As they prepare for married life, it seems Prince Harry and Meghan Markle want a very different reality from what may be expected of them.
They’ve never been held back by traditional expectations before – so don’t expect anything conventional when Prince Harry and Meghan Markle tie the knot next spring. The new global power couple are determined to do things their own way, even if that means upsetting the royal apple cart.
Forget William and Kate’s oh-so-proper horse and carriage – Meghan is set for a royal walkabout amid the crowds. The plans have sent shockwaves through Buckingham Palace, which is braced for a ‘security nightmare’.
The pair are planning a celebration behind closed doors, with a celebrity guest list to die for. And to make up for not sharing the event with the public, they want to put aside a portion of the day to mingle with ordinary people.
But their trailblazing plans are not limited to the wedding day. Harry, 33, and Meghan, 36, are planning a life far removed from their royal predecessors – as the ultimate humanitarian dream team.
