5 Things That Will Make Prince Harry And Meghan Markle's Wedding A Groundbreaking Royal Event!

It is time to hold our hearts because the day has finally arrived when the Royal wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will take place. The wedding happened just a few hours and the union will be groundbreaking in so many ways. As the Royal celebrations have already kickstarted to welcome the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, let us have a look at all the things that happened for the first time during Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's wedding:

1. She is the first Duchess who is of the mixed race

Meghan Markle is a woman of the mixed race and she has had a very humble start. She was from a neighbourhood that is not unknown to gangs and crimes. She is the first member of the royal family to belong to the mixed race.

2. She was a Catholic

The Royal family of England are Protestants and Queen Elizabeth heads the Protestant Church of England. Thanks to the law passed in 2015, Meghan Markle's Catholic background did not matter in her wedding.

3. She is the first Duchess to be from America.

Meghan Markle was born and brought up in California and she is the first member of the royal family who is from America!

4. She was not accompanied by her father

The bride not being accompanied by her father during the royal wedding has happened before in the family, but it was because the father of the bride had passed away. This was the first time that the bride did not walk the aisle with her father, even though he is alive. It is because Meghan's father suffered a stroke a few years back and is unwell. The only member of her family who attended the wedding was her mother.

5. This was Meghan's second marriage

Well, the good thing is this is not the first time that someone from the royal family married a woman who was already married before. But earlier when it happened, there was a huge hue and cry about it and Duke Edward had to give up his position. This time thankfully, the entire wedding happened smoothly.
