The Royal Wedding Guest List Counts More Stars Than Politicians

It’s almost here. Set to take over the news, social media, and electronic devices everywhere is the royal wedding of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry. Fans of the royals will have their eyes set on the couple and who will be in attendance. We know your invitation got lost in the mail so you won’t be able to rub shoulders with monarchs, athletes, or celeb guests, but if you want, you can be there in spirit. The guest list for the ceremony at St. George’s Chapel stands at 600 - considerably less than Prince William’s, which topped out at 1,900. If you’ve been wondering which stars will be filing into the church on Saturday, May 19, you’re not alone. The media has been going crazy trying to pin down who’s been invited, who wasn’t, and who will most certainly be showing their faces.

When Prince Harry and Meghan Markle say "I-do" on May 19, it will not only be a royal wedding, but also a Hollywood one. As a former actress, Meghan Markle has invited many A-list celebrities to the English affair. Besides Prince Harry’s extensive family, many of Meghan’s close family and friends are looking forward to sharing in the couple’s big day. Though the list has been kept under wraps, there are quite a few recognizable names that are expected to be in the house.

Aside from Harry’s brother, prince William and his wife, Kate Middleton, additional star invitees include: the cast of “Suits”, Sir Elton John, musician, Priyanka Chopra, actress, Serena Williams, tennis legend, David and Victoria Beckham, athlete and a pop star/designer. In addition to the 600 guests coming to the ceremony, Meghan and Harry have also invited over 2,500 members of the public to be present on the castle grounds. Those guests are made up of young students, locals, and people from communities across the United Kingdom.
