There's just over a week to go until the hotly anticipated Royal wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. It will be the most important day of their shared lives to date, imbued with centuries-old tradition as they take vows before God, their families and the Queen.
But for the couple, it won't be a day of too much solemnity, as they promise a 2018 wedding focused on fun, joy and a chance to celebrate with the public.
The Prince and his fiancee, who announced their engagement in November, are planning their own wedding celebration that “reflects the characters of the bride and groom”.

When is the big day and who is planning it?

The wedding is next weekend - Saturday, May 19 - at St George’s Chapel in the grounds of Windsor Castle, where Prince Harry was christened. It is said to have become a "very special place" for the couple in their relationship so far. 
The Lord Chamberlain's Office at Buckingham Palace is responsible for organising royal weddings, but Harry and Ms Markle are leading the show. However, under the guidance of Harry's private secretary, Edward Lane Fox, the Lord Chamberlain's Office is dealing with the ceremonial aspects of the day.

Invitations - who is on the guest list?

Invitations have been posted to 600 lucky guests, with a select 200 close friends invited to an after party at Frogmore House, Windsor. 
The couple do not have an official list of political leaders on the guest list which means neither Prime Minister Theresa May or US President Donald Trump will be going, and former US President Barack Obama has also missed out. 
Royal sources said the guest list will be restricted to those who have a direct relationship with the couple, and was taken both because St George’s Chapel is relatively small, and because the prince is not in the direct line of succession.

As well a dress code, the Royal guest list also reportedly includes 'critical guidance'for the big day. The instructions ban cameras and bulky bags, adding that guests will be asked to "surrender mobile telephones… and any devices used for image capture".
They further specify that guests should not wear medals, in a list of suggestions about accessories that includes: "No swords."
Some members of the public have received an invitation to wait in the grounds outside the chapel to watch the bride and groom and their wedding guests arrive and leave.

Friends including Jessica Mulroney, Misha Noo Lindsay Roth, Benita Litt, Janina Gavankar and Priyanka Chopra are expected to be seen as part of the congregation.
