The couple visited a breeding programme for the endangered species and admired two three-day-old chicks, whom they named Koha, meaning 'gift', and Tihei, derived from a phrase that means "sneeze of life" in the indigenous Te Reo Maori language. 
 
Earlier, Harry led a group at a Maori meeting ground in singing 'Te Aroha', a traditional song, whose name means 'Love'&nbsp;in Te Reo. 
 
The couple was welcomed at Te Papaiouru Marae, visited by Harry's grandmother Queen Elizabeth in her coronation year of 1953, in Rotorua, a town famed for its geothermal activity and described by its mayor as the 'heartland of Maori culture'.&nbsp; 
 
Meghan, who wore a navy Stella McCartney dress and a carved greenstone necklace gifted by the country`s governor general and Harry, in a grey suit, were both adorned with feathered cloaks gifted by local Maori.

Harry began his speech in the Te Reo language and ended it with a Maori proverb, drawing applause from the crowd with his strong pronunciation. 
Then he led the song.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle name two young chicks in New Zealand

Britain's Prince Harry and his wife Meghan threw rubber gumboots on Tuesday as children cheered in a competition in New Zealand's largest city of Auckland, though Harry`s team ended up losing to his wife's side. 
&nbsp; 
A 6.1 magnitude earthquake felt by thousands of people in New Zealand did not disrupt the schedule of the couple, who are on the final leg of a Pacific tour that has included Australia, Fiji and Tonga.&nbsp; 
 
"There wasn't too much of a rivalry," Isabella Iti, 10, said after the gumboot toss. "I think she was thinking that there was no chance that she would win. But she did." 
 
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were visiting a conservation area north of Auckland that had been set aside as part of a Commonwealth initiative to honour Queen Elizabeth's 66 years on the British throne.&nbsp; 
 
There, the couple split off and each led a team of cheering children in a competition to see who could throw a rubber rainboot - known locally as a 'gumboot'&nbsp;- the farthest. 
 
Meghan, wearing black J Crew jeans and a Karen Walker blazer, led her team to victory after tossing a blue boot about a metre (3.2 feet) further than Harry`s red one. 
 
 
Gumboot throwing is famously associated with the rural town of Taihape, around 420 km (260 miles) south of Auckland, which hosts an annual gumboot festival.&nbsp; 
 
Mike Jebsen, chief executive of the QEII National Trust, said the mayor of Taihape gave his blessing to hold the gumboot competition.&nbsp; 
 
"We wanted to give the royal couple a taste of rural New Zealand, and there`s nothing more quintessentially Kiwi than a gumboot throw!" he said. 
 
In the afternoon, Meghan and Harry travelled to South Auckland to visit the head office of Pillars, a charity that mentors the children of prisoners.&nbsp; 
 
For their wedding in May, Meghan and Harry had asked for charitable donations in lieu of gifts. The New Zealand government gave NZ$5,000 ($3,271) to Pillars in recognition of couple`s interest in programmes that support vulnerable children.&nbsp;

Prince Harry loses to Meghan Markle in a gumboot toss in New Zealand

For all those who have been a fan of the Prince brothers, William and Harry can now sit brooding like us as the two are said to end their double act considering they no longer depend on one another.&nbsp; 
&nbsp; 
Prince William and Prince Harry will reportedly split paths as the Duke of Cambridge and Duke of Sussex have to now adopt newer responsibilities and moreover have their own families to take care of. William is married to Kate Middleton and has kids with her while Harry recently married Meghan Markle and are expecting their first child next spring.&nbsp; 
&nbsp; 
A source close to the brothers told Sunday Times: “The brothers have leaned on each other and looked after each other since their mother died. But now they have their own families, they no longer rely on each other as before.” 
&nbsp; 
Their split would mean an official separation of the royal household at Kensington Palace, with William, aged 36, and Harry 34, playing in separate courts as they take on differing tasks. 
&nbsp; 
Prince William will soon succeed his father Charles as Prince of Wales and will have “a lot of extra responsibilities” while Prince Harry will have no such pressure. This is likely to come into effect after Duchess of Sussex will give birth to their first kid.&nbsp; 
&nbsp; 
Kensington Palace is yet to respond to this.&nbsp;

Currently, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are on a 16-day long <a href="http://www.wionews.com/world/prince-harry-megan-arrive-in-australia-for-first-overseas-tour-171528">tour</a> to Australia, New Zealand, Fiji.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle first made a visit to a drought-stricken town in Australia where they were seen interacting with farmers.

