He and Meghan Markle, an American actress best known for her role in the Canadian - American legal - drama television series Suits, have been in a relationship since 2016, having first met in July 2016. The relationship was officially acknowledged on 8 November 2016, when a statement was released from the royal family 's communications secretary addressing the `` wave of abuse and harassment '' directed toward Markle. Harry and Meghan attending church on Christmas Day, 2017 On 27 November 2017, Clarence House announced that Prince Harry would marry Markle in the spring of 2018. They were engaged earlier the same month in London, with the Prince giving Markle a bespoke engagement ring made by Cleave and Company, the court jewellers and medalists to the Queen, consisting of a large central diamond from Botswana, with two smaller diamonds from his mother 's jewellery collection. At the same time, it was announced that they would live at Nottingham Cottage in the grounds of Kensington Palace following their marriage. The Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh expressed their delight at the news, while congratulations came in from various political leaders, including the British Prime Minister, Theresa May, and the Leader of the Opposition, Jeremy Corbyn. After the announcement, the couple gave an exclusive interview to Mishal Husain of BBC News. During the public announcement of the engagement at Kensington Palace 's Sunken Gardens, Markle wore a bottle knee - length emerald green dress with bow detailing at the cinched waist by Italian label P.A.R.O.S.H and a white trench coat by Canadian brand Line the Label. Hours after the announcement, the website of Line the Label crashed down due to the number of people who were trying to order the coat. Markle is the second American and the first person of mixed race heritage to marry into the British royal family. The engagement announcement prompted much comment about the possible social significance of Markle becoming a proudly mixed - race royal. Under the terms of the Succession to the Crown Act 2013, the first six persons in the line of succession require the Sovereign 's consent in order to marry. Harry was fifth in line at the time of his engagement. The Queen 's consent was declared to the Privy Council of the United Kingdom on 14 March 2018. Although Markle attended a private Catholic school in her early years, she is not Roman Catholic. On 6 March 2018, she was baptised and confirmed into the Church of England by the Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby at St. James 's Palace. Although Markle was divorced, the Anglican Church has permitted marriage to divorced persons with a living spouse since 2002. After the engagement, Markle began the years - long process of becoming a British citizen. She will retain her U.S. citizenship during the process, but Kensington Palace have indicated that the decision on whether she will retain dual nationality has not yet been made. Retaining U.S. citizenship is expected to create tax complications. The couple was invited to celebrate Christmas 2017 with the royal family at the Queen 's Sandringham estate. The official engagement photographs were taken by Alexi Lubomirski ( a former assistant to Mario Testino ) at Frogmore House, and were issued by Kensington Palace on 21 December 2017. To mark the wedding of Harry and Meghan, the Royal Mint produced an official UK £ 5 coin, showing the couple in profile. In May, a set of commemorative postage stamps, featuring the couple 's official engagement photographs, was issued by Royal Mail. Wedding Planning Play media Preparation for wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle Unlike the wedding of Prince William and Catherine Middleton, the wedding day of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle was not declared a bank holiday. The wedding was on the same date as the FA Cup Final, which Prince Harry 's brother William normally attends in his role as President of the Football Association. Holding the royal wedding on a weekend is a break with the royal tradition of having weddings on a weekday. On 12 February 2018, Kensington Palace announced that the ceremony would commence at 12 : 00 Midday BST. Venue St George 's Chapel, Windsor The wedding took place on Saturday, 19 May 2018, at St George 's Chapel, Windsor. The chapel had previously been the venue for the weddings of Prince Harry 's uncle, the Earl of Wessex, as well as that of his cousin, Peter Phillips, and for the blessing of the marriage of the Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall, Harry 's stepmother. Cost The royal family