Amongst the guests who Prince Harry has invited for his wedding, there is an orphan from Lesotho he befriended during his gap year 14 years ago to be outside St George’s Chapel during the wedding. The story which is reported on the Express, says that Mutsu Potsane, now 18, will be among a group of 10 representatives from the Duke of Sussex’s charity Sentebale who will be among the first group to greet the newlyweds.
Mutsu, whose proper first name is Relebohile, first met the Prince at the Mants’ase Children’s Home for orphans near Mohale’s Hoek, outside Lesotho’s capital Maseru. Harry went to the children’s home to help youngsters stricken by an HIV and Aids crisis. Like many of the children Harry met, Mutsu was vulnerable and in need of some tender loving care. The little boy stuck to Harry like glue, attracted to the laughing Englishman who entertained him and bought him a pair of blue wellington boots that Mutsu wore to bed for a long time.
There are 600 people on the official guest list, for the service is at St George’s Chapel, followed by a reception at St George’s Hall, which is being hosted by the Queen. 200 guests are invited to the private reception at Frogmore House in Windsor Home Park. 2,640 members of the public who were invited into the grounds of Windsor Castle for the big day stream in. These are made up of 1,200 nominated by nine regional Lord Lieutenent officers; 200 people from charities and organisations; 100 pupils from local schools the Royal School and St George’s School; 610 Windsor Castle’s community members; 530 members of the Royal Households and Crown Estate.
Saturday’s Royal wedding ceremony, with each detail chosen by the couple, will blend the best-loved elements of British pageantry with a modern outlook that reflects the Prince and Ms Markle, in a service designed to capture the best of each of their heritage.
From the music of Sir Charles Hubert Parry and a reading from the Bible to a procession of a newlyweds accompanied by a rendition of This Little Light of Mine, their choices go to the heart of their relationship: English customs blended with an American influence, offset by an overriding message of joy. The Prince and Ms Markle last night waved goodbye to their single lives, with the bride proclaiming she felt “wonderful” as she went to bed for the final time before joining the Royal family.
Earlier, the Queen has announced the formal titles Prince Harry and his wife will be getting.
Prince Harry, or to give him his formal title, Prince Henry of Wales, has been made Duke of Sussex, Earl of Dumbarton and Baron Kilkeel. So he will be His Royal Highness The Duke of Sussex and, once married, Meghan Marklewill become Her Royal Highness The Duchess of Sussex.
