<p>The husband of a British bride who died on her honeymoon in Sri Lanka will be kept in the country at least until a formal hearing on the death is held on Wednesday, police said.</p>

<p>Khilan Chandaria is not under arrest or facing a charge, but has been stopped from leaving Sri Lanka since his wife Usheila Patel, 31, died on April 25.</p>

<p>The bride died just six days after her wedding and two days after the couple checked into a hotel in the resort town of Galle, south of the <a href="https://www.wionews.com/south-asia/sri-lanka-catholic-schools-to-reopen-after-easter-day-attacks-217276">capital Colombo.</a></p>

<p>The couple's family has told British media that the newlyweds had suffered severe food poisoning.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Chandaria, 33, was also taken ill.</p>

<p>Police said an inquest hearing will be held on Wednesday when authorities expect toxicology reports ordered by a judicial medical officer.</p>

<p>"Chief Magistrate Harshana Kekunawela ordered the government analyst to provide all the necessary reports for the hearing on May 15," a police official in Galle told AFP.</p>

<p>The court was holding Chandaria's passport until the magistrate can rule on the cause of death, the police official added.</p>

<p>"At the moment, the magistrate has given an open verdict," the officer said referring to the term used when the cause and circumstances of a death are unclear.</p>

<p>"The body is still in the custody of the judiciary and kept at the Karapitiya hospital morgue."</p>

<p>The couple, from London, checked into the Amari Galle resort.</p>

<p>Amari spokesman Russell Cool said the couple fell ill after eating, and initially declined medical treatment at a local hospital but asked for help a few hours later.</p>

<p>"The couple consumed a light meal prepared by the hotel, as did other guests at the same time and who remain fine," he told AFP.</p>

<p>"Also in their possession were other consumable items obtained from outside of the hotel and we have handed these items to the relevant authorities as part of their investigations."&nbsp;</p>

<p>Chandaria could not be contacted immediately, but he has told the British media that both of them felt feverish and vomited blood after falling ill.</p>

<p>They married on April 19 and arrived in Sri Lanka on April 23, just two days after the Easter bombings at three luxury hotels in Colombo and three churches where 258 people were killed.</p>

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

<p>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;</p>

<p>Her daughter Deborah Goodes, 60, who named one of her sons after the prince, was equally smitten.</p>

<p>"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."</p>

<p>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".</p>

<p>"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.</p>

Harry and Meghan's wedding to blend royal tradition with Hollywood glamour

<p>Prince Harry and U.S. actress Meghan Markle marry on Saturday in a lavish ceremony that unites the traditional pomp of British royalty with Hollywood glamour, injecting new life into a monarchy striving to stay relevant in the modern age.</p>

<p>Millions around the world are expected to watch when Elizabeth`s popular grandson and the American star of the TV drama "Suits" tie the knot at the 15th Century St George`s Chapel in Windsor Castle, the oldest and largest inhabited castle in the world.</p>

<p>As dawn broke over its ancient stone walls, excited crowds began to assemble, many draped in British and American flags.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"I just think it will be magical. There will be so much shouting and cheering and noise. I love the royal family," said Ronda Musgrove, 59, who camped overnight on the street opposite.&nbsp;</p>

<p>More than 100,000 fans are expected to cram the narrow roads of Windsor, about 20 miles (30 km) west of London. Security was tight and visitors had to pass through police search points set up around the castle, home to 39 English monarchs since 1066</p>

<p>The world`s media has been gripped by the union of Harry, 33, the sixth-in-line to the British throne, and Markle, 36, a divorcee whose mother is African-American and father is white, and hundreds of TV crews have descended on Windsor.</p>

<p>To some black Britons, the wedding is a fairytale which personifies the breakdown of barriers and reveals a more modern Britain where a person`s background is no obstacle to even the most elite and traditional of institutions.</p>

<p>To others, it is an irrelevance or mild distraction to the schism of Brexit which has deeply divided the United Kingdom, and polls have suggested that most Britons will not bother tuning in to watch the event.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The hour-long ceremony begins at 1100 GMT, with weather forecasts predicting blue skies and sunshine.</p>

<p>The bride will arrive at the church with her mother, Doria Ragland, 61, with whom she was spent 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.</p>

<p><strong>MARKLE`S MODERN OATH</strong></p>

<p>Markle will enter the chapel unescorted. Then Harry`s father and heir-to-the-throne Prince Charles will walk his future daughter-in-law down the aisle.&nbsp;</p>

