Bring your own food: Guests invited to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's royal wedding advised
Only fifteen days are left for the royal wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle and if you are also invited for the wedding then don't expect a feast fit for a king.
The Britain's royal wedding will take place at Windsor Castle on May 19 and all the guests who will attend the wedding are expected to bring their own food.
Kensington Palace -- the official residence of Prince Harry -- told AFP Thursday that guests have been advised to bring their own picnics as only light refreshments and snacks will be served.
According to AFP, relaxing in the sun -- if it deigns to appear -- and enjoying drinks and a meal of your own making is intended to give the royal occasion a family feel.
The royal couple has invited 2,640 people for the wedding party in West London, out of which 1,200 "members of the public" from different fields and the four corners of the United Kingdom.
Amelia Thompson, 12, a surviver of the Manchester Arena suicide bombing -- which claimed the lives of 22 concert-goers last May will witness the wedding and the post-ceremony procession.
Philip Gillespie, a 30-year-old veteran of the Armed Forces who lost his right leg in an explosion in Afghanistan.
Saeed Atcha, 21, founder of a youth charity, told daily paper The Guardian that some disadvantaged people his organisation aids were confused by the royal decision.

"They were saying how come they (the royal family) have this money and you have to bring a picnic," he said.
"I am of the same opinion. It's unfathomable."
Apart from the members of public, 200 members of charitable groups close to Prince Harry and Markle's hearts will be present.
Some 610 members of the Windsor community, 530 employees of the royal household and pupils from nearby schools are also invited to join the celebrations in the castle park.
The royal palace has announced that 600 guests are invited to attend the marriage ceremony itself in St George's Chapel, as well as the reception luncheon given by Queen Elizabeth II in Windsor Castle.
A reception will also be given later to 200 guests in the evening by Prince Charles. It will take place at Frogmore House, about a kilometre from the wedding site.
