It looks like Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's marriage in May 2018 will be different from Prince William and Kate Middleton's wedding in 2011. Although they will surely have a grand celebration, the engaged couple seems to opt for a simpler festivity compared to that of his brother.
Little details about Prince Harry and Markle's wedding are now emerging. And from the looks of it, their upcoming nuptials will be more low-key.
Prince Harry and Markle are set to tie the knot at St. George's Chapel at Windsor Castle. Compared to Westminster Abbey, where Prince William and Middleton got wedded, and which can accommodate more than 2,000 guests, St. George's Chapel can only hold 800 people.
And as the much-awaited wedding of the year will happen at Windsor Castle, there will be no traditional balcony kiss. The Buckingham Palace is 22 miles away from where the wedding will happen. Thus, it will take 45 minutes for the couple to travel that far.
"St. George's ... doesn't have a balcony. So we won't get to see that big balcony wave that we got with the royal wedding being in central London and of course at Buckingham Palace," royal expert Katie Nicholl told Entertainment Tonight. And since they will not return to the Royals' residence, then there will also be no London procession.
Hence, London's residents will not see Prince Harry and Markle doing the traditional horse-drawn parade through the country. However, in an official announcement, the couple assured that their people will still be part of the celebrations.
With that, they are now thinking on how to get the public involved in the upcoming royal wedding. "The couple is looking at ways to make the public as much a part of this wedding as they can," Nicholl added. Aside from their nuptials being televised, the community might also see them up close and personal.