In a sign of modernity for the Royals, Harry will wear a ring while Markle will vow not to obey her husband

Prince Harry and U.S. actress Meghan Markle marry on Saturday in a lavish ceremony that unites the traditional pomp of British royalty with Hollywood glamour, injecting new life into a monarchy striving to stay relevant in the modern age. Millions around the world are expected to watch when Elizabeth`s popular grandson and the American star of the TV drama "Suits" tie the knot at the 15th Century St George`s Chapel in Windsor Castle, the oldest and largest inhabited castle in the world. As dawn broke over its ancient stone walls, excited crowds began to assemble, many draped in British and American flags. "I just think it will be magical. There will be so much shouting and cheering and noise. I love the royal family," said Ronda Musgrove, 59, who camped overnight on the street opposite. More than 100,000 fans are expected to cram the narrow roads of Windsor, about 20 miles (30 km) west of London. Security was tight and visitors had to pass through police search points set up around the castle, home to 39 English monarchs since 1066 The world`s media has been gripped by the union of Harry, 33, the sixth-in-line to the British throne, and Markle, 36, a divorcee whose mother is African-American and father is white, and hundreds of TV crews have descended on Windsor. To some black Britons, the wedding is a fairytale which personifies the breakdown of barriers and reveals a more modern Britain where a person`s background is no obstacle to even the most elite and traditional of institutions. To others, it is an irrelevance or mild distraction to the schism of Brexit which has deeply divided the United Kingdom, and polls have suggested that most Britons will not bother tuning in to watch the event. 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 spent 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. MARKLE`S MODERN OATH Markle will enter the chapel unescorted. Then Harry`s father and heir-to-the-throne Prince Charles will walk his future daughter-in-law down the aisle. Her own father Thomas Markle, 73, a lighting director for TV soaps and sitcoms, pulled out this week, telling 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 and his name still appears in the order of service.

<p>"Today`s the day, this is the big build-up ... I just can`t wait, they’re going to pipe out the music and the ceremony so we`re going to hear it, so that’ll be fun."</p>

<p>While the carefully choreographed build-up to the wedding was overshadowed by uncertainty over whether her father, Thomas Markle, would be able to walk her down the aisle, fans said it didn`t spoil the romance for them.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"Everybody`s family is a little bit complicated, a little bit quirky, and it just makes it more real doesn`t it," said Carol Ridding, 48, a hairdresser from Bristol in England whose daughter works as a Markle look-alike.&nbsp;</p>

<p>She was running on no sleep after enjoying the festivities on the street throughout the early hours.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Prince Harry and Meghan Markle`s wedding cake has taken six bakers five days to prepare and breaks with tradition, according to its designer Claire Ptak.</p>

As Captain Harry Wales weds actress-activist Meghan Markle, here are lesser known facts about the couple

<p>Meghan Markle`s American mother was due to take tea with Britain`s Queen Elizabeth, Prince Harry`s grandmother, on the eve of a sumptuous royal wedding that will be watched by millions across the world.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Outside the ancient stone walls of Windsor Castle, home to the English royal family for nearly 1,000 years, well-wishers mingled with tourists and swarms of television crews under swathes of British and American flags.</p>

<p>Harry will marry Markle, a star of the TV drama "Suits", in Windsor Castle`s 15th-century St George`s Chapel at a ceremony that begins at about 1100 GMT on Saturday.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The newlyweds will then be driven around Windsor in a horse-drawn carriage.</p>

<p>Markle`s African-American mother, Doria Ragland, was due to meet Queen Elizabeth, 92, for tea in Windsor on Friday. The yoga instructor charmed Harry`s father, Prince Charles when they met on Wednesday.</p>

<p>But it is still unclear who will walk Markle down the aisle after her father, Thomas, pulled out of the wedding in a family drama that was played out under the glare of global media attention. Markle said she was sad he could not make it.</p>

<p>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.</p>

Meghan Markle's mother due to meet Queen Elizabeth on eve of royal wedding extravaganza

<p>Meghan Markle's father overshadowed his daughter's wedding to Prince Harry by sowing confusion about whether he would walk her down the aisle or snub the British royal family by pulling out of the intricately planned celebration at the last minute.</p>

<p>As royal fans convened on the genteel English town of Windsor where Harry is due to wed the American actress on Saturday, the role of her father, Thomas Markle, was still unclear after he issued a flurry of statements to an American news website.</p>

