The reason Meghan Markle won’t be allowed to marry in Westminster Abbey

Rumours of the pair’s engagement have been circulating for weeks.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s relationship has been front page news ever since it was first suggested they were an item. Yes, the pair have been one of the most talked about couples of the last year and their latest holiday has not dampened any rumours of a possible engagement. Harry and Meghan stayed in the same location where older brother William proposed to Kate Middleton back in 2010 which led many to believe he was about to do the same. Now, royal insiders claim that they expect we could hear the couple announce their engagement any day now. However, how will Harry’s big day differ from that of Williams? Well, the location could be the first big difference. In 2011, the world watched as Kate Middleton walked down the aisle of Westminster Abbey, however, it is unlikely that Meghan Markle will do the same. Meghan was previously married from 2011 to 2013, which might prevent her from marrying in the same place that Prince William and Queen Elizabeth did. Many say that there are a lot of other options for wedding venues for Harry and Meghan, namely St George’s Chapel in Windsor Castle, Canongate Kirk in Edinburgh and Crathie Kirk near Balmoral. Timing is also everything when it comes to this possible marriage as just two years ago Meghan would not have been allowed to marry the Prince thanks to her religious beliefs. Up until 2015, it was illegal for Catholics to marry into the Royal family and they are still prevented from becoming Queen of England.
