Immediately after the procession, the couple and guests will attend a reception at St. George's Hall, following which there will be  a private evening reception for friends and family hosted by Prince Charles, Harry's father.

Prince William and Kate Middleton’s wedding had taken place at Westminster Abbey in 2011 whereas his father, Prince Charles and Princess Diana, were married in 1981 at St. Paul's Cathedral.

The couple first met in July 2016 on a blind date set up by a mutual friend. However, they could spend time alone only when they went on a trip to Botswana.  Early November they announced their engagement. Prince Harry had designed the engagement ring himself and proposed to Meghan at Nottingham Cottage. The ring is from Botswana with two smaller diamonds which were from the collection of Princess Diana.

He once said that he wanted to include the diamonds to make sure she's(Diana) with them on their crazy  journey together.
