Ever since Meghan Markle s historic engagement to Prince Harry , the former actress has broken royal tradition a number of times.

Granted, its all by doing very normal things like signing autographs for fans, celebrating Christmas with the royal family and showing some occasional PDA with the prince. But now, the former actress wants to change the way the royal family does weddings.

According to the Sunday Times, the 36-year-old reportedly wants to give an affectionate speech to Prince Harry at the couples wedding reception. At the May 19 nuptials, she also plans to thank Queen Elizabeth , as well as the couples family and friends, for hosting the wedding at Windsor Castle .

If the speech happens, itll certainly be a big deal for the royal family and future royal weddings, Amber Harrison , head of weddings at Shutterfly, told HuffPost.

Historically at a royal wedding reception, the brides father would speak on her behalf, and the other speeches are reserved for the groom and the best man, Harrison said, adding that Markle would be breaking centuries of royal tradition if she gave a speech at her reception.

Harrison added that Markles decision to reportedly break with tradition is refreshing and admittedly not too surprising, as Meghan has already shattered a number of traditions on her path to becoming a royal.
