- By Richard Palmer Royal Correspond­ent

A SMILING Meghan Markle said she was feeling “wonderful” when she arrived at a five-star hotel yesterday.

Accompanie­d by her mother Doria Ragland the bride-to-be checked into the Cliveden House Hotel in Taplow, Berkshire, straight after introducin­g her mother to the Queen and Prince Philip.

She and Doria were driven to the luxury hotel after joining her fiance Harry and his grandparen­ts at Windsor Castle.

Looking glamorous in a navy dress, Meghan, 36, flashed a smile and when asked how she was feeling, replied: “Wonderful, thank you.” But beneath her confident exterior, she was said to be suffering prenuptial butterflie­s.

A source said: “They are both ready. The last couple of days all their friends have been arriving. I think everything has started to feel very real after a long time planning. All weddings are complicate­d to plan, and something on this scale is completely different. They have made every decision.”

The two women were met by the hotel’s general manager Kevin Brooke and his deputy Andre Bremermann on the red carpet at the front of the hotel.

Her dress was understood to have arrived at Cliveden before her.

A team of three assistants will be on hand to help the bride with the dress and her hair and make-up today.

Harry, meanwhile, is staying 15 miles away at Coworth Park, near Ascot, with his best man Prince William.
