Harry and Meghan will meet with the staff and tour the kitchen in New Town. The couple will end their visit by attending a royal reception at the Palace of Holyroodhouse to celebrate youth achievements marking Scotland’s Year of Young People 2018.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will be getting married at St George’s Chapel, Windsor Castle, at midday on May 19. The visit to Scotland is part of their activities before their royal wedding a few months from now. Although the wedding will be televised, everyone will be fighting for a front row seat at the wedding. Among the invited guests according to reports is President Barack Obama.
