Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's Next Public Appearance Will Be an Important One


Meghan Markle and Prince Harry still have a few things to take care of before they jet off on a much-deserved honeymoon. On Tuesday, only a few days after their gorgeous wedding in St. George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle, they made their first public appearance as newlyweds at a celebration at the Buckingham Palace Gardens in honor of Harry’s father Prince Charles. And according to People, Markle and Prince Harry’s next post-wedding, pre-honeymoon official royal outing will be at yet another family birthday party: Queen Elizabeth’s annual Trooping the Colour celebration, which takes place each June, several weeks after her actual April 21 birth date.

During the Trooping the Colour event, which falls on June 9 this year, Queen Elizabeth is honored with a military parade and royal salute, and rides in a carriage from Buckingham Palace to the nearby Horse Guards Parade grounds, where she inspects the troops and returns the salute. The rest of the family makes the trip with their matriarch, with royal colonels Prince Charles and Prince William riding alongside her carriage on horseback, and everyone else, including Prince Harry, Duchess Camilla, and Kate Middleton, following in a procession of carriages.

It’s clear that Markle is already completely comfortable attending formal events with her husband’s family. At Tuesday’s garden party, she wore a gorgeous pale pink Goat dress and Philip Treacy hat, shared a giggle with Prince Harry’s father and stepmother when a bee attempted to dive-bomb Harry’s face during his speech, and showed some subtle PDA to Prince Harry as they headed back into the palace. Clearly, she’ll have no problem whatsoever fitting into the family pics on the Buckingham Palace balcony at the end of this year’s Trooping the Colour ceremony.

Meghan Markle Touched Prince Harry's Back Today, and Twitter's Swooning


If you thought the Prince Harry and Meghan Markle mania was dying down now that the royal wedding is over, think again. The new Duke and Duchess of Sussex had their first engagement today as a married couple: the 70th birthday patronage celebration for Harry’s father, Prince Charles, at the Buckingham Palace Gardens.

At the event, Markle and Prince Harry shared a subtle PDA moment that’s setting the Internet ablaze. While walking back into the palace, the new Duchess of Sussex let go of her husband’s arm to give him a small back rub, as seen in a video posted by the Daily Mail‘s royal correspondent on Twitter.

Below, check out some Twitter reactions of Prince Harry and Markle’s tender moment:

As Cosmopolitan pointed out, this kind of behavior is yet another way that Markle is shaking up royal tradition; Prince William and Kate; Prince Charles and Camilla; and Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip all rarely engage in this kind of “PDA.” The women of the royal family only occasionally hold on to their husbands’ arms while walking together, if anything.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, on the other hand, have never held back from outwardly expressing their love for each other. Way back in October, before they announced their engagement, Markle and Prince Harry were spotted holding hands, leaning on each other, and—gasp!—kissing at the closing ceremony of the Invictus Games.

In recent months, as Markle began joining Prince Harry on royal outings, they often held hands while greeting well-wishers. And on Saturday, the couple continually held hands, gazed into each other’s eyes, and stole kisses throughout their wedding ceremony and carriage procession throughout Windsor.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's Royal Wedding Flowers Were Made Into Bouquets for Hospice Patients


As more and more details about Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s royal wedding become available, there’s a consistent theme throughout: everything, even the most subtle touches, hold some significance to the couple. Just take the wedding flowers, designed by Philippa Craddock, for proof.

Meghan’s bouquet was filled with “spring blooms” that Harry handpicked from the couple’s private garden at Kensington Palace. And that’s not all: Forget-Me-Nots, white peonies, and white garden roses—all said to be Princess Diana’s favorite flowers—were used throughout the arrangements. “The couple specifically chose [Forget-Me-Nots] to be included in Ms. Markle’s bouquet to honor the memory of the late Princess on this special day,” the palace confirmed in a press release.

Then, the day after the wedding, Meghan sent her bouquet to be placed on the Grave of the Unknown Warrior at Westminster Abbey. According to a statement from Westminster Abbey, this is a tradition started by Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother, after her marriage to King George VI to honor her brother Fergus, who was killed in 1915 at the Battle of Loos during WWI. The Duchess of Cambridge (a.k.a. Kate Middleton) also sent her bouquet to the grave after she married Prince William.

That’s not the only place Meghan sent her wedding flowers, though. A “special delivery” of some “beautiful bouquets made from the royal wedding flowers” were sent to St. Joseph’s Hospice in London, according to a Facebook post from the facility.

“Today we got a very special delivery,” the post reads. “Beautiful bouquets made from the #royalwedding flowers which we gave to our patients. A big thank you to Harry and Meghan and florist Philippa Craddock. Our hospice smells and looks gorgeous. Such a lovely gesture.”

Take a look at the sweet photo, below:

As if their royal wedding didn’t give us enough reasons to cry, Meghan and Harry went ahead and did this. I’m sure tissue companies are having a very good week in sales.

Inside Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's First Royal Wedding Reception


Well, it happened: Prince Harry and Meghan Markle tied the knot this afternoon (May 19) in London at St. George’s Chapel, Windsor Castle in front of 600 people—and the entire world. The royal wedding happened! So what do we talk about now?

