How Meghan’s army of friends are best substitute for family
and bought him a pair of blue wellington boots that Mutsu wore to bed for a long time. The pair stayed in touch and have been reunited over the years.
Mr Hornby, who will be inside the chapel today, said many people in Lesotho have cause to thank Harry for the work he has done in creating Sentebale – “Forget Me Not” in Sesotho – and will be following news of the wedding.
“I was there 10 days ago and there is a real sense of pride in the association they have with Prince Harry,” Mr Hornby said.
“I certainly know he will be in Lesotho at least a couple of times this year. I don’t know if Meghan will go with him, but I’d be surprised if he didn’t want to take her there when the time is right.”
Today will be the bride’s first chance to meet Sentebale workers based in London.
The charity was set up in 2006 by Harry and Lesotho’s Prince Seeiso in memory of their respective mothers to work in the African kingdom, which has the world’s second-highest rate of HIV.
It is expanding its work in other southern African countries. WITH her mother Doria Ragland the only family at the wedding, Meghan Markle’s army of friends are more important than ever on her big day.
While Kensington Palace is not releasing an official full guest list, many of her high-profile star pals will add some showbiz glamour to the wedding of the year.
Victoria and David Beckham are tipped to attend – the couple went to William and Kate’s wedding and Meghan wears outfits designed by Victoria – with rumours that former Spice Girls Emma Bunton, Mel B and Geri Horner are also invited.
Former Made In Chelsea star Millie Mackintosh – who went on a “hen weekend” with Meghan – is deemed a certainty while musicians Ed Sheeran and Ellie Goulding, plus model Cara Delevingne are also rumoured.
Suits star Patrick J. Adams, who played Meghan’s love interest in the US series and “married” her in their final episode together, is also set to attend.
Gabriel Macht, who plays Harvey Specter, and his wife Jacinda Barrett, who plays Zoe Lawford, are also on the guest list, as are actors Sarah Rafferty, Gina Torres and Rick Hoffman.
Gina, who plays lawyer Jessica Pearson in the legal drama, said: “This is an incredible step in her life, so to bear witness to that is extraordinary.”
Indian actress and philanthropist Priyanka Chopra, a close friend of the bride-to-be, is also set to attend.
US tennis champion Serena Williams, a close friend of Ms Markle, is thought to be another big name on the guest list, as are George Clooney and his wife Amal.
