What To Expect On Meghan Markle, Prince Harry's Royal Wedding
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's wedding would be fun and might be less formal.
In three months, the "Suits" star and the Duke will tie the knot at St. George Chapel in Windsor Castle. A number of artists are expected to perform at the reception. In addition, there might be twists and surprises.
Here are some of the things that royal fans should look forward to witnessing at Prince Harry and Markle's royal wedding.
Horse-Carriage Procession
Prince Harry and the "Suits" star made sure that the public would be able to celebrate with them on their big day, so they would not skip this traditional horse-carriage ride. According to Kensington Palace, the procession will depart from Windsor Castle at 8 a.m. EST.
Prince Harry and Markle will parade through the streets and proceed to the High Street through Windsor Town. They will return to the castle through the Long Walk.
"They hope this short journey will provide an opportunity for more people to come together around Windsor and to enjoy the atmosphere of this special day," the palace said.
Markle will receive title from Queen Elizabeth II
According to Town & Country, Markle is likely to receive a title from the queen on her wedding day. Prince Harry is expected to receive the title of Duke and Markle, Duchess. The most popular choice is the Duchess of Sussex as it is still available.
Although at that time Markle would hold the rank of a princess, she would not be called Princess Meghan. The title is only reserved for British with royal blood, so the future royal would only be addressed as HRH Princess Henry of Wales.
Performers at the reception
Prince Harry knows a lot of artists and will likely invite a number of them to perform at the reception of his wedding with Markle. Among the talents that are expected to perform at the royal wedding are Coldplay, Bruce Springsteen and Rod Stewart.
Elton John, Pharrell William and Duran Duran may also take the stage. "Perfect" singer Ed Sheeran may also be invited to serenade Prince Harry and Markle.
Bride's Speech
Markle will reportedly give a speech at her reception to thank Queen Elizabeth II, Prince Harry, her family and friends. Although some claim that this is breaking the royal tradition, the royal prince is reportedly supportive of the "Dater's Handbook" star's enthusiasm to speak at the reception.
Historically, the bride's father would speak on behalf of her. The other speeches are reserved for the groom and the best man, Amber Harrison said. However, Anne Chertoff said that it is normal for American brides to make a toast and give a speech at their wedding receptions.
Games and Surprises
Markle and Prince Harry's nuptials would be different from Prince William and Middleton's royal wedding in 2011. The upcoming bride and groom reportedly wanted to keep their guests involved. Thus, there might be games and fun surprises in their program.
"The day of the wedding itself will certainly hold a few unconventional surprises. Don't expect a royal wedding by numbers. They want to involve their friends and family as much in as much as possible throughout the day," a source told Us Weekly.
