Prince William and Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, followed a similar wedding timeline. The two got engaged in November 2010 and were married five months later , on April 29, 2011. Harry and Markle most likely chose to wed in May because William and Kate are expected to welcome their third child in April.

While William and Kate were married at Westminster Abbey, Harry and Markle have opted to marry at St Georges Chapel at Windsor Castle. Though its a much smaller location, its extremely meaningful to the couple.

Windsor is a very special place for Prince Harry and he and Ms. Markle have regularly spent time there over the last year and a half, Kensington Palace said in a statement in November.