Prince Harry visits Fraser Island forest

Prince Harry greeted by local Butchulla tribe

Prince Harry greeted an<a href="http://www.wionews.com/entertainment/prince-harry-and-meghan-markle-join-in-a-group-hug-at-a-fluro-friday-event-on-australian-beach-172298"> Aboriginal community on the stunning</a> World Heritage-listed Fraser Island Monday as his pregnant wife Meghan took a break from official duties during the royal couple's Australian tour.

The pair have already travelled to Sydney, Melbourne and the regional town of Dubbo since touching down in Australia last Monday, drawing thousands of screaming fans to their events.

The visit to Fraser Island off the coast of Queensland state took on a different tone, as the Duke of Sussex was greeted with a traditional Aboriginal ceremony from the local Butchulla people on the peaceful shores of Lake McKenzie.

Harry later walked barefoot on the soft white sands of the lake, a source of drinking water for the Butchulla people, and splashed water on his face.

Fraser is the world's largest sand island and the prince was due to unveil a plaque to dedicate the holiday site's acres of rainforests to the Queen's Commonwealth Canopy project.

His visit will also touch on other environmental issues, a cause close to his father Prince Charles' heart, when he meets with park rangers to learn more about the island's plants and animals.

Later, he will meet with two Hervey Bay paramedics, who are being recognised for granting a dying woman's final wish by taking her to the beach.

A photo of a paramedic beside a stretcher facing the ocean was posted on Facebook last year and went viral around the world.

The royal couple had earlier arrived in Queensland by plane before travelling to the island separately.

Harry boarded a barge, a route used by tourists to travel to the island, while the Duchess of Sussex took a different vessel and then retreated to a private residence.

Her choice of dress, a maroon number with white polka dots, sparked excitement in Queensland, as the deep brownish-red happens to also been the official colour of the state.

Australia: Prince Harry goes to Fraser island, Meghan takes a break

Britain's Prince Harry and his wife Meghan joined in a group hug at a "Fluro Friday" event on Australia`s Bondi Beach organised by surfers to raise awareness of mental health issues. 
 
Harry, who has said he sought counselling in his late twenties to deal with the grief of losing his mother Diana, served in British Army and campaigns to provide mental health help for soldiers who need it.&nbsp; 
 
Harry, wearing khaki trousers and blue shirt, with Meghan in an ankle-length striped dress, kicked off their shoes to sit with members of community group OneWave, which tackles mental health issues using "saltwater therapy, surfing and fluro". 
 
Fluro, short for fluorescent, refers to the brightly-coloured shirts and flower garlands that members of the surfing group wear. 
 
After listening to speakers in the circle for a few minutes, Harry, wearing a garland of blue flowers around his neck, and Meghan, one of pink, joined in the group hug. 
 
&nbsp;''Each and every one of us will experience poor mental health at some stage in our lives," Charlotte Connell, who was in the circle, told the Australian Associated Press. 
 
The couple occasionally clasped hands during the circle event, and later posed with a surfboard.&nbsp; 
 
Harry served in the British Army for 10 years, including two stints in Afghanistan, and now works with several charities, including supporting wounded soldiers. 
 
&nbsp;Along with his brother Prince William and his wife Catherine, Harry also set up a mental health charity. 
 
Prince Harry and Meghan are on their first international tour since marrying in May. It will also take them to New Zealand and the South Pacific islands of Fiji and Tonga.&nbsp; 
 
After the event, the couple strolled along Bondi Beach, shaking hands and posing for photographs with some of the thousands of people who turned out for the Royals, snapping pictures and video with their smartphones.&nbsp; 
 
Crowds have thronged for a glimpse of the couple, who are expecting their first child in the northern spring. The child will be seventh in line to the British throne. 
 
