Meghan Markle’s potential bridesmaids revealed, including an ex Made In Chelsea star, a tennis hero and an Indian actress
PRINCE Harry and Meghan Markle are set to tie the knot next spring after announcing their engagement.
The world’s most eligible bachelor, 33, popped the question to the 36-year-old Suits star in London earlier this month – a year after the pair publicly announced they were dating.
As rumours start flying about their big day, we’re wondering who Meghan will choose to be her bridesmaids.
From an ex-Made In Chelsea star to a tennis hero, these are the women you might see by her side.
SERENA WILLIAMS
Meghan Markle and Serena Williams have been best friends since meeting at a celebrity football game in 2014.
Meghan previously wrote on her lifestyle blog, The Tig: "We are both the same age, have a penchant for hot sauces, and adore fashion.
"But what connects us more than those things is perhaps our belief in exceeding expectations—our endless ambition."
Meghan has been spotted cheering on Serena at the US Open and Wimbledon, plus she sat front row at Serena’s New York Fashion Week presentation.
PRIYANKA CHOPRA
Another of Meghan’s close allies is Indian actress Priyanka Chopra.
Priyanka revealed: "We bonded as actors. “We just became friends, like two girls would."
The two first met at a dinner celebrating women in television, and often share snaps of their evenings out together on Instagram.
Priyanka has also hit out at Meghan becoming known solely as ‘Harry’s girlfriend’.
"Sometimes women become plus-ones and guys become plus-ones. It's who is on the radar more," she told People.
"I think in an overall scheme of things, it's harder for for girls to be able to make their own and stand for what they are, and I'm a girl love kind of girl."
JESSICA MULRONEY
Meghan is close friends with Jessica Mulroney, who is the stylist to Justin Trudeau and Canada's first lady Sophie Gregoire-Trudeau.
The pair first met when Meghan relocated to Canada when Suits began filming in Toronto.
LINDSAY ROTH
It is customary for former bridesmaids to return the favour when it is their turn to walk down the aisle, so will this writer appear in Meghan’s wedding party?
The TV producer and author of “What Pretty Girls Are Made Of” had Meghan as her bridesmaid in August 2016.
The actress gushed about the big day on her social media account, and wrote under one image: “I have to put this picture up because @lindsayjillroth looks SO beautiful here. I can't take it. #blushingbride #friends”.
PRINCESS CHARLOTTE
Princess Charlotte would make an adorable flower girl at Meghan and Harry’s nupitals.
Harry may well be keen to have his niece play a role in the wedding.
He was reported to have introduced Meghan to sister-in-law Kate at Kensington Palace in January.
The US star also met Princess Charlotte, who she "adored”, at the time.
MILLIE MACKINTOSH
Former Made In Chelsea star Millie Mackintosh has been friends with Meghan since 2016, and the pair have matching friendship bracelets.
They are believed to have been on a month-long travelling trip together.
