Most people’s honeymoons involve sun, sea, sex and sand (just like the Havana Sands song suggests), but Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are not most people.

In fact, Kensington Palace has confirmed that the couple have made the decision to postpone their honeymoon so that they can attend their first official engagement as husband and wife.

On 22 May – just three days after the royal wedding is broadcast on televisions all around the world – Meghan and Harry will step out for Prince Charles’ 70th Birthday Patronage Celebration in the gardens of Buckingham Palace.

The gathering will celebrate the second-in-line to the throne’s patronage and military affiliations, a spokesperson from the palace shared.

They added that invites have been issued to representatives from 400 charities, in a bid to honour the work they do that’s so “close to [Charles’] heart”.

And, of course, emergency personnel who responded to last year’s Manchester Arena bombing will also be recognised at the event – just months after Queen Elizabeth II praised their “extraordinary bravery” in the face of the “appalling attack”.

This is why Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have postponed their honeymoon
