Kensington Palace announced the month and venue for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s wedding
Now that they’ve made the engagement official, Kensington Palace announced Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s wedding month and the venue. The couple, who announced their plans to get married on Monday, November 27th, will wed this coming May at St. George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle. So you better start thinking about what kind of hat you’re going to wear when you wake up to watch the whole thing on TV.
Spring is looking like a big season for royal family news. The Duchess of Cambridge, Kate Middleton, is due with her third child sometime in April. So it’s going to be a busy time for the royal family. According to E! News, Windsor Castle is special to both Harry and Meghan, who have spent a lot of time there together. It’s also where pretty much every one in the family has tied the knot.

A palace spokesperson also said the couple thanks the world for their excitement, saying:
"Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are extremely grateful for the warm public response following yesterday's announcement of their engagement. In a happy moment in their lives, it means a great deal to them that so many people throughout the U.K., the Commonwealth, and around the world are celebrating with them."
They also already have an idea about how *extra* the wedding is going to be. The palace spokesperson added that Harry and Meghan “want the day to be shaped so as to allow members of the public to feel part of the celebrations too and are currently working through ideas for how this might be achieved.”
