St George's Chapel has been the site of many royal weddings throughout history, including, most recently, Harry's cousin Peter Phillips' marriage to Autumn Kelly in 2008.

It follows Prince Harry and Markle announcing their engagement in November. 

Many world leaders, politicians, and celebrities were amongst the well-wishers to congratulate the happy couple at the time of the announcement, including Prime Minister Theresa May and even 10 Downing Street's cat, Larry.
