The Royal Courtship and Engagement
Prince Henry of Wales, known as Prince Harry, is the second son of Charles, Prince of Wales and Diana, Princess of Wales. He and Meghan Markle, an American actress best known for her role in
Suits
, have been in a relationship since June 2016. The relationship was first acknowledged on 8 November 2016, when an official statement was released from the royal family's communications secretary addressing the "wave of abuse and harassment" directed toward Markle. At first, the British media did not like Harry dating Meghan, but she won them over with her undeniable charm.
On 27 November 2017, the Office of the Prince of Wales at Clarence House made the official announcement of the engagement: “His Royal Highness The Prince of Wales is delighted to announce the engagement of Prince Harry to Ms. Meghan Markle.” Prince Harry personally designed the engagement ring, choosing two small diamonds that belonged to his mother, Princess Diana, to flank a larger center stone.
On 15 December 2017 the announcement was made that the marriage of Prince Harry and Ms Markle would take place on 19 May 2018 at St George’s Chapel, Windsor Castle. Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II used her 2017 Christmas message to officially welcome Ms. Markle into the royal family, following the announcement of her engagement to Prince Harry one month earlier.
After the engagement, Markle began the years-long process of becoming a British citizen. She will retain her U.S. citizenship during the process, but Kensington Palace have indicated that the decision on whether she will retain dual nationality had not yet been made. The couple was invited to celebrate Christmas 2017 with the royal family at the Queen's Sandringham estate. The official engagement photographs were taken by Alexi Lubomirski, a former assistant to Mario Testino, at Frogmore House, and were issued by Kensington Palace on 21 December 2017.
An Unique Royal Wedding!
Following the engagement, it was announced that the wedding would take place on 19 May 2018 at St. George's Chapel, at Windsor Castle. The venue was previously the site for the weddings of Prince Harry's uncle, the Earl of Wessex, and his cousin, Peter Phillips, as well as the blessing for the marriage of Harry's father, Charles the Prince of Wales and Camilla Parker Bowles, Harry's stepmother. Experts expect the wedding to cost around ₤500,000. Fortunately, the royal family have announced that they will pay for the wedding.
Much about this British royal wedding is different from the past and breaks with tradition. Meghan Markle will be only the second American (after Wallace Simpson) and the first person of mixed race or racial heritage to marry into the British royal family. The engagement announcement prompted much comment about the possible social significance of Meghan Markle becoming a proudly mixed-race royal.
Since Harry was fifth in the line of succession to the British throne at the time of his engagement, he had to obtain Queen Elizabeth's permission to marry, under the Succession to the Crown Act 2013, which allows the monarch to approve or disapprove marriages of the first six persons in the line of succession. Fortunately, Queen's consent was declared to the Privy Council of the United Kingdom on 14 March 2018.
Although Ms. Markle attended a private Catholic school in her early years, she does not identify as Roman Catholic. On 6 March 2018 she was baptized and confirmed into the Church of England by the Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby at St. James' Palace. Fortunately, the Church of England no longer denies marriage to divorced persons with a living spouse.
Obverse
The extraordinary design of this coin centers on an engraved portrait of the happy couple, set in front of the beautiful stained glass windows of St. George's Chapel, at Windsor Castle. The legends THE ROYAL WEDDING and HRH PRINCE HENRY OF WALES & MS MEGHAN MARKLE mark the occasion. Their monogram initials H&M, inside shields, as well as the date of the wedding, 19TH MAY 2018, are indicated. May other emblems of royalty, including the Rose of England; an exterior view of St. George's Chapel at Windsor Castle; and the coat of arms of Great Britain, with lion and unicorn supporters, are intricately engraved!
Reverse
Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II, in crowned profile facing right. This portrait, featuring Her Majesty wearing a tiara and pearl drop earrings, was executed by the sculptor Ian Rank Broadley. The legend ELIZABETH II, the date of issue and denomination also appear, while the legend 1 OZ 999 SILVER guarantees the weight and purity.
