Prince Harry said he can’t wait to marry bride-to-be Meghan Markle when he met crowds outside Windsor Castle this afternoon.
The Prince said: ‘I’m really excited… I can’t wait’ when asked by Ms Ritu Dutt, from Richmond, if he was looking forward to his big day.
Harry met well-wishers outside the castle where he will marry Meghan tomorrow.
He was joined on a walkabout to meet the gathered crowds with his elder brother and best man Prince William.
Dressed sharply in a smart grey blazer with a pair of tailored navy chinos, Harry made a beeline for a little girl wearing a white dress in the crowd and said to her: ‘Are you squashed? Have you been waiting here long?’
Ms Patricia Cunningham, who was standing next to the girl, said: ‘She looked like she was in awe and didn’t know what to say.’
