Prince Harry and Meghan Markle urge guests to donate to charity instead of buying wedding gifts

PRINCE Harry and Meghan Markle have asked people thinking of sending them wedding gifts to support their charities instead.

They have selected seven organisations they are passionate about.

1

Harry, 32, and fiancee Meghan, 36, showed their determination to continue Princess Diana’s work by nominating the Children’s HIV Association.

The other six are homeless charity Crisis, the Myna Mahila Foundation, Scotty’s Little Soldiers, StreetGames, Surfers Against Sewage and The Wilderness Foundation UK.

Meghan visited the Myna Mahila Foundation in Mumbai last year and wrote about why helping women with sanitary products was important.

Prince William and Kate also asked for charity donations when they married in 2011. Brother Harry will marry at Windsor Castle on May 19.
