Meghan Markle gets baptized and confirmed in secret ceremony
To become a fully-fledged member of the church of England, Meghan Markle was reportedly baptized and confirmed in a secret ceremony at St James's Palace in London. Markle and Prince Harry's wedding is set to take place on May 19.
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s wedding invitations have been mailed to some 600 lucky guests to celebrate the big day.
Kensington Palace unveiled on Thursday a sample of the couple’s invitations, which were sent “in the name of His Royal Highness The Prince of Wales" for the May 19 wedding at St. George’s Chapel, in Windsor Castle.

Along with the 600 people invited to the service, another 200 close friends received an invitation to an after-party at Frogmore House.
“Guests have been invited to the service at St George's Chapel and to the lunchtime reception at St George's Hall, which is being given by Her Majesty The Queen,” the palace stated. “Later that evening, around 200 guests are being invited to the reception at Frogmore House given by The Prince of Wales.”

The invitations were created by Barnard and Westwood, a printing company that has worked with the royal family since 1985. The invitations featured letters in black ink with the Prince Charles’ Three-Feathered Badge printed in gold on the top. The invitations were burnished, gilded on the edges and completed with a gold border.
“Lottie Small, who recently completed her apprenticeship, printed all of the invitations in a process known as die stamping, on a machine from the 1930s that she affectionately nicknamed Maude,” the palace tweeted.
A photo of the invitations shows the message to guests: "His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, K.G., K.T. requests the pleasure of the company of [guests] at the marriage of his royal highness Prince Henry of Wales with Ms. Meghan Markle at St George's Chapel, Windsor Castle on Saturday, 19th May 2018 at 12 noon followed by a reception at Windsor Castle.”

It’s unclear yet who made it on the official guest list.
On Feb. 27, Spice Girls member Mel B said on the talk show "The Real" that she will attend the couple's nuptials — and revealed that her fellow bandmates were invited, too. The singer didn't confirm if the pop group would perform at the wedding reception.
The dress code for the wedding is uniform, morning coat or lounge suit, and day dress with hat.
