Today marks the wedding of the year – where the stunning Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have said their vows in front of the Nation.
Of course, one key person is missing today – Harrys beloved mother, Princess Diana.
However, the couple were keen to ensure that she isnt forgotten, with three of her siblings invited – and her sister Jane, gave poignant reading in Dianas absence.
In a previous statement, the palace revealed, In addition to having the support of The Queen, his father The Prince of Wales, and his brother Prince William as Best Man, Prince Harry is also keen to involve his mothers family in his wedding.
And thats not the only way Dianas memory was marked on the day. When guests walked into St James Chapel in Windsor Castle, they did so under an elaborate archway made up of Dianas favourite flowers. Adorning the organ loft and entry way were hundreds peonies and white garden roses as a stunning tribute to Harrys mother.
Reportedly, Prince Harry handpicked the flowers himself for Meghans bouquet from Kensington Palace, including forget-me-nots, a preferred flower of Princess Diana.
The couple also included the hymn, Guide Me Oh Thy Great Redeemer, which was sung at Princess Dianas funeral in 1997.
To honour their mothers legacy, and her tireless charity work, the couple asked wedding guests to donate money to one of Dianas chosen charities – The Childrens HIV Association – as well numerous other charities Diana was involved in.