The trip coincides with the Invictus Games to be held in Sydney from Saturday until Oct. 27. The games, founded by Harry, are an international paralympic-style event for military personnel wounded in action.

Watch: Prince Harry helps raise Invictus flag atop Sydney Harbour Bridge

Britain's Prince Harry and his wife&nbsp;Meghan Markle, arrived with the gift of much-needed rain and cheer on Wednesday for the rural Australian city of Dubbo, where farmers are struggling with a prolonged drought. 
 
The prince charmed the crowd at a picnic in the town`s main park, standing at a podium in the pouring rain with Meghan holding an umbrella over him, on the second day of their Pacific tour, which takes in Australia, New Zealand, Fiji and Tonga. 
 
"The rain is a gift!" Prince Harry told the thousands who had come out to see the royal couple in Dubbo, about 300 km (185 miles) northwest of Sydney. 
 
They had earlier visited a farm hit by the drought and Harry recalled his own stay on an Australian farm 15 years ago, where he said he was chased by countless cattle and perfected the Aussie salute of swatting flies. 
 
"You are the salt of the earth. Honest, hard-working, and as tough as they come," Harry said.&nbsp; 
 
In an issue close to his heart, he urged those facing mental health problems due to the tough times plaguing rural Australia to seek help. 
 
"You are all in this together and, if I may say, personally, we are all in this together - because asking for help was one of the best decisions that I ever made. You will be continually amazed how life changes for the better," he said to cheers and applause. 
&nbsp; 
The royal couple`s visit to Australia coincides with the Invictus Games in Sydney from Oct. 20-27. The games, founded by Harry, are an international paralympic-style event that aims to lift the spirits of wounded military veterans. 
 
A 5-year-old boy earlier stole the show in a long line of school children who met the royals at Dubbo airport. 
 
Luke Vincent, who has Down Syndrome and adores Santa Claus, threw his arms around Meghan when she knelt down to greet him and tugged at Harry's beard and patted him on the head when the prince hugged the boy. 
 
Meghan, who is expecting the royal couple`s first child in the northern spring, wore skinny black jeans, a white shirt, long grey jacket and black boots with her hair tied back in a ponytail. 
 
Prince Harry and Meghan, on their first international tour since marrying in May, also visited the Royal Flying Doctor Service in Dubbo.

The medical service was anointed as "royal" in 1955 after Queen Elizabeth, Harry`s grandmother, visited Australia.

It is the second tour of Australia by the younger generation of royals, after Prince William, Kate and their eldest son, George, visited in 2014.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are to ride a ferry across Sydney Harbour past the Opera House on Tuesday, as well as watch an indigenous contemporary dance troupe and see koalas at the Taronga Zoo. The couple will meet farmers affected by a severe drought on Wednesday.

Their trip coincides with the Invictus Games to be held in Sydney from October 20-27. The games founded by Harry are an international paralympic-style event for military personnel wounded in action.

Harry and Meghan will also visit New Zealand and the South Pacific islands of Tonga and Fiji during their tour.

Australia, a constitutional monarchy whose head of state is the British monarch, voted in 1999 against becoming a republic.

Prince Harry, Megan arrive in Australia for first overseas tour

Britain’s newest royal Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, will join Queen Elizabeth on Thursday for her first official engagements without husband Prince Harry.

Meghan, who married the monarch’s grandson in a glittering ceremony at her Windsor Castle home last month, will travel by the Royal Train to northwest England for a day of events.

While millions around the world watched the pomp and pageantry of her wedding, Thursday’s visit will be more typical of the engagements that the former American actress, a star of the TV drama “Suits”, will carry out as a working member of the British royal family.

The queen, 92 and Meghan, 36, will first officially open the Mersey Gateway Bridge, a new toll bridge over the River Mersey and one of the UK’s biggest infrastructure projects in recent years.

They then will travel to Chester to open the Storyhouse, a library, theatre and cinema complex in the city, and to watch a dance performance and listen to songs performed by local schoolchildren before having lunch at the town hall.

