Meghan Markle, Prince Harry's Wedding Invitation Has An Error; Netizens React
There may be an error in Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's wedding invitation.
The palace recently sent 600 invitations to Prince Harry and Markle's royal wedding. The invites were put together by Barnard and Westwood. However, netizens apparently noticed that they didn't contain the "Suits" actress' complete name.
According to Express, the card read: "His Royal Highness The Prince of Wales, K.G., K.T. requests the pleasure of the company of [name] at the marriage of His Royal Highness Prince Henry of Wales with Ms. Meghan Markle."
The invite clearly states Prince Harry's real name, Henry, but didn't include Markle's first name, Rachel. This had some Twitter users wondering why the bride's real name wasn't used.
"Why isn't her full name on the invitation, Rachel Megan Markel?? (sic)" one user asked.
"Um her name is Rachel Megan Markle... wouldn't these all be typos?" another user wrote.
"Is her name not Rachel Meghan Markle?" another netizen commented.
It can be recalled that even Queen Elizabeth II used Markle's complete name in her letter stating her approval for the couple's upcoming wedding.
"My Lords, I declare My Consent to a Contract of Matrimony between My Most Dearly Beloved Grandson Prince Henry Charles Albert David of Wales and Rachel Meghan Markle, which Consent I am causing to be signified under the Great Seal and to be entered in the Books of the Privy Council," the queen said in a written statement.
In fact, some who were not aware of Markle's complete name were shocked after finally learning it. The actress catapulted to fame due to her stint on USA Network's legal drama "Suits," where she played the character Rachel Zayne. She's the love interest of Patrick J. Adams' Michael Ross.
In related news, some fans speculated that the monarch may have taken a jab at the actress because she only used her name in her announcement. On the other hand, she described Kate Middleton as "trusted and well-beloved" when she released her consent letter for the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's marriage.
However, according to Hello!, there was actually no difference between the two announcements. The first letter that was released was the Privy Council declaration where the queen also used Middleton's name as is.
Her Majesty only described Middleton on a more personal note in the Instrument of Consent document that would be released closer to the wedding day. Queen Elizabeth II is expected to address Markle in the same manner.
