Kensington Palace has finally revealed some of those need-to-know details ahead of the royal wedding.

 

In a statement released this afternoon, representatives said that the wedding will be guided by “tradition.”

 

However, they continued on about how the special day will reflect the “personalities” of Prince Harry and Ms Markle.

 

 

This has been seen as Markle has avoided one royal tradition by not having a maid of honour.

 

While Prince Harry has called on older brother Prince William to be his best man. The move breaks the royal standard of the groom having 'supporters' on his wedding day.

 

According to reports, the reasoning behind Markle decision against having a maid of honour is because it was too difficult to choose one person amongst her tight-knit group of friends.

 

Instead, each of her closest friends will have an active role and will be supporting her on her wedding day.

 

Mr Markle will be walking his daughter down the aisle in St George's Chapel.

 

 

Meanwhile, her mother, Ms Ragland will accompany Meghan in the car on the morning of the wedding to Windsor Castle.


According to the press release, Prince Harry is also keen to involve his mother's family in his wedding, in honour of his mother’s memory.

 

All three siblings of Diana, Princess of Wales will be in attendance and Lady Jane Fellowes will give the reading.

 

The service will be about an hour long.

 


The couple is expected to step into their Carriage after their nuptials, with close family members gathered on the West Steps to wave them off on their Procession.

 

The Carriage Procession will reportedly take just under 25 minutes.

 

Members of the congregation will file out of the church onto the grass to see the start of the Procession before walking to the reception at St George's Hall. All guests will be attending the reception.

 

 

The public elements will draw to a close at this stage. However, we will be able to see the bride and groom departing Windsor Castle for the evening reception at Frogmore House.


More details surrounding their wedding are expected to be released shortly and their honeymoon destination is yet to be confirmed.

 

They will tie the knot on May 19.
