Clear your schedule for May 19 – we’ve got a royal wedding to watch.
Kensington Palace confirmed overnight that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will marry on May 19, the third Saturday of the month.
“His Royal Highness Prince Henry of Wales and Ms. Meghan Markle will marry on 19th May 2018,” the statement said.
“Today’s announcement follows earlier confirmation of the month of the wedding and its location at St George’s Chapel, Windsor Castle.”
Within hours of the announcement hotels near Windsor, about an hour outside of London, were all sold out for May 19, the Evening Standard reported.
The couple’s decision to marry on a Saturday goes against tradition, since royals usually marry on a weekday.
The wedding will happen just a month or so after Kate Middleton gives birth to her and Prince William’s third child, due in April.
2018 is shaping up to be a big year for the royals, and the world that can’t help but obsess over everything they do.
