The seating arrangements have been made. The venue is booked. The cake is well on its way to being made.
The bonbonnières have been ordered (personally, we’re hoping each and every guests gets to take home a Corgi pup) and as of today, the invites have officially been printed and sent.
But royal watchers have spotted something a little off about the invitations for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s May 19 wedding. Something that, potentially, could cause some confusion among guests.
It all started when Kensington Palace shared an image of the invitations on Twitter. The Prince of Wales’ special fancy seal (also known as the Three-Feathered Badge) was there. There was enough space for a fancy calligrapher to write the names of guests.
There was even a very specific dress code – men must wear a “morning coat” or a lounge suit, while women are required to wear a “day dress with a hat”.
But the names of the people getting married were… not what people were expecting.

I was disappointed with Meghan Markle when she appeared for the first time in public with Prince Harry at the Invectus Game in Toronto in her frayed jeans unbecoming of a 'soon-to-be' member of the royal family. As she was the cynosure of all eyes that day, it would have been prudent on her part to wear a nice summer dress than to sport in such a casual outfit without any regard to her future status. I felt that It was an insult to the Queen! When I read about the cost of her wedding dress, I couldn't help comparing her situtation to 'going from rags to riches'! It is surpirsing that it did not attract the attention of the media. In contrast, she appeared In London for the first time wearing a flattering outfit. I'm sure the public there would have reacted differently if she had appeared in a very casual outfit like the one she wore in Toronto. The more the Queen shows leniency towards her grandson, the more Prince Harry seems to break all protocols. It is sad indeed!
