The Queen showed her support for Harry, 33, and Meghan, 36, by throwing the couple the lunchtime reception at St. George's Hall at Windsor Castle following their wedding ceremony at St. George's Chapel on May 19.
Further, ahead of her grandson's big day, the 92-year-old monarch offered her approval for Harry to wed Meghan, as he was required formal permission to marry under the Succession to the Crown Act.
'My Lords, I declare My Consent to a Contract of Matrimony between My Most Dearly Beloved Grandson Prince Henry Charles Albert David of Wales and Rachel Meghan Markle, which Consent I am causing to be signified under the Great Seal and to be entered in the Books of the Privy Council,' the Queen wrote in a letter released by Buckingham Palace on March 15.
Currently, Meghan and Harry are on their honeymoon.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex decided to honeymoon in remote but beautiful Namibia, a celeb favourite, with stars such as Charlize Theron, Angelina Jolie, and Brad Pitt all having holidayed there in the past.
‘Harry and Meghan want to go ‘glamping’ under the stars in the former German colony of South West Africa, one of the least populated countries in the world for its size,’ reveals royal expert, Phil Dampier.
‘The couple adore Africa and the prince wooed Meghan in Botswana, which he knows well. They would love to go to Namibia because, with the right guides, they can escape from the press and enjoy themselves.’
‘Harry isn’t holding back when it comes to splashing out,’ an insider revealed to Life & Style.
‘He’s willing to spend as much as US$1 million to make it perfect.
‘They’ll be surrounded by mountains, sand dunes and wildlife, and will enjoy candlelit dinners in complete seclusion,’ continues the source, who also added that the prince is planning to fill their days with safaris, horse riding and private tours.
