Theinvitationshave been sent and many are wondering just what Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s wedding will entail.
and topped with fresh flowers to share with their wedding party and guests.
Naturally, Harry being both a UK resident and aprinceand all won’t be able to do that.
You may recall Prince William’s militarywedding outfit.
Like his brother, Harry spentmany years in military service, including deployments to Afghanistan.
That particular role in service was given to Harry by the queen back in December of 2017.
However, not all experts are in agreement.
So, technically Prince Harry doesn’t even have access.
The same was, of course, true for William and Kate Middleton.
And, if the queen does indeed give the okay, Marklewillwear it just as Middleton did.
Theone worn by Middletoncontained about athousanddiamonds and originally belonged to the queen’s mother.
But, would it be a royal faux pas to wear the same tiara as her to-be sister-in-law?
Prince Harry has some rules he needs to follow as well, including not having a best man.
Will his brother do the same for him?
As of January 2018, William toldSky Newsthat Harry hadn’t actually asked him yet.
It would only be fair sinceHarry planned William’s, after all.
Wait, no maid of honor either?
Unlike her husband-to-be, Meghan Markle will not have supporters.
She will have bridesmaids, as is standard for both UK and US weddings.
However, there is something a bit bizarre with the bridesmaid requirements.
Koenig elaborated toTown & Country, saying,“Most royal brides do not have adult bridesmaids.”
So, what children can we expect to see at the royal wedding?
The most popular flowers for weddings include everything from roses to hydrangeas to sweet peas, according toThe Knot.
Nevertheless, it has become tradition in the royal family.
In the past, myrtle symbolized good luck and love in marriage, Smithsonian Gardens explained.
Back in mid-1800s, Queen Victoria’s daughter, named Victoria as well, began the tradition.
For her wedding, Victoria cut a sprig from that plant and carried it at her wedding in 1858.
It is likely that Markle will continue this lovely family tradition.
British men, specifically those of upperclass, generally do not wear wedding bands.
Well, not exactly.
Once upon a time, this even applied to wearing wristwatches.
However, “even hardened snobs have relaxed on that front,” said Hanson.
Additionally, thelackof a wedding ring actually serves to signify wealth.
Even still, there are some stipulations.
According to Hanson, signet rings should not be engraved with initials and should only feature the family crest.
Family first, it seems.
How will Meghan Markle feel about Prince Harry not wearing a wedding band?
We may never know, but it’s part of the royal wedding package, regardless.
That’s good news for Meghan Markle, who is expected to carry on the tradition.
No rose gold at this 2018 wedding!
Still, it seems the royal family likes this tradition.
In 1937, the royal family posed together for an official portrait to celebrate King George VI’s coronation.
More recently, Charles and Diana posed with a large group of family members after their wedding in 1981.
When Charles remarried Camilla Parker Bowles in 2005, members of the royal family were also photographed together.
No doubt, someone great will take the job.
And, we might just get another awkward family photo out of it.
The Duke and Duchess of York followed suit in 1986 and then Prince William and Kate Middleton in 2011.
During William and Middleton’s wedding, the crowd actually numbered into the thousands.
Upon seeing the hoards of people, Middleton remarked, “Oh, my!”
Nevertheless, the couple did not disappoint the kissing tradition continued.
What about the kiss?
All hope is not lost.
Richard Fitzwilliams, a royal commentator, toldExpressthe couple will still have their balcony kiss albeit without the balcony.
Their first “public” kiss will take place on the steps of the chapel instead.
