Royal wedding Meghan Markle and Prince Harry official photos PRINCE Harry and Meghan Markle‘s official wedding photos have been released, and they reveal a lot about the couple and the Royal Family. A black-and-white portait shows the pair are sitting on the steps of the East Terrace at Windsor Castle with beaming smiles as they pose for photographer Alexi Lubomirski in a more stripped back setting. Body language and voice expert Doctor Louise Mahler said it was the most “relaxed and happy” she’d ever seen Prince Harry look. “Harry’s forehead is completely smooth, and look how loose his jaw and mouth is, his teeth are separate,” Dr Mahler said. “50 per cent of our thinking goes to our jaw so when we’re stressed the jaw tenses, so this just says comfort and happiness. “It’s the same with Meghan. She looks equally relaxed. They’re clearly breathing easily. “I don’t think they’re laughing I think they’re just comfortable.” Another photograph is a more formal one, showing the pair with Qu...

It is believed the sight would be "unbecoming", according to an expert The royal wedding of Meghan Markle, 36, and Prince Harry, 33, will take place on May 19 2018 at St. George’s Chapel, Windsor Castle, but will Kate Middleton, 36, be involved in the ceremony?

Meghan Markle news Prince Harry wife broke royal rule Chelsy Davy hug MEGHAN MARKLE seemed to have no qualms about Chelsy Davy, Prince Harry’s ex girlfriend, attending her royal wedding, and even broke royal protocol when she greeted her. The Duchess of Sussex embraced Chelsy in a “hug”. Meghan Markle, 36, is said to have broke royal protocol when she came across Prince Harry’s ex girlfriend Chelsy Davy, 32, on the royal wedding day. The Duchess of Sussex gave Chelsy a hug at the wedding reception, even though "correct" etiquette would be for Chelsy – who does not know Meghan well – to curtsey. Prince Harry, 33, dated Chelsy for seven years from 2004 to 2011 – after they first met in Cape Town on Harry’s gap year, and she is widely thought to have been his first love. Meghan Markle chose to leave the traditional “obey” phrase out of her own royal wedding vows to Prince Harry last Saturday. In doing so, she followed in the footsteps of Kate Middleton, 36, who did the same at ...

SARAH VINE Meghan Markle must pay heed to tradition Her Majesty, like the Lord, works in mysterious ways. You would never catch her expressing an opinion in public — but she has her own way of making her views clear. So it is perhaps no coincidence that the Queen saw fit to confer upon Meghan Markle the title of Duchess of Sussex on the occasion of her marriage to Prince Harry. After all, there is no better county in Britain more suited to this most politically correct of new royals. It plays host to Brighton and Lewes, spiritual homes to those members of the liberal intelligentsia for whom Hampstead and Islington have become a trifle too reactionary. So what better title to confer on the couple who have just staged the most ‘woke’ wedding in royal history. For those unfamiliar with this fashionable expression, ‘woke’ denotes a person whose sensibilities are perfectly attuned to the modern way of thinking. That is to say, someone who is rigorously respectful of indi...

Hairdresser reveals eight step guide to Meghan Markle's 'messy bun' A hairdresser has revealed how to recreate Meghan's 'messy bun' in just 15 minutes. Hair stylist James Johnson, who is based in Kent, has given his eight-step guide on how to get the new Duchess of Sussex's bridal hair. He explained how you should start by curling your hair, before separating a section of hair from the ears back and tying it into a low pony tail. Once secure, you should 'flip and twist the pony tail in itself', before loosely pulling back the side sections - securing it on top of the lower pony tail with another elastic. James explained how you should push this pony tail into the lower pony tail - while remembering to leave the fringe around the face, as 'this is essential in creating a softer look'. You should then secure the whole pony tail with an elastic at the bottom, 'rolling it up upon itself before pinning.' He explained: ...

Meghan Markle's father seen in Mexico for first time since wedding Shoulders slumped and shuffling, and clutching a plastic bag marked 'personal possessions', this is Meghan Markle's father pictured two days after the Royal Wedding as he returned home from hospital. Thomas Markle Sr had initially hoped to make the ceremony, which took place on Saturday morning, but was forced to pull out after allegedly suffering a heart attack last week. On Wednesday, he was admitted to hospital for an operation to insert three stents – and as a result, is likely to have to take blood-thinning medication for the rest of his life. Since being released from medical supervision, Markle Sr has been staying with friends in a different gated compound a few miles from his home. He returned to his San Antonio Del Mar property Monday - driven in by a different friend, single mom Lori Davis, 38, with whom he has previously been pictured enjoying a dinner date. At some point, Markl...