Earlier this week, Harry’s office announced that the prince and Meghan would travel to Australia, Fiji, Tonga and New Zealand later this year.

The train ride is for official purposes as Meghan will be making visits as a working member of the British royal family.

UK's Queen Elizabeth takes Meghan Markle by train on first solo royal trip

The newly-married royal couple is back in news as Prince Harry and Meghan Markle decide to return the £7 million-worth (Rs 625 million) of wedding gifts as these are unsolicited presents from well-wishers and companies looking for publicity.

As per royal guidelines, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are prohibited from accepting any gifts for commercial purposes. This is for all brands and commercial ventures who are looking to gain by their association with the royal couple. This also includes any well-wishers that the couple personally doesn’t know of.&nbsp;

This is why Prince Harry and Meghan Markle made their public wedding registry ask for donations to charities in lieu of presents. Prior to their wedding, the couple issued guidelines about the big day - including a line about gifts that read: “It should be noted that gifts cannot be brought to St George’s Chapel or the Reception that follows at Windsor Castle. Guests are advised to seek further guidance on delivery arrangements for any gifts to Kensington Palace.”

In a statement, the palace said: “When gifts are accepted, the consent of the Member of the Royal Family should be contingent upon the enterprise undertaking not to exploit the gift for commercial purposes.

“Gifts offered by private individuals living in the UK not personally known to the Member of the Royal Family should be refused where there are concerns about the propriety or motives of the donor or the gift itself.”

Apart from the £7m worth of gifts they cannot keep, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex also received some gifts that they won’t have to return, including a pair of koalas named Meghan and Harry from the Australian region of New South Wales. The koalas will be kept at the Taronga Zoo.&nbsp;

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle to return £7 million-worth of wedding gifts

The royal couple Prince Harry and Meghan Markle appeared at their first official engagement since marrying on May 19 as they attended an event in the gardens of Buckingham Palace on Tuesday to celebrate Prince Harry’s father Prince Charles’ charity patronages and military affiliations ahead of his 70th birthday this year.&nbsp;

Marking the first time that newly anointed Duke and Duchess of Sussex were seen in public since their wedding reception, the couple looked happy as they posed with Prince Charles and Duchess of Cornwall along with charity patronages and more. According to the Kensington Palace, there were several emergency services personnel too who were first responders after the Manchester suicide bombing exactly a year ago which killed 22 people. Charles and Camilla were among the firsts who visited the Manchester Arena last June to meet staff who were first on the scene immediately after the bombing.

The coming together of Charles, Camilla, Harry and Meghan also became special and symbolic of a return favour of-sorts as Charles played an important role in Harry and Meghan’s wedding when he walked her down the aisle as Meghan’s father couldn't make it to the wedding because of health issues.&nbsp;

Meghan chose a pale pink dress by British label Goat and a matching saucer-style hat by milliner Philip Treacy while Harry looked handsome in a European suit.&nbsp;

At the occasion, Harry spoke about his father’s good deeds. He was quoted: "It is your selfless drive to affect change, whether that is to improve the lives of those who are on the wrong path, to save an important piece of our national heritage or to protect a particular species under threat, which [Prince] William and I draw inspiration from every day."

Harry and Meghan are expected to go on a honeymoon later, though nothing has been announced yet.&nbsp;

Taking to Twitter, Chopra shared a picture of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle from yesterday and wrote "Every once in a while there is a moment when time stands still. That happened today.

When time stands still: Priyanka Chopra writes heartfelt note to friend Meghan Markle

Crowds of well-wishers cheered Britain`s Prince Harry as he made an impromptu walkabout on Friday outside the ancient walls of Windsor Castle on the eve of his wedding to U.S. actress Meghan Markle.&nbsp;

Queen Elizabeth`s grandson was joined by Prince William, his elder brother, and best man, as he mingled with excited fans waving red, white and blue Union flags less than 24 hours before Saturday`s lavish ceremony.

One fan handed the prince a teddy bear during the 10-minute excursion before the brothers waved to the royal fans chanting "We want Harry!" and returned to the castle. They were due to spend the night in a luxury hotel nearby.

