When Royal Love Meets Scottish Charm
Hey there, friends. Let’s dive into the heartwarming tale of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s trip to Scotland. On a crisp Tuesday, February 13, this dynamic duo embarked on their first official visit to the region as a couple. As they arrived at the majestic Edinburgh Castle, they didn’t hesitate to stop and chat with the excited crowd waiting to catch a glimpse of them. It was a delightful moment, filled with smiles and heartfelt conversations, as the couple connected with their admirers on the esplanade outside this iconic landmark.
Meghan Talks Bachelorette Plans
Now, let’s get to the juicy details. At one point during their visit, Meghan—dressed to the nines in a chic Burberry tartan coat and Veronica Beard trousers—was asked about her upcoming bachelorette party. While she confessed that the exact plans were still a mystery to her, she assured everyone that everything was under control. “It’s sorted, but it will be fun,” Meghan told the crowd, sparking excitement among the well-wishers. One attendee, Tom Martin, shared with People that the couple was asked about their stag and hen dos. Harry, ever the gentleman, admitted he wasn’t privy to the details but hinted that his brother, Prince William, might have something special planned.

Harry and Meghan Meet a Tiny Pony
Prince Harry, 33, and Meghan, 36, added a touch of whimsy to their visit when they met a tiny Shetland pony named Cruachan. This adorable little creature is the regimental mascot of the Royal Regiment of Scotland. But Cruachan, perhaps overwhelmed by meeting royalty, attempted to swipe at Harry’s hand at one point. Quick-thinking Harry pulled his hand away just in time, then playfully reprimanded the cheeky pony. The couple laughed it off, finding humor in the unexpected encounter, and continued their visit, learning more about organizations that support the community and celebrating youth as part of the Scottish Year of Young People 2018.
Meghan's Quiet Charitable Efforts
Before their wedding, Meghan has been making quiet visits to charitable organizations, including the victims of the Grenfell Tower fire. Her efforts have earned her praise from those affected by the tragedy, with one person telling The Mirror, “It means so much. She has a special place in our hearts.” Meghan even visited the Al Manaar community mosque near the remains of Grenfell Tower, demonstrating her commitment to understanding the charity sector. These visits echo the legacy of Princess Diana, who also made secret trips to support the homeless and visit shelters during her time at Kensington Palace.
Wedding Plans and Royal Traditions
Fast forward to May 19, when Harry and Meghan will tie the knot at Windsor Castle. Following the ceremony, the newlyweds will embark on a carriage procession through the town, greeting well-wishers from around the world. This moment will undoubtedly bring to mind the joyous scenes from William and Kate Middleton’s wedding in 2011. The day will continue with a daytime reception at St. George’s Hall and an evening private reception hosted by Prince Charles, ensuring a blend of tradition and personal touches.
