Prince Harry, who is a former army officer, met his bride-to-be on a blind date in July 2016 after being set up through a mutual friend. Markle said she knew little about her royal date while Harry said he had never heard of Markle or watched her TV series.

The cost, as released by Bridebook.co.uk, doesn't include security and honeymoon. The wedding will take place at St George's Chapel at Windsor Castle.