"I`m gobsmacked. He was so lovely. I can`t get over he shook our hands," said Thelma Speed, 89.&nbsp;

Her daughter Deborah Goodes, 60, who named one of her sons after the prince, was equally smitten.

"I’ve seen him on the television, but in the flesh, he looked really great," she said. "I can see why she’s marrying him."

The walkabout in open-necked shirts came as the last touches were put in place for the royal extravaganza at the castle, to the west of London and home to monarchs for almost 1,000 years.

Harry, 33, will marry Markle, 36, a star of the TV drama "Suits", in the castle`s 15th-century St George`s Chapel at a ceremony that begins at 1100 GMT. 
&nbsp;

CHARLES TO TAKE FATHER`S PLACE

Harry`s office announced that his father Prince Charles, the heir to the throne, would walk Markle down the aisle in place of her father.

Thomas Markle, pulled out days before the event, telling the celebrity website TMZ he was recovering from heart surgery, in a family drama that played out in the glare of media attention.

Buckingham Palace said Markle`s African-American mother, Doria Ragland, had met the 92-year-old queen and her husband Prince Philip, 96 on Friday. It also confirmed that Philip, who had hip replacement surgery last month, would be at the wedding.

Markle and her mother, a yoga instructor who a royal source said had charmed Prince Charles when they met during the week, arrived at a luxury hotel near Windsor where they were to spend the night before the wedding. Markle said she felt "wonderful".

The well-wishers mingling with journalists and armed police were taking in the emotion as well as the pomp.

"Every daughter should have their dad but obviously he`s not very well. I do feel sorry for her. It must be heartbreaking for her," said Moira Moss, who was camping outside the castle.&nbsp;

A former army officer and one-time royal wild child, Harry met Markle in July 2016 on a blind date set up through a mutual friend. Markle said she had known little about him while Harry said he had never heard of Markle or watched her TV series. 
After just two dates, he whisked her off to Botswana for a holiday, camping under the stars.

MODERN BRITAIN?

After the schism of Brexit divided the United Kingdom and triggered a wave of doubt about its future place in the world, the glittering union of one of the most popular royals and an elegant U.S. divorcee may offer some distraction.

The British remain broadly supportive of the monarchy, albeit with a sense of mild irony about the pomp and pageantry that accompany it, though many have deep respect for the current monarch, Queen Elizabeth, after 66 years of dutiful service.&nbsp;

For some black Britons, the prospect of a mixed-race princess has increased interest in the monarchy, so far all white. The wedding address will be given by a black American bishop.

"Meghan will bring a new perspective to the royal family," royal biographer Claudia Joseph said. "Obviously she comes from a very different background and ... that’s hugely important to take the royal family into the future."

This wedding has drawn comparisons with some remarkable episodes of recent royal history: Edward VIII’s relationship with American divorcee Wallis Simpson, which led him to abdicate in 1936, and the queen’s late sister Margaret’s decision to call off her marriage to an equerry, Peter Townsend.

But many Britons will not even watch the wedding, despite massive media interest.

WEDDING FEVER

Markle is expected to enter the chapel alone with her bridesmaids and page boys before joining Charles in the choir - the area where the clergy and choristers sit.

After the hour-long ceremony, the couple will process through Windsor`s ancient streets in an open 19th-century Ascot Landau carriage pulled by four Windsor Grey horses.

Markle`s wedding cake - a lemon and elderflower creation with buttercream icing - took six bakers five days to prepare, according to its designer Claire Ptak.

Police were expecting more than 100,000 people to throng the streets outside the castle - the queen`s home and the oldest and largest inhabited fortress in the world.

Harry, the younger son of the late Princess Diana, has always been a popular member of the royal family.&nbsp;

At just 12 years old, he walked behind his mother`s coffin as her funeral cortege made its way through London after her death in a car crash in 1997.

He has spoken publicly about the pain of that loss, supported the cause of wounded veterans, and embraced campaigns for awareness about mental health.&nbsp;

“I remember Princess Diana dying," said Nick Lemin, 45 who grew up in Windsor but now lives in Brisbane, Australia. "I think she’d be very, very proud of Prince Harry and the family and how they are living their lives."&nbsp;

Windsor Castle was badly damaged by a fire in 1992, a year Elizabeth famously described as an “annus horribilis” after three of her four children’s marriages failed, including Charles` marriage to Diana.

