It is thought Harry, 33, who is a former soldier, may wear his uniform.

He spent ten years in the Armed Forces and conducted two tours of Afghanistan with the British Army. He took over from the Duke of Edinburgh as Captain General of the Royal Marines last year.

Harry and Meghan’s dress code is the same as Prince William and Kate Middleton requested at their 2011 wedding.

A lounge suit is generally regarded as being a smart suit and tie, while a morning suit is the more traditional form of dress for a royal event.

Harry and Meghan’s invites have been issued in the name of His Royal Highness, The Prince of Wales, requesting the pleasure of guests’ company at His Royal Highness, Prince Henry of Wales’ wedding to Ms. Meghan Markle.

They were printed by Barnard and Westwood, a printers and bookbinders in London that holds Royal Warrants for The Queen and The Prince of Wales.

The couple have invited 600 guests to their nuptials at St. George’s Chapel and an afternoon reception hosted by The Queen.

Later that evening, around 200 guests have invited to an exclusive reception at Frogmore House, hosted by The Prince of Wales.

Harry and Meghan, 36, will tie the knot at midday, with Justin Welby, The Archbishop Of Canterbury, overseeing the vows.

They will have a carriage procession through Windsor ahead of their reception lunch.