announced that they would pay for the wedding. The costs for the cake, the florist, and the catering have been estimated to be £ 50,000, £ 110,000, and £ 286,000 respectively, and the overall cost is expected to be around £ 32 million. The security costs are expected to be lower than those of the 2011 wedding of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge. The Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead has reportedly spent £ 2.6 million on cleaning the town and roads. It has been predicted that the wedding will trigger a tourism boom and boost the economy by up to £ 500 million. Wedding attire The wedding invitations specified a dress code for men of `` Dress Uniform, Morning Coat or Lounge Suit '' ; for women, `` Day Dress and Hat ''. Bride and bridesmaids Further information : Wedding dress of Meghan Markle The wedding dress was designed by the British designer Clare Waight Keller under the aegis of the fashion house Givenchy. It was made of `` double - bonded silk cady cushioned by an underskirt in triple silk organza '' and had a boat neckline, long sleeves and sweeping train. The silk veil was 16 feet ( 4.9 m ) long and was embroidered with 55 flowers, representing the 53 countries of the Commonwealth, as well as Wintersweet, which grows in front of Nottingham Cottage, where she and Harry live, and the California Poppy, the state flower of California. It was secured by a diamond bandeau tiara, made in 1932 for Queen Mary and lent to Markle by Queen Elizabeth II. The centre brooch had been a wedding gift from the County of Lincoln in 1893. The tiara is a platinum band, made up of eleven sections, a detachable centre brooch with interlaced opals and diamonds. The shoes were also from Givenchy, and had a pointed couture design. Other ensembles worn by the bride included white gold and diamond earrings and bracelet made by Cartier. Markle 's hair was rolled up with `` face - framing fringe tucked behind her ears '', and was done by Serge Normant. Make - up artist Daniel Martin did Markle 's makeup for the occasion. The look was described as `` a soft brown eyeshadow '' with minimal makeup on the face. Her nails were painted in a `` neutral pink - y beige '' for the ceremony. The bride 's bouquet, designed by Philippa Craddock, contained `` forget - me - nots, scented sweet peas, lily of the valley, astilbe, jasmine and astrantia, and sprigs of myrtle ''. The flowers were chosen by the groom who handpicked forget - me - nots in honour of his late mother Diana, Princess of Wales. After the wedding the bridal bouquet was placed on the Tomb of the Unknown Warrior at Westminster Abbey, following royal tradition that began with the Queen Mother. For the customary bridal themes of `` Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue '', Markle had her gown and veil ( the `` new '' ), the Queen 's tiara ( the `` borrowed '' ), sprigs of myrtle taken from `` a plant grown from the myrtle used in the Queen 's wedding bouquet '' and a piece of fabric from Diana, Princess of Wales 's wedding gown ( the `` old '' ), and Diana 's favourite flowers, forget - me - nots, in the bouquet ( the `` blue '' ). The young bridesmaids also wore high - waisted silk dresses designed by Clare Waight Keller which had puff sleeves. Groom, best man and page boys Prince Harry and the Duke of Cambridge wore the frock coat uniform of the Blues and Royals ( Royal Horse Guards and 1st Dragoons ) in which both were commissioned, and Prince Harry served for 10 years, including in combat in Afganistan. The uniforms were made by Dege & Skinner, gentleman 's tailors and uniform makers, of Savile Row, London. The groom asked for the Queen 's permission to keep his beard, as beards are only permitted under exceptional circumstances in the British Army. Prince Harry wore the rank of major with the star of the Royal Victorian Order, of which he is a Knight Commander, along with the ribbons of the Royal Victorian Order, Operational Service Medal for Afghanistan, Queen Elizabeth II Golden Jubilee Medal and Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal, and Army Air Corps wings. Prince William, also with the rank of major, had EIIR cyphers on his shoulder straps and gold aiguillettes on his right shoulder ( indicating his position as an aide - de-camp to the Queen ), and wore the star of the Order of the Garter, the ribbons of the two jubilee medals, and his RAF wings. The pageboys wore uniforms by Dege & Skinner that resembled the uniform of the Blues and Royals worn by the groom and best man. Each page boy had his initials on the shoulders in place of rank badges. Wedding party On 26 April 