Where did Prince Harry and Meghan Markle go on their honeymoon?
So where exactly DID Prince Harry and Meghan Markle go on their honeymoon then? It’s arguably the best kept secret of the Royal Family – the Duke and Duchess Of Sussex somehow managed to leave the UK and fly off on their honeymoon without a single camera or ‘source’ getting wind of it. Harry and Meghan tied the knot on 19 May this year in St George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle in front of the entire world. They made no secret of the fact they planned to put their royal commitments first and chose to delay their honeymoon, attending Prince Charles’ 70th birthday garden party on Tuesday 22 May, just three days after their wedding.

Prince Harry mouths ‘you look amazing’ to Meghan Markle as they meet at altar
The first words Prince Harry said to his bride Meghan Markle as they met at the altar were ‘you look amazing’. Meghan, who will become an HRH and the Duchess of Sussex after marrying Harry, looked radiant and smiled as she replied with ‘thank you’. Harry, who is now the Duke of Sussex after being given the title by the Queen in the morning, looked slightly nervous as he waited patiently at the altar in St George’s Chapel, Windsor Castle. He was dressed in his smart frockcoat uniform of the Blues and Royals, and flanked by his best man and older brother the Duke of Cambridge. Michael Fabricant jokes about rape allegation against fellow Tory MP Meghan made her entrance in a stunning wedding gown by Clare Waight Keller for Givenchy, giving the world its first proper look at the dress as she stepped from her vintage Rolls-Royce Phantom IV. The gown, with open bateau neckline and sculpted waist, was described by Kensington Palace as ‘epitomising a timeless … [Read more...] about Prince Harry mouths ‘you look amazing’ to Meghan Markle as they meet at altar
Prince Harry refuses to divulge where he and Meghan Markle spent their honeymoon
Prince Harry is determinded to keep his honeymoon destination schtum. Harry and new wife Meghan Markle appeared at Buckingham Palace on Tuesday evening, oining the Queen for the Young Leaders Awards. And while there, young philanthropist Mavis Elias, from Namibia, asked if they had visited her country on their romantic holiday. Harry responded: ‘No, we didn’t go to Namibia. I’m not going to say where.’ But Harry’s refusal to divulge didn’t thwart Mavis’ experience of meeting the couple, as she added: ‘They are very engaging and they are looking forward to working with the people across the Commonwealth.’ Harry appeared fairly sprightly, considering he’d just arrived back in the UK after his personal charity trip to South Africa and Lesotho. Meghan revealed he had only returned home at 6am yesterday morning, but clearly helping out his gran was enough to get him out of bed and showered for the evening.

What did Prince Harry say to Prince William at the altar?
One of the highlights of the royal wedding was watching Prince Harry and Prince William’s brotherly banter as they sat at the altar waiting for Meghan Markle ’s arrival. The two brothers were all smiles and jokes as they sat next to each other, with William performing his best man duties. At some points it even looked like they were trying to stifle laughter.

Royal family’s reactions to Bishop Michael Curry’s show stealing appearance
I think we can all agree Reverend Michael Curry absolutely stole the show at Prince Harry and Meghan Markle ’s wedding by delivering a show stopping sermon. The bishop’s words rose in a passionate crescendo as he spoke of the link between love and the divine, his style a stark contrast to the sober delivery of the Archbishop of Canterbury, who was officiating. For the Royal Family, the animated performance would be a departure from the type of sermons they normally see at church services. At times several of the congregation could be seen smiling and exchanging glances. Even Harry got the giggles. Zara Tindall gave ‘massive side eye’ and reached for her bible, while Mike couldn’t tear his eyes away. #RoyalWedding pic.twitter.com/ON8Al3tEMa — Jonathon (@JonathonRabbit) May 19, 2018 The Queen and Prince Phillip looked bemused. Kate couldn’t keep a straight face. Prince Charles and Camilla were trying to figure out what was happening. … [Read more...] about Royal family’s reactions to Bishop Michael Curry’s show stealing appearance
