British Army to play a "special role" in Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's wedding

More than 250 British Army soldiers will perform ceremonial duties at the wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.

Kensington Palace has confirmed Armed Forces units with a special connection to the groom, who served in the army for 10 years, have been selected for involvement.

The soldiers will provide ceremonial support at the wedding ceremony at St George’s Chapel in Windsor Castle on May 19, and during the carriage procession.

While many details of the royal nuptials remain unknown - including the members of the bridal party - Kensington Palace has been drip-feeding tidbits of information to the public in recent weeks.

The official printed wedding invitations were unveiled last week, while British-based pastry chef, Claire Ptak, was named as the creator of the royal wedding cake only days earlier.

“The couple have asked Claire to create a lemon elderflower cake that will incorporate the bright flavours of spring,” an Instagram post explains.

“It will be covered with buttercream and decorated with fresh flowers.”

Harry and Meghan’s wedding will start at noon on May 19, with 600 guests invited to attend.
