Meghan Markle 'kidnapped' during security training with SAS

The bride-to-be, 36, spent the weekend with Britain’s special forces unit at its headquarters in the Herefordshire countryside ahead of her wedding to Prince Harry on May 19.
Markle’s training, designed to teach her how to react in perilous situations like a terrorist attack or hostage situation, included a mock kidnap and live gunfire.