2018, Kensington Palace announced that Prince Harry had selected his older brother, Prince William, Duke of Cambridge, as his best man. There was initially no confirmation as to whether Prince William would miss the FA Cup Final, which he would normally attend in his role as President of The Football Association, or if he would be able to attend both the wedding and the football. A statement from Kensington Palace that the timing of the wedding would not clash with the match was released in December 2017. However, it was confirmed in March that the Duke would not be attending the final that day. There were suggestions that the bride 's friend Jessica Mulroney would be her maid of honour. In early May 2018, there was confirmation that there would be no maid of honour, and that the bridesmaids and page boys would all be children. A total of ten bridesmaids and page boys were chosen, with the bride and groom each selecting five : two of Markle 's godchildren, seven - year old Rylan Ritt and her six - year - old sister Remi, as well as Brian, John and Ivy Mulroney, the three children of her friend Jessica Mulroney, were chosen by the bride, while Prince Harry 's nephew and niece, Prince George and Princess Charlotte of Cambridge, as well as his godchildren Florence van Cutsem, Zalie Warren and Jasper Dyer, were selected by the groom. On 18 May 2018, Kensington Palace announced Prince Charles would accompany Markle down the aisle, after she confirmed her father, Thomas Markle Sr., would not be attending the wedding due to his recent heart surgery. The bride spent the night before the wedding at Cliveden House along with her mother, while the groom stayed at Coworth Park Hotel with his brother. Markle made her way to the church accompanied by her mother. Mounted soldiers of the Blues and Royals ( Royal Horse Guards and 1st Dragoons ) ; the Blues and Royals, Prince Harry 's old regiment, and part of the Household Cavalry, rode as an escort in the procession. Approximately 250 members of the British Armed Forces were involved in the wedding, the majority coming from units that have a connection with Prince Harry : Members of the Household Cavalry formed a staircase party at the chapel, and also rode as escort. Street liners came from : 1st Battalion, Irish Guards 1st Battalion, Royal Gurkha Rifles 3 Regiment, Army Air Corps Royal Navy Royal Marines RAF Honington Wedding service The wedding service was conducted according to the Christian liturgy for Holy Matrimony as set out in Common Worship of the Church of England, mother Church of the Anglican Communion. From 8.00 am, the public started to arrive at the grounds of Windsor Castle. The main congregation and the guests all started to arrive at the chapel at 9.30 am, followed by members of the Royal Family. The Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh were the last members of the Royal Family to depart for the ceremony, as is tradition, arriving at the chapel at 11.52 am. Shortly after, Markle arrived with the party of junior attendants. She proceeded down the aisle followed by the attendants, where the Prince of Wales met her to escort her through the quire of the chapel. He accompanied her to the altar, where Prince Harry was standing. Prince Harry 's maternal aunt, Baroness Fellowes, read a scripture lesson from The Song of Solomon in the Christian Bible. The Dean of Windsor, David Conner, conducted the service with the Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, performing the marriage ceremony. The sermon was delivered by The Most Reverend Michael Curry, presiding bishop and primate of the Episcopal Church ( the American member church of the Anglican Communion ). Curry 's 14 - minute address, which quoted Martin Luther King Jr., emphasised the redemptive property of love ; its unexpected length caused the service to overrun by eight minutes. Chaplain to the Queen The Reverend Prebendary Rose Hudson - Wilkin and Coptic Orthodox Archbishop of London Anba Angaelos offered the prayers. The marriage vows were those published in Common Worship, and included the promise to `` to love and to cherish '' each other. This was sealed by the exchange of rings. The wedding rings were created by Cleave and Company, with Markle 's ring being fashioned out of Welsh gold and the Prince 's ring made of platinum. After the signing of the registers, Harry and Markle together with the guests sang the national anthem. The couple paused briefly to bow and curtsey to the Queen before walking down the aisle. They were followed in procession by other members of the bridal party, and their families. The couple shared a kiss on the steps