Full statement issued by Prince Harry's communication's secretary, regarding the wedding:
"Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are extremely grateful for the warm public response following yesterday's announcement of their engagement. In a happy moment in their lives, it means a great deal to them that so many people throughout the UK, the Commonwealth, and around the world are celebrating with them.
The couple are delighted to be able to announce that their wedding will be held in St George's Chapel, Windsor Castle in May next year. As with all members of the royal family, Windsor is a very special place for Prince Harry and he and Ms Markle have regularly spent time there over the last year and a half.
I'm no longer having qualms about Windsor Castle/St. George's and am looking forward to the wedding. I'm thankful that they are figuring out ways to involve the public and that they are acknowledging that people will want to share in their special day with them.
Very excited about what Meghan and Harry will do together to help the world. Looks like Meghan is going to jump right in and get involved. Awesome.
More than an hour drive, so not possible.
Why the balcony appearance is so important?
It's just the drama and spectacle - plus way more of the public could see it. At St. George's, it looks like no more than 100-200 folks could fit around the chapel steps to see a kiss, unlike BP, where thousands upon thousands could see it. People fill up that circle in from of BP and then the entire road going back miles.
It's just so grand and amazing.
But I see why they chose St. George's - it's a very pretty venue and apparently Meghan and Harry have already spent time there.
Lainey's source is reporting that St. George is what Harry and Meghan wants, and other senior royals wanted all the pomp and circumstance if it had been up to them. Take it as what you will, but here is the link!
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will get married in May at St George’s Chapel in Windsor
I'm warming up to St. George's - and hoping we still get some of the grand processional spectacle - just on a smaller scale than London.
But I'm sure the church will be absolutely gorgeous - hopefully with flowers instead of trees and some grand carpet on the stairs, etc..
