9.30-11am
IT’S an early start for the 600 guests, who will begin to arrive at the castle’s Round Tower at 9.30am – so they will have begun preening at the crack of dawn to look their best for the cameras.
Guests, rumoured to include the Beckhams and tennis star Serena Williams, will have first met at the Windsor Farm Shop, founded by the Duke of Edinburgh in 2001, where they will have security checks and show IDs.
They will then be put on coaches to go to St George’s Chapel, where they will enter through the South Door. They have been asked not to bring phones and bulky bags – or carry swords!
The guest list is smaller than the 1,900 at Westminster Abbey for William and Kate’s big day in 2011. No doubt Harry and Meghan felt they would enjoy a more intimate occasion.
Harry’s good pals Barack and Michelle Obama were not invited. It is thought the awkward etiquette of inviting them and not President Trump was behind the decision.
