Kensington Palace said Thursday that invitations for the wedding between Prince Harry and his American fiancee Meghan Markle have been dispatched.


Some 600 people have been invited to the May 19 nuptials at noon at St. George's Chapel at Windsor Castle. All 600 have also been invited to a lunchtime reception given by Queen Elizabeth II at St George's Hall.


The palace declined to comment on who is on the list.

The invitations, which are beveled and gilded along the edges, feature Prince Charles' three-feather badge embossed in gold. They feature italic writing on thick white card, and are issued under the name of Charles, father of the groom.


The invitations read: "His Royal Highness The Prince of Wales... requests the pleasure of the company of... at the marriage of His Royal Highness Prince Henry of Wales with Ms Meghan Markle at St George's Chapel, Windsor Castle on Saturday 19th May, 2018 at 12 Noon followed by a reception at Windsor Castle."


The invitations revealed the dress code for wedding guests: Uniform, morning coat or lounge suit for men, or day dress with a hat for ladies.

The stationery was made by Barnard & Westwood, which has held the Royal Warrant for printing and bookbinding since 1985.


Harry and Markle will also celebrate with some 200 guests at a private evening reception given by Charles at Frogmore House, a royal mansion near Windsor Castle.


Windsor Castle is a smaller venue compared to London's Westminster Abbey, where Harry's brother Prince William and Kate Middleton married in 2011. That royal wedding packed in 1,900 guests.

Queen Elizabeth published her formal consent to the marriage on March 15.


By law, the monarch must give consent for the marriage of the first six people in line to inherit the throne.


Harry, 33, is fifth in line after his father Charles, brother Prince William and William's children Prince George and Princess Charlotte.


He will be bumped down to sixth place when William's wife Kate gives birth next month.
