When a Hollywood actress gets married to one of the most famous young British Royals you just know that the guest list at the wedding is going to feature some very big celebrities, and this certainly proved to be true on this occasion…

The Guests

In late March, the Palace revealed that some 600 guests would receive invitations to the wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. All were invited to the service and daytime lunch at St. George’s Hall hosted by the Queen - but only around 200 were to attend the evening party at Frogmore House, hosted by the Prince of Wales.

This immediately fuelled speculation as to who would be on the exclusive guest list, though advance word was that loyal Prince Harry would be inviting many of his old Army mates and even two of his ex-girlfriends!

The guest list for the Royal Wedding was kept very low key on the run up to the main event, but that added to the excitement of the crowds when a number of famous faces started to arrive at Windsor.

Some of the first guests to arrive were Luther star Idris Elba and his fiancee Sabrina Dhowre, as well as singer James Blunt. Closely behind was superstar TV host Oprah Winfrey who looked amazing in pastel pink, and appeared to be having a good chat with Idris, before heading off to find her seat. According to sources, Oprah had a wedding emergency the previous day when the dress she was supposed to be wearing came out bright white instead of the cream colour she’d imagined, leaving the star to find another outfit in the space of a day – but it did look great.
