The big day is nearly here for Britain’s Prince Harry and Meghan Markle – as the couple are due to get married Saturday in the town of Windsor, just outside London.
The former American actress confirmed this week that her father will not attend the ceremony owing to ill health.
Huge crowds are expected in the town as well-wishers try to catch a glimpse of the royal couple – and, as Henry Ridgwell reports, from the security operation, to the catering, to the flowers, the day marks the culmination of months of preparation.
The stunning 14th century St. George’s Chapel on the grounds of Windsor Castle – where Prince Harry was baptized and now the venue for his marriage to Meghan Markle.
Some 600 guests have been invited – mainly those who have a direct relationship with the couple.
In addition, more than two-and-a-half thousand members of the public have been invited into the castle grounds – the prime spot to watch the guests come and go.
