Prince Harry and Meghan Markle set to renew wedding vows in ‘woke ceremony in America’
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Prince Harry and his wife Meghan Markle are reportedly planning to renew their vows in a "woke ceremony in America." This comes in just after a spokesperson for the Sussexes announced on Monday, August 15 that Harry and Meghan Markle will travel to Britain in early September and take part in various charity events.
An insider told Heat, that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are "looking at various venues and figuring out the type of ceremony they want, as well as how many guests to invite." If the rumor turns out to be true, it is to be seen whether Harry and Meghan's estranged family members would be invited.

Who is invited to the wedding?
The source said, "Meghan’s mum Doria will be on the list, but she’ll be the only family member," adding, "then there will be a handful of their close US friends—like Katherine and David [Foster], Janina [Gavankar], possibly Priyanka and Nick Jonas—but, obviously, it’ll all depend on their schedules.
According to the source, the Sussexes want this ceremony to be different from their royal Windsor wedding. The insider said, "there’ll be roles for the kids and they’ll write their own vows. The grand plan is to turn it into a big family vacation that will also serve as a second honeymoon."
Why the 'anti-royal vow renewal'?
As per the source at Heat, Harry and Meghan are quite busy with their schedules but they will take out time as both of them are "super-excited" to do this.
The insider claimed, "they’re more in love now than ever, and proud of everything they’ve got through together these past four years. Saying their vows again is a beautiful way to underline that."
The insider continued, "Harry will always respect and have a special affinity towards the country of his birth, and both he and Meghan treasure the memory of their UK wedding, despite the dramas that ended up overshadowing it."
Meanwhile, the vows renewal will happen sooner rather than later, as according to the source, the couple has a tight schedule coming up with the release of Harry's memoir and their Netflix and Spotify deals to fulfill.
The royal couple married in May 2018 in St George's Chapel at Windsor Castle. Prince William was Harry's best man, and Prince Charles accompanied Meghan to the aisle. The wedding was watched by 27.7 million people in the UK, while about 29 million were reported to have watched it in the United States.
The couple has two children, son Archie Mountbatten-Windsor (born on 6 May 2019) and daughter Lilibet Mountbatten-Windsor (born on 4 June 2021). However, Meghan and Harry stepped down from their duties as senior royals in January 2020 and relocated to the Duchess' native, the United States.
