Giant step to be next royal bride
PRINCE Harry’s girlfriend Meghan Markle is odds on to be the next royal bride despite skipping the service at Pippa’s society wedding of the year.
The stunning star of TV series Suits stayed away from the St Mark’s Church ceremony after checking with Harry first.
The couple, who were irritated when snapped at a charity polo match, didn’t want to upstage Pippa on her big day.
But she was at the lavish reception at the Middleton estate in Bucklebury, away from photographers.
The fact that Meghan later joined Harry’s close family brother William, sister-in-law Kate, nephew and niece
Prince George and Princess Charlotte as well as cousin Princess Eugenie - shows she is embraced by the younger royals and has taken a giant step towards being a royal duchess.
EMBRACED
Despite her being a divorcee, there is nothing to block the fifth in line to the throne tying the knot with her.
Harry and Meghan’s relationship has gone from strength to strength since they started dating last summer.
They have gone the extra mile to make their relationship work, jetting between Harry’s home town London and Meghan’s base in Toronto as often as they can.
The fact Harry has said publicly he wants children is key. At 35 and 32 respectively, they both know the clock will be ticking.
