Take a look at the royal wedding dress rehearsal ahead of Prince Harry, Meghan Markle's wedding
Follow UsWith less than a day left for arrangements for the royal wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle that is to take place tomorrow, the British Armed Forces have started practice with full dress rehearsals to start with. The world will see the British Queen Elizabeth’s descendants get married after a gap of 7 years as Prince William and Kate Middleton got married in 2011.
Their “dress rehearsal” today includes practising the long walk that is literally on an avenue called the Long Walk -- through Windsor Town and Castle, rehearsing the route of the carriage procession that Markle and the Prince will embark upon just after they take their wedding vows in St. George’s Chapel on Saturday afternoon.

As revealed by the official sources, the Kensington Palace Twitter account, more than 250 members of the Armed Forces will be involved for “ceremonial support,” including “regiments and units with a special relationship with Prince Harry.” This, because Prince Harry served in the military for a decade, taking part in two tours to Afghanistan as a member of the Blues and Royals and the Army Air Corps. He also holds the title of Captain General of the Royal Marines.
