Prince Harry and Meghan Markle named their wedding tables after words pronounced differently in Britain and the US, it has emerged.
Guests at the Frogmore House reception sat at tables with names such as potato, oregano and tomato.
The move was one of many US influences on last Saturday’s royal wedding, which included a sermon from American bishop Michael Curry during the service.
Meghan’s friend Janina Gavankar revealed the sweet arrangement and said the wedding was a ‘beautiful mash-up of two cultures’, the Mirror reported.

Gavankar, a fellow actress, looked radiant on the day in a bold orange dress that had a quirky cape detail draped around the shoulders.
She said it was ‘so sweet’ to reference the couple’s transatlantic roots and said the Frogmore House event had been only for ‘family and chosen family’.
She said: ‘It was such a beautiful day and a carefree night, and it was a very powerful day in history. And I think everybody felt it across the world.’
Rather than opt for matching headwear, Janina, 37, wore a contrasting navy blue hat that made quite the statement and helped her chic ensemble to stand out from the crowd.
Fellow actress Janina is best known for her role as Iden Versio in Star Wars Battlefront II, as well as supporting roles in True Blood and the Vampire Diaries.
She met Meghan 15 years ago and the pair have been close ever since.