Well, the receptions, of course. Prince Harry and Markle are not having one, but two parties to celebrate their big day. The first one happened directly after the ceremony at St. George’s Hall. Most of the people who attended the ceremony were at this celebration. The second one, though, is a bit more exclusive and at Frogmore House. Only about 200 of Markle and Prince Harry’s guests are expected to be at that shindig.

Obviously, we’ll have the scoop on the fancy Frogmore party after it happens, but for now, here’s everything you need to know about the first reception at St. George’s Hall, which sounds luxe, to say the least.

Obsessed with the royals? Same. Click here to get Meghan Markle updates—and more—from our daily newsletter.

1. About 600 of the royal wedding guests were invited to this lunchtime reception.

2. The menu was delicious. It included, according to Kensington Palace: Scottish langoustines wrapped in smoked salmon with citrus crème fraiche, grilled English aparagus wrapped in Cumbrian ham, garden pea panna cotta with quail eggs and lemon verbena, heritage tomato and basil tartare with balsamic pearls, poached free range chicken bound in a lightly spiced yoghurt with roasted apricot, croquette of confit Windsor lamb, roasted vegetables and shallot jam, warm asparagus spears with mozzarella, and sun-blush tomatoes.

3. They’re also eating what the Kensington Palace calls “bowl food.” This includes: fricassee of free range chicken with morel mushrooms and young leeks, pea and mint risotto with pea shoots, truffle oil and parmesan crisps, and ten-hour slow-roasted Windsor pork belly with apple compote and crackling.

4. There’s dessert, too. Specifically, champagne and pistachio macaroons, orange crème brûlée tartlets, and miniature rhubarb crumble tartlets.

5. The much-discussed lemon elderflower cake was served at this reception. The photos alone are amazing.

6. And, yes, there were drinks. Guest sipped on Pol Roger Brut Réserve Non Vintage Champagne as well as a selection of wines. The under-21 crowd got to enjoy several types of soft drinks, including an apple and elderflower “mocktail.”

7. Elton John performed at the reception. This rumor was finally confirmed by Kensington Palace. “Prince Harry asked Sir Elton to perform at the Reception which was hosted by Her Majesty The Queen at St George’s Hall, Windsor Castle,” reads a statement from the Palace.

These Are Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's Official Royal Titles


The royal wedding is officially upon us, people. That’s right: Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are getting married today. In just a few hours, they’ll exchange vows in front of thousands of people, including Oprah Winfrey, Serena Williams, and Idris Elba—not to mention the millions of people watching from their homes.

But first things first: Markle and Prince Harry have to get their royal titles, which the queen just issued to them this morning. A statement from Kensington Palace confirms that Markle and Prince Harry will officially be referred to as—drum roll please—Duke and Duchess of Sussex.

“The Queen has today been pleased to confer a Dukedom on Prince Henry of Wales. His titles will be Duke of Sussex, Earl of Dumbarton and Baron Kilkeel,” the palace statement reads specifically. “Prince Harry thus becomes His Royal Highness The Duke of Sussex, and Ms. Meghan Markle on marriage will become Her Royal Highness The Duchess of Sussex.” She’s a duchess, people!

According to CNN, Markle will be the first person to hold the title of Duchess of Sussex. There’s only been one Duke of Sussex before Prince Harry.

We’re still early into the the day, so stay tuned to hear more about the royal wedding arrivals, the vows, the reception, and, of course, the fashion. At this point, we know that Prince Charles will escort Markle down the aisle; the cake is lemon elderflower; and the ceremony starts promptly at noon.

The Suits Cast Has Arrived in London for Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's Royal Wedding


While Meghan Markle prepares for the royal wedding on Saturday (May 19), her Suits family has arrived in London to celebrate their former co-star’s big day. First, her onscreen husband, played by Patrick J. Adams, touched down in England with his wife, Troian Bellisario, posting from The Royal Standard of England. It was previously reported that Adams is just one of about 25 people from Suits who have been invited to the big day, and in fact, a few of her former costars—Gina Torres, Sarah Rafferty, and Rick Hoffman—sat down with Today to discuss the event of the year.

“I hope, as we all do, nothing but the best for her. This is an incredible step in her life, so to bear witness to that is extraordinary,” Torres said. All three actors also revealed they knew about Markle and Prince Harry’s relationship before the general public did, but admitted that there were very few details shared. Hoffman, who plays Louis Litt on the show, says that he found out “quite early” and could not keep his cool. “It was both of us in a trailer and I was like, ‘Oh my! You’re going to be dating a prince?! And then I was just like, ‘Take it slow, be careful, don’t let him hurt you.'”

Rafferty referred to herself, Markle, and Torres as the “sister wives” and explained that the whole cast has a familial bond. “We were with each other longer than we went to college, longer than we were in high school, so we became family in some way,” she said. “We’re still family. So this is a nice family affair.”

Though the cast is invited to partake in the ceremony at St. George’s Chapel and the luncheon hosted by Queen Elizabeth II, they are reportedly not invited to the more exclusive reception, hosted by Prince Charles at Frogmore House. The decision was reportedly based on the couple’s “new life” as verified royals. “[The cast is] important to her, but she has a new inner circle of friends,” one source told Us Weekly. “The afternoon reception is for Meghan and Harry’s old circle and the evening establishes their new circle.”
