Meghan Markle & Harry’s wedding invitations are ‘American ink on English card’
March 23, 2018
I wasn’t going to even write about this, but I found one detail so poetic, now we have to talk about it. Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s wedding invitations have officially gone out. On Thursday, Kensington Palace confirmed the invites had gone out with a series of tweets about how the invitations were made and what they look like. Since Harry is Prince Harry of Wales, the second son of the Prince of Wales, the invitations carry the fleur-de-lil “badge.”
Kensington Palace says that the wedding invitations will specify which parts of the wedding guests are being invited to – there’s the service at St. George’s Chapel, the “lunchtime reception at St George’s Hall, which is being given by Her Majesty The Queen.” And then “Later that evening, around 200 guests are being invited to the reception at Frogmore House given by The Prince of Wales.” As in, not all of the wedding guests are being invited to Frogmore House. It’s too small. But here’s what I found fascinating about the wedding invitations:
“American ink on English card.” Perfect. The bland, stiff, pale English paper is the blank slate for the black American ink. Meghan is the black ink and she’s writing herself all over Harry’s cardstock.
Allegedly, Harry has invited his exes Chelsy Davy and Cressida Bonas, as well as maybe-hookup Ellie Goulding. That’s what The Sun claims. I have my doubts.
