvenirs like Gold trinkets,commemorative china ware, not forgetting commemorative stamps from all over the Commonwealth, perhaps,the world.
                                                         

                                                        

Down to Earth

 Life is also down to earth. Prince Harry has summed up his future life with his bride. "Whatever we hope to tackle together,or individually, we will always be us  together as a team." 
Prince Harry is 5th in line to the throne and no doubt he is aware of his responsibilities.