Fast-forward 26 years and a reinvigorated royal brand has Windsor in a party mood, ahead of an occasion forecast to be blessed with sunshine and blue skies.

At just 12 years old, he walked behind his mother`s coffin as her funeral cortege made its way through London after her death in a car crash in 1997. He has spoken publicly about the pain of that loss, supported the cause of wounded veterans, and embraced campaigns for awareness about mental health. “I remember Princess Diana dying," said Nick Lemin, 45 who grew up in Windsor but now lives in Brisbane, Australia. "I think she’d be very, very proud of Prince Harry and the family and how they are living their lives." Windsor Castle was badly damaged by a fire in 1992, a year Elizabeth famously described as an “annus horribilis” after three of her four children’s marriages failed, including Charles` marriage to Diana. Fast-forward 26 years and a reinvigorated royal brand has Windsor in a party mood, ahead of an occasion forecast to be blessed with sunshine and blue skies.

Cheering crowds greet Harry on walkabout ahead of UK wedding extravaganza

Prince Harry weds U.S. actress Meghan Markle on Saturday in a lavish ceremony that unites the pomp of British royalty with Hollywood glamour.

Hundreds of millions of people across the world are expected to tune in to watch the wedding of Queen Elizabeth`s popular grandson and the American star of the TV drama "Suits" at the 15th Century St George`s Chapel in Windsor Castle.

More than 100,000 fans will cram the narrow streets of the town 20 miles (30 km) west of London, dominated by the oldest and largest inhabited castle in the world, a home to 39 English monarchs since 1066.

"I love all the regalia, all the hoo-hahs, the procession with the cavalry," said Jane Tofolo, 50, from southwest London, who shook hands with Harry when he held an impromptu walkabout with his brother and best man outside the castle on Friday evening.

"It will be spectacular because us Brits do all that very well."

Harry, 33, is sixth in line to the British throne. Markle, 36, is a divorcee whose mother is African-American and father is white.

For many, the wedding is a fairytale. For some black Britons, it illustrates the breakdown of barriers in modern Britain.

To others, it is an irrelevance. Polls have suggested that most Britons will not bother tuning in to watch the event.&nbsp;

The hour-long ceremony begins at 1100 GMT, with weather forecasts predicting blue skies and sunshine.

The bride will arrive at the church with her mother, Doria Ragland, 61, with whom she was spending Friday night at a luxury hotel. Harry was staying at another hotel with elder brother and best man Prince William, whose daughter Charlotte and son George will be among the bridesmaids and page boys.

CHARLES TO LEAD MEGHAN

Harry`s father and heir-to-the-throne Prince Charles will walk his future daughter-in-law down the aisle after Markle`s father pulled out due to ill health.

Thomas Markle, 73, a lighting director for TV soaps and sitcoms, told the U.S. celebrity website TMZ he had undergone heart surgery on Wednesday. Confusion over his attendance marred the build-up to the wedding, which had been carefully choreographed for months by royal aides.&nbsp;

On Friday, Ragland met the 92-year-old monarch and her husband Prince Philip, 96, who will be among the senior royals in the 600-strong congregation. It will also include a smattering of celebrities, including fellow cast members of Markle from "Suits".

The service will be conducted by the Dean of Windsor with Justin Welby, the Archbishop of Canterbury and the spiritual head of the Anglican Church, overseeing the exchange of vows. A black U.S. bishop, Most Reverend Michael Bruce Curry, will give the wedding address.

After the ceremony, the newlyweds are expected to greet some of the 1,200 members of the public specially invited into the grounds of the castle before setting off on a carriage procession through Windsor.

A reception will be held in the castle`s St George`s Hall before 200 guests join the couple at an evening event at Frogmore House, another grand mansion in the grounds.&nbsp;

The prince and his new wife, who are expected to be given a new title by the queen to mark their marriage, are not immediately leaving on honeymoon and will carry out their first official engagement as husband and wife next week.

