As Pippa Middleton, younger sister to the Duchess of Cambridge, prepares to wed financier James Matthews next month, royal watchers have been gifted with another (highly-speculated) piece of the puzzle…
Prince Harry and his girlfriend Meghan Markle will be in attendance!
Previous reports suggested that Pippa’s strict ‘no ring, no bring!’ approach to the guest list would likely prevent the actress from attending the wedding, but an exception or slight bending of the rules has been allowed for the ‘princess-in-waiting.’
Meghan has been invited to attend the wedding reception, however, will continue to be barred from the actual ceremony.
While this may seem harsh, the unusual accommodation will be viewed as a significant show of support inside royal circles.
The brunette beauty has graciously accepted the offer and has already asked for a week of leave from filming her hit legal-drama Suits, Hello! magazine reports.
The publication explains that the 35-year-old has requested to take off May 15 to 22, allowing her plenty of time to travel from her Toronto-base to the UK for the upcoming nuptials in Berkshire on May 20.
Meghan is best known for her role in the hit television series Suits, but she is also a passionate humanitarian.
The jet-setting couple have plenty of frequent flyer miles between them having travelled back and forth from London to Toronto on several occasions, as well as a series of romantic jaunts to the likes of Norway and Jamaica.
However, new reports suggest the long-distance couple are about to put down roots of their own.
Meghan may be set for a transatlantic move, with fresh chatter claiming Harry wants his girlfriend to live in his new apartment at Kensington Palace — a-s-a-p.
The Sunday Express recently revealed that Harry is hoping to make Princess Diana’s former apartment his permanent residence.
“Harry sees his future at Kensington Palace but he can’t live in Nottingham Cottage forever. It’s not what you would call a family home,” a source told the UK paper.
Who needs the white picket fence when you can have your very own castle?
According to the Daily Mail, Harry plans to leave his Nottingham Cottage base and Meghan will move from Toronto to the newly renovated royal residence.
“[Harry] keeps popping round and asking when it will be ready,” an insider revealed to the publication.
“He seems in a real hurry to move in with Meghan,” they added.
We can’t wait to see what the future has in store for the lovely couple!
