Are those wedding bells we can hear?
Meghan Markle has reportedly arrived in London just days before Pippa Middleton’s wedding to fiancé James Matthews, which she is set to attend with royal boyfriend Prince Harry.
(The lavish affair is at St. Mark’s Church in Englefield, Berkshire, on Saturday, May 20, with the reception to follow at the Middleton’s family home nearby.)
According to E! News, Meghan was taken straight to Kensington Palace after landing at Heathrow airport.
This is the next step in the seriousness of her relationship with Prince Harry, and although Meghan won’t be attending the wedding ceremony in the church, she will be his date to the reception.
With guests asked to bring a second outfit to change into for the reception, lucky Meghan will only need to bring one royal outfit for the big day.
The Sun is also reporting that Pippa and James have hired a vintage WWII era Spitfire plane to take to the skies in a dazzling air show that will surely wow guests.
And just when we thought all of this wedding buzz couldn’t get more exciting, there are reports that Meghan and Harry’s own engagement may be on the cards, with the Prince even getting the Queen’s approval as required by law.
“The way it’s going, the engagement will probably happen this year. Harry has got approval from the Queen to propose to Meghan, he’s already had those conversations with Her Majesty. An engagement is imminent,” an insider explained to Star magazine.
Their blossoming romance aside, all of the royal attention has not exactly been a walk in the park for the actress, whose TV show Suits has taken extra precautions to ensure her safety on set.
“It inarguably boils down to security issues,” says one insider to US Weekly, who explains that Meghan’s name no longer appears on shoot schedules.
The heightened security also extends to the crew on the hit show, who were warned “to stop talking or they would be fired” a second source claims.
Although, all of this extra on-set attention apparently won’t exist for much longer, with the insider adding that “no-one gets the impressions she’s staying on the show much longer.”
“They believe she’s going to marry Harry.”