Educated at the exclusive Eton College, a stone`s throw from Windsor, Harry, the younger son of the late Princess Diana, gained a reputation as a royal wild child.

He admitted smoking cannabis, getting drunk when underage in a pub, scuffled with paparazzi outside a London nightclub and drew outrage by dressing as a Nazi officer at a party.

But he turned his image around after joining the army, where he spent 10 years and included two tours of duty in Afghanistan.&nbsp;

Last year, he spoke openly of his emotional torment following the 1997 death of his mother in a Paris car crash. Aged just 12, he walked solemnly behind her coffin in the funeral cortege.

BLIND DATE

He met Markle on a blind date in July 2016 set up through a mutual friend. Harry said he had never heard of his future wife or watched her TV series, and she said she knew nothing of the prince.

But after just two dates, he whisked her off to Botswana for a holiday, camping under the stars.

"The fact that I fell in love with Meghan so incredibly quickly was confirmation to me that all the stars were aligned, everything was just perfect," Harry said when their engagement was announced last November.

Harry`s gilded upbringing is in stark contrast with Markle`s. She was born and raised in Los Angeles and her parents divorced when she was six.&nbsp;

After a number of minor roles in films and on TV, she won the role as Rachel Zane in "Suits". She ran a successful lifestyle blog, thetig.com, and has worked as a humanitarian campaigner. In 2011, she married film producer Trevor Engelson but they divorced in 2013.

The intense spotlight on her father this week was indicative of the limelight she now faces.

Harry issued a public rebuke to journalists when they were dating, accusing some of sexism and racism. The prince has long had a testy relationship with the media. His mother`s limousine was being chased by paparazzi just before her fatal crash.

Hollywood mixes with royalty: The guest list at the royal wedding

&nbsp;As far afield as the windswept Falkland Islands, battered by the South Atlantic and home to colonies of penguins, the glittering royal wedding was a cause for celebration on Saturday.

 
Many residents of the Falklands, one of Britain`s remote outposts left over from imperial days, are fiercely patriotic and were looking forward to flying the Union Jack flag in honor of Prince Harry and his American bride Meghan Markle.

 
"As a Falkland Islander, I definitely feel a bond with the royal family as a symbol of Britishness. I am a staunch royalist," said Arlette Betts, speaking in her home on the waterfront in Port Stanley, the tiny capital and home to most of the archipelago`s 4,000 inhabitants.

 
Argentina disputes Britain`s sovereignty over the Falklands, which lie 300 miles (500 km) from the Argentine coast, and the two countries fought a war in 1982 over the islands. As a result, the British military is popular with the Islanders.

 
"I think we can all relate to them here in the islands, particularly since the young lads served in the military," said Leona Roberts, a member of the archipelago`s Legislative Assembly.

 
She was referring to Prince Harry and his older brother Prince William, who both had military careers before dedicating themselves full-time to royal duties. 
Roberts was one of the organizers of a royal wedding party due to take place at the Falkland Islands Defence Force headquarters, where children were expected to dress up as princes and princesses and receive special gifts.

 
Betts, however, intended to spend the day at home in front of the television so she could give her full attention to events in faraway Windsor.

 
"I think some people are having a party but I would not want that. I like to be able to take it all in without being disturbed," she said.

 
The Falklands were just one of the locations many worlds away from Windsor Castle where people were celebrating the royal nuptials.

 
In India, a group of Mumbai`s famed dabbawalas, or lunch delivery men, chose a traditional sari dress and kurta jacket as wedding gifts for Harry and his bride, while at the Gurukul School of Art children painted posters of the royal couple and Queen Elizabeth.

In Australia, where the British monarch remains the head of state, some pubs were planning wedding parties, while a cinema chain was screening the event live across its network. Viewers were encouraged to come dressed in fun finery, with prizes for the most creative outfits.

 
In Melbourne, fashion designer Nadia Foti was planning to attend an "English high tea" where guests would wear plastic crowns and enjoy traditional British treats such as scones and the popular summer drink Pimm`s.

