Beaming Meghan and her mother arrive at their hotel ahead of royal wedding



Royal bride-to-be Meghan Markle arrived with her mother to spend her final night before the royal wedding at Cliveden House Hotel after enjoying afternoon tea with the Queen.



Beaming Meghan and mother Doria Ragland will spend tonight at the Berkshire hotel with a group of Meghan's closest friends, her dress designer and hairdresser, before Doria accompanies the bride to St George's Chapel as she finally ties the knot with Prince Harry.



As she walked into the hotel Meghan, wearing a £1,350 navy Roland Mouret Barwick dress, told waiting royal fans that she felt 'wonderful, thank you'. 



Doria flew in to support her daughter in the week Meghan's father Thomas pulled out of the ceremony and Prince Charles stepped in to give the bride away.



Ms Ragland, a yoga instructor and social worker from Los Angeles, enjoyed a traditional English tea at Windsor Castle, complete with jam sandwiches and sponge cake, as she prepared for her daughter's big day tomorrow.



Meanwhile just a few miles away in Windsor Prince Harry and his brother William joked with crowds outside Windsor Castle - their last public appearances before tomorrow's royal wedding.



Harry and William chatted with excited royal fans outside Windsor, shaking their hands and posing for pictures with the thousands of people who have been waiting for days for tomorrow's marriage.



The groom joked with one of the well-wishers that he was just trying to get to the pub, as some of the spectators who have been camping out at Windsor were rewarded with a glimpse of Prince Harry.   



Earlier Meghan and Prince Harry looked giddy with excitement as they left Kensington Palace for the final time as an unmarried couple.



The couple smiled and waved to crowds on their route to Windsor Castle, where Prince Charles will walk her down the aisle tomorrow after she enters St George's Chapel alone.



Harry will enjoy his last night of single life with best man Prince William at Coworth Park, a five-star country house a stone's throw from Windsor and one that has been the venue for many a royal polo match and his first public kiss with Meghan.



Meanwhile thousands of fans, some of whom have slept there for days, have already gathered in the centre of Windsor ahead of the biggest royal event in Britain since William married Kate in 2011. 





Prince Harry's father will take the unprecedented step of giving away his son's fiancee at St George's Chapel, Windsor, as millions watch around the world.



But MailOnline can reveal that Charles will meet her halfway into the chapel because Meghan had always planned to walk in by herself, without her father – and now, the Prince of Wales.



The American-born former actress asked him after discussions with Harry and Charles said today he was 'pleased to welcome her to the Royal Family in this way'.



Her mother Doria Ragland had been expected to step in for Thomas Markle, whose deal with a paparazzi photographer threatened to overshadow the biggest and happiest day of his daughter's life.



Meghan will be driven from Windsor Castle to the chapel and enter at the famous West Door followed by her six bridesmaids and four page boys at around midday tomorrow.



The bride will walk through the Nave and Prince Charles will be waiting at the start of the Quire - half way down the chapel - to take her to the altar.



A source told MailOnline: 'It was something that she made clear she wanted to do when she and Prince Harry started planning their wedding last November'.