<p>On Monday he was reported by the Los Angeles to be unable to attend due to a heart attack and embarrassment over whether he had staged pictures with a paparazzi photographer. But at the same time on Tuesday he had changed his mind and would go to be part of history.&nbsp;</p>

<p>In an interview, he said that the trip was off due to his need for immediate heart surgery.</p>

<p>On Wednesday it was reported that Markle was out of surgery where&nbsp;Markle had spoken that "he seemed alert and coherent, telling us doctors implanted stents in his blood vessels." It was not known when he would be out of the hospital.</p>

<p>Markle, who lives in Mexico, had been due to walk his daughter down the aisle on Saturday at St George`s Chapel in Windsor Castle in front of 600 guests including all the senior British royals and a smattering of celebrities.</p>

<p>One of the leading newspapers of Britain had to scramble to update its front page to reflect what it called the "Royal Sensation" of Thomas Markle`s absence under the headline: "I`ve got heart op today". It offered four pages of analysis.</p>

<p>"It must be heartbreaking for them because her father can`t come because he is in poor health," said 46-year-old Maria Scott who had travelled&nbsp;from Newcastle to camp out in Windsor to get a glimpse of the couple on Saturday.</p>

<p>"It must be really upsetting but I`m sure her mum will do a fine job," Scott told Reuters.</p>

<p>Harry, grandson of Queen Elizabeth and sixth in line to the throne, and Markle, a star in U.S. TV drama "Suits", will tie the knot at Windsor Castle, home to the British royal family for nearly 1,000 years.</p>

<p>On Windsor`s streets, hundreds of tourists and journalists mingled with dedicated royals fans - some draped with UK flags and holding photographs of Harry and Markle - while armed police patrolled.&nbsp;Some fans are sleeping out on the street until the wedding, seeking to secure the best positions to see the couple.</p>

<p>"I want them to come through those gates. I want them to look at me, wave and smile," Donna Werner, who flew 3,000 miles from New Fairfield, Connecticut, to be in Windsor told Reuters."That will make it all worthwhile. It really will," said Werner, 66, camped outside the Castle, dressed head to toe in a mix of British and U.S. flag-themed attire, including a shirt that read "Prince Harry, I`m still available. Last chance!"</p>

<p>Windsor, which is dominated by the royal castle, was decorated with swathes of red, white and blue "Union Jack" flags. Stalls sold Harry and Meghan scarves for 15 pounds ($20) and commemorative caps for 10 pounds.</p>

<p>More than 100,000 people are expected to descend on the town on Saturday. They will have to clear airport-style security before being allowed near the main venue, said Superintendent Jim Weems, the police`s tactical commander for the day.</p>

<p>Britain is on its second-highest threat level of severe, meaning an attack by militants is considered highly likely. Last year 36 people died in four attacks. Despite the tight security, Weems said there was no particular threat against the wedding.</p>

<p>"There`s no intelligence to support that this event is going to be particularly targeted," he told Reuters.</p>

<p>Harry, 33, a former army officer and one-time royal wild child, met his bride-to-be on a blind date in July 2016 after being set up through a mutual friend.</p>

<p>Beyond the pomp of a royal wedding which enthrals millions, the union marries the Hollywood glamour of Markle with one of the royal family`s most popular members.</p>

<p>As a divorcee, with a white father and an African-American mother, Markle`s background has provided a source of huge interest and comment, not all positive.</p>

<p>Details about the wedding have been closely controlled by Kensington Palace but reports of Thomas Markle`s intentions have thrown their intricate plans into flux. Kensington Palace declined to comment on Wednesday.</p>

<p>The bride-to-be`s parents are divorced and while Harry has been pictured with her mother Doria Ragland, 61, there had been speculation about the relationship with Thomas Markle, a former lighting director for TV soaps and sitcoms.</p>

<p>Thousands of journalists are descending on Windsor, and Thomas Markle told a channel earlier this week that the media attention had taken its toll.&nbsp;</p>

<p>He said he had been offered up to $100,000 for interviews and been ambushed by paparazzi whose snaps had shown him buying beer and looking dishevelled. It was also heard that he had agreed to the staged pictures, which showed him looking at images of the couple on a computer and being sized up for a suit because he hoped they would improve his image.&nbsp;</p>

<p>In response to the initial reports on Monday, Kensington Palace said it was "a deeply personal moment for Ms Markle", asking for respect and understanding for her father.</p>