 
"It`s exciting for the fashion and the spectacular," said Foti. "It`s a joyous occasion and I`ve made a plum cake to celebrate in the classic English style."&nbsp;

Worlds away from Windsor, people celebrate Harry and Meghan''s big day

American actress Meghan Markle wore a sleek dress by British designer Clare Waight Keller for her wedding to Prince Harry on Saturday, Kensington Palace said.

The long-sleeved dress with a boat neck had been eagerly anticipated by royal fans around the world for months, with speculation over which designer would have the coveted role of making the frock.

Waight Keller, who became the first female artistic director at famed French fashion brand Givenchy last year, met Markle in early 2018, Kensington Palace said.

"The focus of the dress is the graphic open bateau neckline that gracefully frames the shoulders and emphasizes the slender sculpted waist," the palace said in a statement.

"The lines of the dress extend towards the back where the train flows in soft round folds cushioned by an underskirt in triple silk organza. The slim three-quarter sleeves add a note of refined modernity."

Last month, Priyanka Chopra revealed that she's very excited about Meghan Markle's big day. "It's not just going to be life-changing for both of them, it's life-changing for the world that needs to see strong women as icons, and I think Meghan has the potential to be that," she was quoted as saying.

&nbsp;

She wore a lavender Vivienne Westwood outfit

Indian actress Priyanka Chopra arrived for her friend Meghan Markle's wedding at St. George's Chapel dressed in a lavender Vivienne Westwood skirt and blazer. She accessorised the look with a classy hat. See live updates of the wedding here. Priyanka and Meghan go way back to their friendship in the US when Meghan was still working for American TV show Suits and Priyanka for Quantico. Their friendship became public when the two actresses posted pictures of them hanging out at several events. Watch her arrive: It's the big day...and time..!!!!

Priyanka Chopra at Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's wedding

As the world gears up to see Prince Harry and Meghan Markle tie the knot in a traditional manner on May 19 at St. George's Chapel, India also has a few ambassadors representing the country at the highly televised event.&nbsp;

Apart from Indian actress Priyanka Chopra, there are three other Indians attending the wedding.

Suhani Jalota from Mumbai who is the founder Myna Mahila Foundation, the NGO that promotes menstrual hygiene and was selected by Prince Harry and Meghan Markle as one of the seven charities to benefit from donations from the Royal Wedding.

The foundation is also one of seven charities the royal couple has selected for guests to donate money to in lieu of gifts after Markle visited it last year.

She will make her way from London to Windsor Castle, 20 miles away, to attend the royal wedding.

''It is a great honour and responsibility because I will be a representative of India at the wedding,'' Suhani Jalota&nbsp;

She will be wearing a peach sari and will be accompanied by three other women from her Myna Mahila Foundation.

Archana Ambre, 25, a sales manager from Myna Mahila Foundation who lives in Mankhurd slum, and Deborah Das, 31, production and HR manager with the charity, from Maharashtra Nagar slum, will also join the star-studded guest list with Suhani Jalota at the wedding inside Windsor Castle.

Neither Ambre nor Das had ever flown on an aeroplane before. In fact, Das did not even have a passport when she got the invitation card printed in gold with her name on in the post a month ago.&nbsp;

They have received invitations to the wedding alongside the founder of the charity, Suhani Jalota, 23, and its UK volunteer, Imogen Mansfield, 26.

Suhani Jalota is one of the 600 guests attending the St George’s Chapel service, whereas the other three will watch from inside the grounds of Windsor Castle alongside 100 schoolchildren, charity representatives and handpicked members of the public.

Apart from the Queen and royalty, famous stars like singer Sir Elton John, American tennis star Serena Williams, Meghan’s Suits co-stars, designer Mino Nonoo, and Victoria and David Beckham will also be seen.

“Meghan is sincere and well-researched. When she came to see us, she did not just talk about women’s empowerment because it was trendy. She knew her stuff,” Jalota said. “She said she would help us in any way she could. We never anticipated something like this would happen. It is an honour to be representing India — I feel so excited. It was a huge shock. I am looking forward to seeing Meghan and the other charities and we are really excited about seeing Priyanka.”
