Fans of the Royal Family may book their flight tickets now, as further details regarding the wedding of Prince Harry and Hollywood actress Meghan Markle have finally been unveiled. Harry's official residence, Kensington Palace, announced that the royal wedding is set to take place on May 19 at 12 p.m. GMT (7 a.m. EST).
The wedding itself will take place at St. George's Chapel in Windsor Castle, which was the same chapel wherein the Prince was baptized in 1984. This was also where Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall wed back in 2005.
Furthermore, the much-awaited wedding procession route following the ceremony has also been disclosed. As the newlyweds emerge from Windsor Castle as husband and wife, their horse-drawn carriage will proceed down High Street and through the town of Windsor, prior to returning to the castle by the Long Walk.
According to the official statement from Harry's residence, "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 Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby will officiate the exchange of the wedding vows, while the Dean of Windsor David Conner will conduct the wedding service itself.
This union is much awaited worldwide, as was the case with Harry's elder brother, Prince William and The Duchess of Cambridge, Kate Middleton. Harry is the fifth-in-line to the throne and has already begun including his fiancè in many of his Royal obligations. Prior to their wedding day, the couple is set to visit Edinburgh to visit various social enterprises such as a local cafè called "Social Bite." This cafe is known for its work with the homeless in Scotland, as they distribute 100,000 food items such as hot drinks and food every year and have also been known to employ homeless individuals too.
