Time to marry Harry?
PRINCE Harry celebrated at Pippa Middleton’s €350,000 wedding bash yesterday amid growing speculation he’ll be next to tie the knot.
Harry was at church alone despite speculation his actress girlfriend Meghan Markle would be among 120 A-list guests.
But Suits star Meghan, 35, later slipped into the reception at the Middletons’ €7million Berkshire home to mark Pippa’s marriage to hedge fund boss James Matthews.
It is understood Harry and Meghan joined guests dancing to a live band belting out hits like Cee Lo Green’s Forget You.
INSEPARABLE
Now sources claim Harry, 32, is set to pop the question as their 12-month relationship intensifies.
A royal insider said: “They are inseparable and she spends most of her spare time at his Kensington Palace lodge.
“Meghan didn’t attend the church service but was going to the reception. It’s a massive step for the couple – guests were joking they’d be the next to wed.”
Harry was in fine form as he and brother William, 34, arrived. William’s wife Kate, 35 – wearing a dusty pink dress by Alexander Mcqueen – was matron of honour and kept an eye on Prince George, three, and two-year-old Princess Charlotte, who were among six page boys and bridesmaids.
The rain held off as Pippa, 33, and James, 41, delighted guests with a kiss on the steps of St Mark’s Church, Englefield.
Pippa and dad Michael had arrived at 11.20am in an open-top 1951 Jaguar Mark V. She dazzled in a bespoke Giles Deacon dress, created to appear seamless and said to have cost €50,000. Mum Carol arrived with bearded son James, 30, resembling a royal himself. Guests were greeted by ushers and best man Spencer Matthews, 27 – the reality star brother of bridegroom James. Among first guests to arrive were ITV news anchor Tom Bradby and jewellery designer wife Claudia.
They were followed by former Byker Grove star Donna Air – James Middleton’s girlfriend – and tennis star Roger Federer and wife Mirka.
Smiling Princess Eugenie, 27, waved as she was accompanied by boyfriend Jack Brooksbank, 29. Lady Gabriella Windsor, 36 – the daughter of Prince and Princess Michael of Kent – was also in church for the 40-minute ceremony.
After sharing a kiss on the church steps James and Pippa were later seen beaming in a Jaguar E-type.
A Scottish-themed reception – in a nod to the groom’s heritage – was held in a €1150,000 marquee at the Middletons’ home in Bucklebury and included haggis canapes and music from bagpipers.
Luxury temporary loos boasted oak fittings, porcelain basins and piped orchestral music.
And a wealthy Russian pal was understood to have donated eight kilos of beluga caviar worth €50,000.
Security was super-tight. Guests had to send a passport photo and create a password so they could get “accreditation” for the reception.
Four EX-SAS soldiers were part of a “ring of steel”. Security scoured the grounds and CCTV cameras were hidden in camouflaged nets.
