Meghan Markle is the 36-year-old Suits actress who stole the fifth-in-line to the British throne’s heart.
Prince Harry, 33, proposed to his then-girlfriend Meghan in October 2017, while the pair were cooking roast chicken.
Now the day of the wedding is looming, and Britons are anticipating what one of the most exciting royal events in recent years will hold.
Various reports have revealed that Meghan, who is a proud advocate for women’s rights, may well be planning a very feminist wedding by turning various traditions on their head.
It was revealed by the Sunday Times earlier this month that the royal-to-be is planning to make her own speech.
Traditionally, it is fathers who make a speech at their daughter’s wedding, and many brides choose to avoid public speaking on their big day.
However, Megan is planning to do her own speech in honour of her husband on the day.
It is understood that Meghan will speak at the reception following the wedding.
This is not only breaking general tradition, but also flies in the face of royal wedding tradition too.
It is not known exactly who Meghan plans to have walk her down the aisle.
Usually the father will also take on this role, but a palace source has claimed Meghan would prefer her mother Doria Radlan to walk her down the aisle.
They told Us Weekly: “I’ve heard that Meghan wants her mother to walk her down the aisle, which would be a sweet moment.
“While (Meghan and Harry) will always be mindful of traditions and the views of their elders, the day is ultimately about them and what they want to do.”
Meghan Markle’s half-sister Samantha Grant hit back at these rumours claiming Meghan’s father Thomas Markle will walk her down the aisle.
It was revealed this morning that Samantha’s ex husband has warned Prince Harry and Meghan to avoid inviting the actress’s half sister.
Mr Rasmussen, 59, claims that the “fame hungry” ex-model – who branded Meghan “Princess Pushy” – was never as close to Meghan Markle as she claimed she was.
He said: “Harry and Meghan need to know the truth about her. She’s the last person who should be at Windsor Castle.”
