Royal wedding fever is well underway, as we’re less than two months away from Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s nuptials!
The lovebirds are set to tie the knot on May 19, with approximately 600 guests invited to attend the service at St.
George’s Chapel in Windsor Castle, along with a lunchtime reception hosted by Queen Elizabeth II.The ceremony is expected to be a more intimate affair than Harry’s brother, Prince William’s, 2011 nuptials to Kate Middleton. Considering both Harry and Meghan have a myriad of famous pals, we’re hoping to see a few familiar faces.
Kensington Palace revealed on Thursday that the invitations were officially sent out, issued in the name of His Royal Highness The Prince of Wales. Approximately 200 guests have also been invited to the reception at Frogmore House, which will take place later in the evening and be hosted by Prince Charles. As we patiently await for what’s sure to be the most regal event of the year, let’s take a look at all the celebs who most likely scored an invite!
The Spice Girls
When Mel B. was a guest on The Real last month, she dropped a huge hint that the Spice Girls may not only be attending the royal wedding, but potentially performing! She first confirmed that all five of the girls had been an invited with a “proper” invitation, and then threw her cards in the air when asked if they would also be taking the stage. “I’m going to be fired,” she joked.
However, according to an interview Mel C. gave to The Sun earlier this month, she had yet to receive an invitation in the mail. “I’ve met Prince Charles lots of times. I’m going to ask him where my invite is because I haven’t got mine yet, obviously Mel B said she has hers,” she said at the time. “I think Mel was just kind of having a bit of a joke. There are no plans to go to the wedding at the moment.”
Well, guess we’ll find out soon, Sporty!
David Beckham
If Victoria Beckham is invited along with the other Spice Girls, we can almost guarantee that David will be there, too! Plus, he and Harry have developed a close friendship over the years. David and Victoria were both guests at William and Kate’s 2011 wedding, and Harry and David have been spotted out together socially quite a few times since. In 2012, the former soccer star told Esquire that he has a “very normal relationship” with William and Harry, and that the young royals were “very easy to get along with.”
Additionally, Victoria was awarded an OBE (Officer of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire) by Prince William for her contributions in fashion and her charity work last April.
Elton John
Last month, Elton John rescheduled the concerts that were planned the same weekend as Harry and Meghan’s nuptials, which caused many fans to speculate that the iconic singer may be making an appearance at the royal wedding. ET asked Elton at this year’s GRAMMYs if he would be attending and/or performing at the highly anticipated ceremony. “I have no idea. No one’s been invited yet,” Elton said at the time, as his husband, David Furnish, added, “Crossing our fingers!”
In an earlier interview with ITV’s Lorraine, Elton — who was friends with Harry’s late mother, Princess Diana — opened up about the 33-year-old prince’s engagement. “I spent some time with him at Google camp in Sicily last summer, and I could tell that he was totally in love,” he gushed. “And I thought, ‘Good for you.’ When people get married, you want it to last. You want them to be happy. I’m happy for him. I hope they have a wonderful day.”
Sarah Ferguson
There’s been a lot of question over whether “Fergie” will score an invite. A source told ET in February, however, that Meghan and Harry are planning to include the…
