Royal Wedding Alert! Here is everything you need to know about the Prince Harry-Meghan Markle Wedding

We are now only days away from the biggest wedding of the year as Prince Harry and Ms. Meghan Markle are all set to tie the knot on May 19, 2018.

Prince Harry, formally known as the Prince Henry of Wales, announced his engagement to American girlfriend and former Suits star Meghan Markle in November 2017. The wedding is scheduled to take place on May 19, 2018 according to the Royal customs and traditions. It was announced by Kensington Palace.

Prince Harry is the younger son of Prince Charles of Wales and Princess Diana (Late). He is the younger brother of Duke of Cambridge Prince William. He is currently 6^th in line to the throne following behind Prince Louis, Princess Charlotte, Prince George, Prince William and Prince Charles in the run.

Meghan Markle is an American-born Television actress who is best known for her role in the popular TV series called ‘Suits’. Meghan was previously married to a Hollywood producer but is now divorced. She has quit her acting career after completing 6 seasons of the show. Meghan will be taking up the role as a full-time Royal after her wedding. She is currently busy engaging in commitments as a fiance to Prince Harry such as charity events or occasional apperances with the Prince.

There had been a lot of speculation about Prince Harry’s romance with American television actress Meghan Markle for a long time before the couple confirmed their romance with joint appearance at the Invictus Games that were held in Canada last year. They were also joined by Meghan's mother Doria at the event.

The young royal got engaged to the American beauty after receiving blessings from his father Prince Charles and the Majesty Queen. It is royal custom to seek permission from the Queen of England before you can propose to your partner for marriage.

1. The wedding is going to take place at the St. George’s Chapel at noon on May 19, 2018.