Meghan Markle confirms father will not attend her wedding to Prince Harry

<p>A global audience will be watching when Prince Harry weds his U.S. fiancee Meghan Markle on Saturday, but most Britons don`t care much, a YouGov poll said on Monday.<br />
<br />
The poll, commissioned by anti-monarchist pressure group Republic, found that 66 percent of Britons are not interested in the event, with 60 percent of Britons planning to have a normal weekend.</p>

<p>Harry and Markle are set to marry at St George`s Chapel in Windsor Castle with more than 5,000 media staff and around 100,000 well-wishers expected to descend on the market town.<br />

An opinion poll published last week showed that most Britons are in favor of the monarchy continuing in Britain.<br />

Two-thirds of Brits not interested in the royal wedding: poll

<p>Chaos prevailed at the wedding of Tej Pratap Yadav, the elder son of RJD chief Lalu Prasad, as an unruly crowd breached the cordon separating the pandal meant for VIPs and the media and started looting food items.&nbsp</p>

<p>Yadav tied the nuptial knot with Aishwarya Rai, who is the daughter of RJD MLA Chandrika Rai. Preparations were made for thousands of people gathered for the wedding.</p>

<p>Shortly after Tej Pratap and Aishwarya exchanged garlands, a horde of people – believed to be RJD supporters — broke the cordon and started looting food items.&nbsp</p>

<p>Soon the entire area was strewn with broken crockery and upturned tables and chairs, while a number of party leaders made a vain attempt to chase away intruders by wielding sticks.</p>

Yadav tied the nuptial knot with Aishwarya Rai, who is the daughter of RJD MLA Chandrika Rai. Preparations were made for thousands of people gathered for the wedding.

Chaos prevailed at the wedding of Tej Pratap Yadav, the elder son of RJD chief Lalu Prasad, as an unruly crowd breached the cordon separating the pandal meant for VIPs and the media and started looting food items. Yadav tied the nuptial knot with Aishwarya Rai, who is the daughter of RJD MLA Chandrika Rai. Preparations were made for thousands of people gathered for the wedding. Shortly after Tej Pratap and Aishwarya exchanged garlands, a horde of people – believed to be RJD supporters — broke the cordon and started looting food items. Soon the entire area was strewn with broken crockery and upturned tables and chairs, while a number of party leaders made a vain attempt to chase away intruders by wielding sticks. Several media persons, including cameramen, complained of having been manhandled and their equipment damaged. Caterers said the unruly crowd looted some of their utensils and other items. Organisers had earlier said that arrangement of food had been made for around 7,000 people, but it appeared that no adequate attention had been paid towards regulating such a huge number of people.

<p>As Prince Harry's wedding to Meghan Markle inches closer, public hunger for all things royal will get its dessert as decades-old slices of cake from British royal weddings - including those of Prince Charles and Princess Diana, and Prince William and Kate Middleton - go up for auction.</p>

<p>The five cake slices from royal weddings are expected to fetch hundreds and perhaps thousands of dollars each next month as memorabilia at the sale in Las Vegas, Julien's Auctions said.</p>

<p>But for those looking to play royal taster, there is a word of caution.</p>

<p>"They're not edible," Darren Julien, the Los Angeles-based auction house's chief executive, said ahead of the June 23 sale.</p>

<p>A slice from Charles and Diana's wedding, presented in a white box with "CD Buckingham Palace 29th July 1981" in silver printing and wrapped in a paper doily, is estimated to fetch $800-$1,200, the auction house said.</p>

<p>"These come from people who attended the wedding and kept them in the freezer the entire time," Julien said of all the cake slices, adding they have not been preserved by other means.</p>

<p>More than 600 guests have been invited to Harry and Meghan's May 19 wedding, which will take place at Windsor Castle's St. George's Chapel, with a further 200 being invited for the reception.</p>

<p>The fruitcake made for Prince William and Kate Middleton's 2011 wedding comes in a tin presented to guests with an enclosure card saluting attendees that said: "With best wishes from TRH The Prince of Wales and The Duchess of Cornwall in celebration of the wedding of TRH The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge."</p>

<p>It is pegged to sell for $600-$800. Julien's sold a slice of William and Kate's cake for $7,500 in 2014.</p>

<p>Other cake slices include Charles' 2005 wedding to Camilla Parker Bowles and Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson's 1986 nuptials, which each is estimated to fetch $600-$800.</p>

<p>The piece of royal cake from Princess Anne's 1973 marriage to her first husband, Captain Mark Philips, is expected to sell for $300-$500.</p>

<p>"It's kind of hard to throw something out that has been given to you by the royals," Julien said.</p>
