London: Britain's Prince Harry and his American actor fiancee Meghan Markle will marry on May 19 at St George's Chapel in Windsor Castle near London, Kensington Palace announced recently. The announcement comes nearly three weeks after the couple confirmed their engagement last month.
"His Royal Highness Prince Henry of Wales and Ms Meghan Markle will marry on 19th May 2018," the palace said in a statement.
The fifth in line to Britain's throne had revealed his engagement to the 36-year-old actor, best known for her role as Rachel Zane in the legal drama 'Suits', last month. The couple had confirmed that their wedding ceremony will take place some time in May 2018 at St George's Chapel in Windsor Castle.
The couple has now set a date for the wedding, which will be paid for by the UK's royal family, including the service, music, flowers and the reception. Markle, as a Protestant Christian, will be baptised into the Church of England before the ceremony. She will also begin the process of becoming a British citizen as she prepares for her married life with the prince at their home at Kensington Palace in London. The new princess-to-be has been invited for the royal festivities which take place in Norfolk.
