Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are set to marry at St George’s Chapel in Windsor Castle, it has been announced.
The couple, who revealed their engagement on 27 November, have not yet announced the exact date of their big day but it will be in May.
Kensington Palace said that Markle, who is American, is to become a British citizen, a process that could take several years.
She will also be baptised and confirmed before the wedding.
In a statement, the palace said: “The marriage of His Royal Highness Prince Henry of Wales and Ms. Meghan Markle will take place at St. George’s Chapel, Windsor Castle in May, 2018.
“Her Majesty The Queen has granted permission for the wedding to take place at the Chapel.”
The couple are “extremely grateful for the warm public response”, the palace said, adding: “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 Royal Family will pay for the wedding, including the church service, the music, the flowers and the reception, the palace said.
The Archbishop of Canterbury is likely to officiate at the ceremony, as is tradition.
The venue will hold special meaning to Harry, since it is where his father, Prince Charles, had his civil wedding to the Duchess of Cornwall blessed in 2005.
