Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have started changing the face of the royal family.

According to royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams, Markle and Prince Harry’s May 19, 2018 wedding is so important because it will be done out of their love for each other.

“This is a marriage, it’s based on love. It’s not based on what one would call ‘vetting.’ Harry needed the queen’s permission and that was given with delight,” he told Entertainment Tonight.

Fitzwilliams also pointed out how different Markle and Prince Harry’s relationship is with Prince Charles and Princess Diana’s marriage. After the princess passed away, Prince Charles remarried his ex-girlfriend, Camilla Parker Bowles.

“Prince Charles so hatefully found that he could only marry someone who had no past and also had to be either royal or aristocratic. The entire situation has altered. We saw William marry Kate who is middle class, but also has ancestors who are coal miners, marry for love. This represented a step, a significant change. With Meghan, she’s American, she’s divorced, she’s mixed race, she’s an actress and an activist,” he explained.

Meanwhile, Markle also happens to be the first fiancée to have been invited to Queen Elizabeth II’s home in Sandringham for the holidays. Fitzwilliams said that Prince Harry is extremely popular, and his engagement to Markle has been welcomed by everyone.

“You can see how in love they were because the chemistry was perfect. You could also see that she described it as a ‘change,’ and that will mean she and Harry will make one of the world’s most influential and successful partnerships, using the fact that they’re the members of the royal family for charitable purposes,” he said.

Markle was also invited to the royal family’s Christmas celebration because the queen adores her grandson, Prince Harry. As such, whatever he requests from his grandmother is immediately granted by the monarch.

“If Harry asks for something, the queen would say yes as she adores him,” a source told People.