outside the chapel. Music Hymns sung at the wedding included Lord of All Hopefulness and Guide Me, O Thou Great Redeemer. Prince Harry was seen wiping away a tear during the congregational singing of the latter, which was a favourite of his mother, Diana, Princess of Wales, and was sung at her funeral in 1997 ; it was also the opening hymn to William 's wedding in 2011. Two choirs, an orchestra, the chapel organ and fanfare trumpeters provided music for the service. The orchestra was made up of musicians from the BBC National Orchestra of Wales, the English Chamber Orchestra and the Philharmonia Orchestra. In addition to the Choir of St George 's Chapel, the Kingdom Choir, a gospel group led by Karen Gibson, sang `` Stand By Me '' in what was described as `` an incredible and powerful moment ''. The State Trumpeters of the Household Cavalry, who played a fanfare, included Kate Sandford, the first female state trumpeter at a British royal wedding. The music was under the overall direction of James Vivian, the chapel 's Organist and Director of Music ; and the orchestra was conducted by Christopher Warren - Green. The bride walked down the aisle to `` Eternal source of light divine '' ( from the Ode for the Birthday of Queen Anne ) by Handel, sung by soprano Elin Manahan Thomas, with the trumpet obbligato performed by David Blackadder. Other music during the service included the motet `` If Ye Love Me '' by Thomas Tallis ; the song `` Stand by Me '' by Jerry Leiber, Mike Stoller and Ben E. King, arranged for choir by Mark Delisser ; and `` The Lord bless you and keep you '' by John Rutter. During the signing of the register, 19 - year - old cellist Sheku Kanneh - Mason and the orchestra played Sicilienne attributed to Maria Theresia von Paradis, Fauré 's Après un rêve, and an arrangement for cello and orchestra of Schubert 's Ave Maria. For the procession, the musicians performed the Allegro from the Symphony No. 1 in B - flat major by William Boyce and `` This Little Light of Mine '' by Etta James, Jester Hairston and Harry Dixon Loes. Family celebrations St George 's Hall, Windsor Castle Frogmore House Following the ceremony, there was a carriage procession through Windsor. Two receptions were held ; the first, for those attending the ceremony, was hosted by the Queen and took place in St George 's Hall after the carriage procession. Singer Elton John performed for the guests and the groom and the Prince of Wales each gave a speech. A second reception at Frogmore House, for family and close friends and hosted by the Prince of Wales, occurred later in the day. Harry drove his new wife to the reception at Frogmore in a silver blue Jaguar E-Type Concept Zero, with left - hand drive. For the evening reception, the Duchess of Sussex wore a halter - neck, open back dress by Stella McCartney and an emerald cut Aquamarine ring formerly belonging to Diana, Princess of Wales. George Northwood was her hairstylist for the private party. In a break with tradition, the bride made a speech at the event. The Duke of Cambridge also gave a best man 's speech. DJ Idris Elba and The Atlantic Soul Orchestra performed at the event. The event ended with small fireworks displayed above Frogmore House. The wedding cake was a layered lemon and elderflower cake and decorated with peonies in shades of white and cream. The cake designer Claire Ptak, based in London, was chosen in March 2018. Three official wedding photos were released. They were taken by photographer Alexi Lubomirski at Windsor Castle following the ceremony. Guests Main article : List of wedding guests of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle In April 2018, it was announced that an `` official list '' of domestic and international political leaders was not required for the wedding and that Prime Minister Theresa May, Leader of the Opposition Jeremy Corbyn, and other leaders would not attend the ceremony. President of the United States Donald Trump and former President Barack Obama were also not invited. This was in contrast to the wedding of Prince Harry 's elder brother, which had a large number of such guests due to his position as a future monarch. The decision not to invite political leaders to the wedding was taken in part because of the limitations of the venue, and also took into account Prince Harry 's position as sixth in line to the throne. The only politician invited was the former Prime Minister Sir John Major as he previously was `` a special guardian on legal matters to Princes William and Harry after the death of their mother ''. With a smaller ceremony and reception at St George 's Hall, the guest list included