Royal Wedding Day 2018: Live updates as huge crowds gather in Windsor hours before Prince Harry and Meghan Markle tie the knot


Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are preparing to marry in a ceremony that will be broadcast around the world.

The couple will wed in the historic surroundings of St George's Chapel, Windsor Castle, in a ceremony that begins at 12pm on Saturday.

Die-hard royalists - many decked out in the national colours of both Britain and the United States - camped out overnight in a bid to secure the best spots to catch a glimpse of the Prince and the American former actress.

Senior members of the Royal family and a raft of celebrities will be among the 600 invited guests and another 2,640 members of the public have been chosen to watch the ceremony from the grounds of Windsor Castle.

The Prince of Wales is stepping in for the father of the bride, as he prepares to walk Ms Markle down the aisle.


The day has finally arrived when Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will tie the knot.

In just a few hours, the couple will arrive at Windsor Castle to be married in front of 600 family and friends and a worldwide TV audience of a billion.

Prince Charles will walk Meghan down the aisle after she officially announced her father Thomas Markle Snr would not be attending due to heart surgery.

She will walk part way down the aisle alone, before being accompanied by her future father-in-law for the last part of her journey to the altar.

Meghan spent her last night as an unmarried woman with her mum Doria Ragland at Cliveden House, roughly 10 miles from Windsor Castle.

Prince Harry stayed 15 miles away at Coworth Park with his best man, Prince William.

Fans are already camped out on the streets of Windsor and dress rehearsals took place on Thursday morning - watched by huge crowds.

The social worker and yoga instructor, who arrived from Los Angeles on Wednesday, is expected to be introduced to the Queen over afternoon tea at Windsor Castle on Friday. She has already met Charles, the Duchess of Cornwall and the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.

She will stay with Markle at the Cliveden House hotel in Taplow on Friday night.

Prince Harry has not yet met his future father-in-law, a retired TV lighting director who lives in Mexico.

Offering tips to Ragland on meeting the royals, the former England rugby captain Mike Tindall, who is married to Princess Anne’s daughter Zara, recalled a family reception before his wedding. “We had a drinks event the night before and they [the royals] are professional meeters-and-greeters, and I remember my family were in a corner and a little bit out of their comfort zone because it’s not where they are used to being,” he told ITV’s Good Morning Britain. But, he said, they were welcomed with open arms.

With final preparations for the nuptials under way, it emerged that the wedding cake would be presented in a special installation, more a work of art than a traditional tiered display.

Claire Ptak said the triple-layered lemon and elderflower cake would be a “slight shift from tradition”.

“You’ll have to wait and see on the day,” said Ptak, the owner of Violet Bakery in east London. “It’s an installation of the way that we’re putting it out. It’s the last thing that we’ll reveal.”

The sponge sandwich, which will be decorated with elderflower swiss meringue buttercream and fresh flowers, contains 200 Amalfi lemons, 10 bottles of Sandringham elderflower cordial, 20kg of butter, 20kg of flour, 20kg of sugar and 500 organic Suffolk eggs.
