Prince Charles reveals excitement at Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s impending wedding
EXCITEMENT for the royal wedding is reaching fever pitch - with Prince Charles among those counting down the days.
Prince Harry and fiancée Meghan Markle will tie the knot in just ten days, with the father of the groom revealing his excitement for the big day.
Speaking about the couple's upcoming wedding for the first time, the Prince of Wales said: "It's absolutely marvellous.
"It's going to be a very special day for everybody."
He added that he "can't wait" for the wedding, with all eyes to be on St George's Chapel in Windsor on May 19.
He and wife Camilla will be among the 800 guests at the chapel to witness the wedding of the year, also joined by future in-laws Thomas Markle Snr and Doria Ragland.
Charles is currently on a royal tour in Nice, France, with wife the Duchess of Cornwall who also said she was excited about the wedding.
When asked about getting to know Meghan, she said: "It's very nice, all very exciting."
The couple were on their last official engagement while on a three day tour of France, visiting a flower market in the country's south today.
The royal pair also visited a monument paying tribute to those killed in the Bastille Day terror attack in 2016.
They are expected to fly onto Athens later.
The palace last week confirmed that the nuptials would be "guided by tradition" but would include touches that "reflects the personalities" of Prince Harry and his bride-to-be.
Prince William will be best man for his younger brother, while Meghan won't have a maid of honour, with her bridesmaids and page boys instead all to be children.
Newborn Prince Louis will not be among the crowd, but his siblings Prince George, four, and Princess Charlotte, two, expected to be there.
The palace said that it hoped that Prince Philip would be among the gusts, as he continues to recover from his a hip operation.

It has also emerged that the royal couple will have a lemon elderflower cake made by pastry chef Claire Ptak, owner of the London-based Violet Bakery.
Alexi Lubomirski will be the official photographer for the royal wedding, having already photographed the loved up couple for their official engagement photos.
As part of the couple hoping to make the day their own, Prince Harry has ensured that his late mother will be remembered.
All three siblings of Prince Harry's mother Diana will be at the wedding, with Lady Jane Fellowes to give the reading.
