Tomorrow Prince Harry will marry American-born actress Meghan Markle in what will be a spectacle for the world as is the case with most royal weddings. The ceremony will be steeped in many British traditions as members of the royal family celebrate the newlywed couple. The service will begin at St George’s Chapel at midday and will be conducted by the Dean of Windsor. At 1 p.m. (GMT), following the service, the couple will travel around Windsor in a horse-drawn carriage, providing an opportunity for members of the public and the world to see them and join in with the celebrations.
