Kensington Palace released some new details on the guests invited to the upcoming Royal Wedding and it appears that the guest list just got a lot bigger.
Many celebrities are expected to attend the wedding between Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, but they haven’t yet confirmed the reports about their potential guests. However, Kensington Palace did announce that the British Prince and the American actress have invited thousands of members of the public to be in attendance for their special day.