approximately 600 people, most of whom have a `` direct relationship '' with the couple. Also, 200 close friends of the couple were invited to attend the evening reception at Frogmore House. Approximately 1,200 members of the public were invited to greet the couple outside the chapel in the grounds of Windsor Castle. The invitees outside the chapel were `` people from charities, Windsor Castle community members, people from the royal households and the Crown Estate, and local school children ''. Sarah, Duchess of York, the former wife of Prince Andrew, was invited to the wedding even though she had not been invited to the weddings of Prince William and Catherine Middleton in 2011, Peter Phillips and Autumn Kelly in 2008, or Zara Phillips and Mike Tindall in 2011. However, she was not invited to the evening reception at Frogmore House hosted by Prince Charles and was reportedly `` deeply upset '' by her omission. Amongst the non-royal guests were Markle 's Suits co-stars Patrick J. Adams ( with wife Troian Bellisario ), Gabriel Macht ( with wife Jacinda Barrett ), Sarah Rafferty, Rick Hoffman, Gina Torres and Abigail Spencer, actors George Clooney ( with wife Amal Clooney ), Idris Elba and Tom Hardy, actresses Oprah Winfrey, Priyanka Chopra and Carey Mulligan ( with husband Marcus Mumford ), television host James Corden, tennis player Serena Williams ( with husband Alexis Ohanian ), David and Victoria Beckham, musicians Sir Elton John ( with husband David Furnish ), James Blunt, Joss Stone, and rugby players Jonny Wilkinson and James Haskell. Megan 's close friend, stylist Jessica Mulroney ( with husband Ben Mulroney ) and Harry 's ex-girlfriends Cressida Bonas and Chelsy Davy were also in attendance. Other guests were members of the Middleton family. The only foreign royal guests at the wedding were Prince Harry 's friend Prince Seeiso of Lesotho, with whom he co-founded, after the death of both of their mothers, the Sentebale foundation to help AIDS - stricken orphans in Lesotho, and his wife Princess Mabereng. Gifts for guests The 2,640 members of the public invited to Windsor Castle for the wedding were gifted gift bags to commemorate the event. The bag had the initials of the couple, date and venue location printed on the exterior. Inside was an order of service booklet for the wedding, a gold chocolate coin, a bottle of water, a fridge magnet, a 20 % off voucher for the Windsor Castle gift shop and a tube of handbag shortbread. Charitable donations In April 2018, the couple requested that, rather than sending wedding gifts, people should make a donation to one of seven charitable organisations, none of which they had a formal association with : CHIVA ( Children 's HIV Association ) : The small charity supports more than 1,000 young people living with HIV in the UK and Ireland. Crisis : The national homeless body works with thousands of people a year to help rebuild their lives. The Myna Mahila Foundation : The organisation, based in Mumbai, helps empower women through offering stable employment and breaking cultural taboos around menstrual hygiene.

Titles Traditionally, royal princes have been awarded peerages prior to their marriages ; this occurred with both of Prince Harry 's uncles, the Duke of York and the Earl of Wessex, as well as his elder brother, the Duke of Cambridge. Hours before the wedding, Prince Harry was granted the titles Duke of Sussex, Earl of Dumbarton, and Baron Kilkeel, and Markle assumed the style `` Her Royal Highness The Duchess of Sussex '' upon marriage. Reactions Play media British reactions to a mixed - race American marrying into the British royal family ( Voice of America ) The wedding was widely reported as being significant for its departure from tradition typically associated with the Royal Family and for its inclusion of African - American culture in the service. It was described as a `` landmark for African Americans '', for Black British, black and mixed - race women, and for the Royal Family itself. Other reports cited more limited impact, including that `` Markle being biracial as opposed to African American impeded black people embracing her as one of their own ''. The wedding, particularly Markle 's choice of dress, as well as the cake and flowers, influenced the choices of other British brides for their weddings. Honeymoon The couple did not leave for their honeymoon the day after their marriage, and were both scheduled to carry out public engagements in the week after the wedding. The location of the honeymoon had been kept secret, although the press speculated that they might be headed to locations such as Namibia, Rwanda, and Botswana.
