Prince Harry and Meghan Markle who are gearing up to wed on 19th May, have asked people to donate to charities instead of sending them a wedding gift.
The Royal couple have chosen seven charities so that “as many people as possible benefit from this [public] generosity of spirit,” Kensington Palace said.
Those invited to the wedding have been given the option to either give a present or donate to charity.
When the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge got married in 2011, over £1 million was raised in donation.
A spokesperson said, "The couple have chosen charities which represent a range of issues that they are passionate about, including sport for social change, women's empowerment, conservation, the environment, homelessness, HIV and the Armed Forces. Prince Harry and Ms Markle do not have any formal relationships with the charities chosen."
The seven charities are CHIVA; Crisis; The Myna Mahila Foundation; Scotty’s Little Soldiers; StreetGames; Surfers Against Sewage; and The Wilderness Foundation UK.
