Mr Arbiter, an expert on the Royals, told us: "Harry has reined himself in since the early days and the days of strip [billiards] in Las Vegas.

"It'll be a riotous time but he'll rein himself in. He knows what he can do and what he can't do.

"He won't want to embarrass and do anything outrageous before the big day and put a dampener on it.

"He won't want any of that - Harry's grown up."

It's true that Harry once had a reputation as a party prince, but the 33-year-old has drastically turned his image around in recent years.

And it sounds like Meghan Markle, 36, is more than willing to join her fiance in devoting her life to full-time Royal duties - and taking her new job with the seriousness it demands.

Mr Arbiter added: "Meghan is a very switched-on lady.

"We saw that when she was asked about giving up her career and she said she's not giving up - what she's doing is moving into another chapter of her life. That's pretty profound."

The couple have been dating for just over a year, with Kensington Palace confirming the pairing on November 8 2016.

With the wedding set for May 2018, Harry will have plenty of time to plan his stag do - he'll just have to make sure he doesn't overdo the celebrations.
