For reasons that make total sense but are still a bummer for nerdy fans of the royal family (hi!), Prince Harry values this little thing called "privacy"—especially when it comes to his much-talked about relationship with Meghan Markle. And apparently that quest for privacy extends to his upcoming potential wedding.
While Meghan and Harry haven't announced an official engagement, it seems pretty obvious that it's just around the corner—which means a royal wedding is just around another corner. But the Prince doesn't want the same attention that William and Kate had on their big day. (Reminder: The event was televised around the world).
"Pomp and pageantry is the last thing he would want," a source tells Us Weekly. "I can see him wanting to get married at St George's Chapel at Windsor Castle. It would stop it from turning into a total media circus and give the day a sense of privacy that Harry so badly craves."
It's unclear whether getting married at a smaller venue means the media wouldn't be invited, but it sounds like at the very least this wedding might not make it to a TV screen near you. But their engagement could!
A source adds that Meghan and Harry "will most likely hold a small photo call at Kensington Palace, with just one photographer and a journalist invited. On the same day, they'll do a TV interview that will be syndicated around the world."
Cool, any day now guys, tick-tock.
