The question after each royal wedding: who was actually invited? Usually there is not a full guestlist published, so you almost never get the whole picture. So who came to the wedding of Prince Harry of Wales and Meghan Markle, now TRH The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, on 19 May at St George’s Chapel, Windsor? Quite a few names were on a partly guestlist, others were recognised by fans, experts, local newspapers … I compiled a list, which however certainly is not complete. I also might have missed some people who were mentioned in the media, but there was written so much.
