There’s nothing like a British royal wedding to get everyone in a celebratory mood, and the announcement of the engagement of Prince Harry to Meghan Markle last November means the countdown is on to their big day on the 19th May at St George’s Chapel Windsor, where Harry was baptised in 1984. In Harry and Meghan: Royal Wedding Preview, a 116-page commemorative souvenir edition, we tell the story of how the fairytale romance blossomed between the British prince and the American actress.
Discover how, despite their high-profile lives, they managed to keep their relationship under wraps before the news broke last September with their first public appearance together at the Invictus Games in Canada. Follow the lead-up to their big day, including the story behind the engagement ring; read about their early lives, where they went to school, their careers and their commitment to humanitarian causes around the world, and what the future might hold for this happy couple. We delve into the archive of royal weddings from Queen Victoria to the present day, revealing the intriguing traditions and customs, honeymoons and of course, the glamorous wedding dresses. We also take a look at Meghan’s role as a modern fashion icon, and ask two British designers for their style take on ‘The Dress’. Lavishly illustrated throughout, this is a souvenir edition to treasure forever.
