More details about the May wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been disclosed, such as the time of the ceremony and transportation details. The Kensington Palace announced on Sunday that the wedding has been scheduled at 12 pm (UK time).

Horse-carriage

It appears Harry and Markle’s wedding on May 19 will be another fairytale royal wedding. They are set to ride in a horse carriage through the streets of Windsor after exchanging vows. This was confirmed by the palace on Sunday, PEOPLE reports.

The newlyweds riding the carriage is expected to be among the major romantic highlights of the event. Harry’s brother Prince William and his wife Kate Middleton also had a carriage ride through London at their own royal wedding in 2011.

Procession route

Palace officials also revealed the route of the procession. Harry and Markle will reportedly parade through the streets and will leave Windsor Castle through Castle Hill.

The pair will proceed along the High Street through Windsor Town then return to the castle along the Long Walk. “They hope this short journey will provide an opportunity for more people to come together around Windsor and to enjoy the atmosphere of this special day,” the Kensington Palace said in a statement. Windsor is some 40 km west of central London.

Marriage ceremony

Another reported wedding detail was that Archbishop of Canterbury The Most Revd and Rt Hon Justin Welby will conduct the marriage ceremony. Officials reportedly revealed that The Rt Revd David Conner, the Dean of Windsor, will lead the full service at the chapel.

Reception at St George's Hall

The newlywed and their guests will proceed to the reception at St George's Hall after the procession. Prince Charles, Harry's father, will host a private evening reception for friends and family members.

It is unknown if the reception will take place inside the state apartments or at another venue within the Windsor estate. Harry and Markle’s engagement photos were taken at the Frogmore House.

Guests list

Whether or not invitations have already been sent has not been disclosed. St George’s Chapel can hold about 800 guests, but the number of people who will be in attendance is not yet known. New details on the royal wedding come less than 100 days until the young prince marries Markle.
