And we’re jealous.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s wedding date is fast-approaching with the nuptials set to take place on May 19th at St George’s Chapel, in Windsor Castle.

With just over a month to go until the big day, there’s plenty of wedding prep to get done, from organising table settings and flower arrangements to sorting out the bridal party - Prince Harry has reportedly only just selected his brother Prince William as his best man.

But for 33-year-old Prince Harry, there’s no time off to relax before the big day, instead having to prove himself in his new role as the Commonwealth Youth Ambassador.

New in the role, Prince Harry made his first address earlier this week and he couldn’t resist giving a nod to his bride-to-be, 36-year-old Meghan Markle.

‘I am incredibly grateful that the woman I am about to marry, Meghan, will be joining me in this work, of which she too is hugely excited to take part in,’ he announced to the crowd, going on to explain how together they would make the voices of the youth heard.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are set to undertake tours to Commonwealth countries after they have tied the knot, and it’s safe to say we cannot wait.

‘Meghan is going to be a force,’ a palace source reportedly told PEOPLE of the Suits actress’ effect on her future husband. ‘She will help him really define his role and relate to the public in a way that he wouldn’t have been able to do before. It was worth the wait.’
