QUEEN Elizabeth , Formally Approves Prince Harry And Meghan Markel’s Marriage.. But There's An Omission
The Queen has given her consent for the marriage between Prince Harry and Meghan Markel but observers seem to spot a difference in the letter with the one she wrote when Williams and Kate were about to get married.
According to Express.co.Uk, when the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge got engaged, the Queen signed an Instrument of Consent in February 2011 describing Kate as
“Our Trusty and Well-beloved Catherine Elizabeth Middleton”.
But Harry’s Los Angeles-born actress fiancee is simply “Rachel Meghan Markle”.
The 91-year-old monarch, however, is not making a point.
A source said:
“Trusty and well-beloved is language reserved for citizens of the UK or Her Majesty’s other realms.”
The Royal Marriage Act of 1772 states that all royal weddings require the Monarch's prior approval
Letter of consent.
Below is Letter the Queen wrote:
“My Lords, I declare My Consent to a Contract of Matrimony between My Most Dearly Beloved Grandson Prince Henry Charles Albert David of Wales and Rachel Meghan Markle, which Consent I am causing to be signified under the Great Seal and to be entered in the Books of the Privy Council.”
The law was passed after George II’s grandson married a common widow against the wishes of the Monarch.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will marry in St George's Chapel in Windsor on May 19.
