The royal wedding will take place in Spring 2018

The next big royal wedding will take place in Spring 2018 Kensington Palace has announced.

Although details of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s wedding are yet to be announced, the wedding bells will ring in the first half of next year.

An exact date and venue has yet to be announced. Some possible venues include Westminster Abbey and St Paul’s Cathedral.

The buildup to the wedding has now begun and will continue for many months.

The timing will likely mean that it will occur close to the Duchess of Cambridge’s due date as she expects her and Prince William’s third child.

Once married, Prince Harry and Meghan will live in Nottingham Cottage at Kensington Palace.

The Queen and other close members of The Royal Family have been informed by Prince Harry.

Meghan’s parents have also given their blessing to take their daughter’s hand in marriage.

A photocall and broadcast interview will be conducted later today at Buckingham Palace.

Royal Central will keep you updated throughout the day on the news of Prince Harry’s engagement.
