Hey there, royal enthusiasts! Prince Charles and Camilla Parker-Bowles are currently on an official tour of France and Greece, but guess what? They’re still buzzing about one of the most anticipated events of the year—Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s wedding. During a stop at a flower market in Nice, France, the father of the groom and his wife opened up about their excitement surrounding the upcoming nuptials. Let’s dive into what they had to say!

Charles and Camilla Share Their Excitement About the Royal Wedding

When asked how he was feeling about his son Harry tying the knot with Meghan, Prince Charles couldn’t hide his joy. “It’s absolutely marvelous,” he reportedly said with a big smile. “I’m sure it will be a very special day for everybody.” Now, that’s some heartfelt enthusiasm right there! Meanwhile, Camilla chimed in, sharing just how thrilled she is to have gotten to know Meghan leading up to the big day. “It’s very nice, all very exciting,” she gushed, adding, “We can’t wait!”

According to royal correspondent Richard Palmer, Charles and Camilla even went so far as to call Meghan “a great girl.” Clearly, they’re completely smitten with her. And as the tour winds down, the royal couple is expected to head back to the UK later this week, giving them plenty of time to prepare for the wedding extravaganza.

The Wedding Plans: A Break With Tradition

Fasten your seatbelts because things are about to get interesting! Harry, 33, and Meghan, 36, are set to exchange their vows at St. George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle on Saturday, May 19. Here’s the scoop: Meghan will be walked down the aisle by her father, Thomas Markle, while her mom, Doria Ragland, will escort her from an undisclosed location to the chapel for the ceremony. This arrangement, which beautifully includes both parents, is actually a break from royal tradition. Normally, the bride travels with her father before he gives her away in the wedding ceremony. But hey, change is good, right?

Kensington Palace Confirms the Details

Kensington Palace has officially confirmed the news. “Both of the bride’s parents will have important roles in the wedding. On the morning of the wedding, Ms. Ragland will travel with Ms. Markle by car to Windsor Castle. Mr. Markle will walk his daughter down the aisle of St. George’s Chapel. Ms. Markle is delighted to have her parents by her side on this important and happy occasion,” a royal spokesperson revealed. It sounds like everything is falling into place perfectly.

Thomas, a retired lighting director who lives in Mexico, and Doria, a yoga teacher and social worker based in LA, will be jetting off to the UK ahead of the wedding to meet some pretty big names. They’ll get to rub shoulders with Queen Elizabeth, Prince Philip, Prince Charles, Duchess Camilla, Prince William, and Kate Middleton. Oh, and here’s a fun twist—this will also be the first time Harry and Thomas meet in person. Up until now, they’ve only spoken on the phone. Talk about a momentous occasion!

Now, I don’t know about you, but I’m counting down the days until the big day. Who else is ready for the wedding of the year?
