Meghan Markle accompanies Prince Harry to Pippa Middleton's wedding reception

Meghan Markle has arrived with Prince Harry as his date to this evening's reception celebrating the wedding of Pippa Middleton and James Matthews.

Earlier Pippa was beaming in a custom-made Giles Deacon wedding gown as she wed her new husband financier James Matthews.

Markle 35, joined Harry, 32, at the private reception at the Bucklebury home of Middleton's parents, Carole and Michael Middleton. The couple, who began dating last summer, joined nearly 300 other guests at the evening reception, including Middleton's sister Princess Kate and Prince William.

The actress joining Prince Harry at such a high profile event has left many wondering whether wedding bells are not too far off, with Markle making her own walk down the aisle soon.

The invitation is also particularly notable because it's the first time Harry has invited Markle to join him at an event with Prince William and Princess Kate and their two children, Prince George and Princess Charlotte.

Markle did not join Harry, William and Kate at the reception in Englefield House, where guests went following the ceremony at St Mark's Church in Englefield, Berkshire, near the Middletons' Bucklebury home.

Approximately 100 guests were invited to the more intimate and exclusive church service. Middleton reportedly had a "no ring no bring" policy for the intimate ceremony inside St Marks Church. However, Markle's no-show at the church was understood to be a decision driven by a hope that her appearance wouldn't be a distraction at the ceremony and a desire that it remain Pippa's big day. The fact that Harry was invited to the evening reception with his girlfriend is a clear endorsement of just how important Markle is to Prince Harry.

It wasnt that long ago that someone had to give up the crown because of an American. How times have changed

Edward VIII was forced to abdicate because the woman he chose to marry was divorced, not because she was an American.

Harry is not going to be King anyway....

Unless some series of unfortunate events (God forbid) happens.

It would take an extreme amount of that for Harry to become king.

That is likely why this isnt that big a deal.

I was going to say, it's probably better for everyone that Harry is out of the running, anyhow.

You can't do any better than the inspiration from Kate and William.

The little children are adorable. They remind me of the Mexican children, who are always dressed up for church as if it were a royal wedding. Bright colors are favored, though ... and tiaras are popular, because why not?

I love the design of Kate’s hat, but the color is not flattering, although I understand it’s the most appropriate in the situation.

Right now, she’s just his companion, three years older than he is. If they want children, they better hurry.

All I know is she needs to shut up if she wants to be part of this family. Though with the lunatic statements of Prince Charles and the D of E, there is plenty of precedent. However, Harry and William are popular and Harry has shown bravery in war. I hope he doesn’t inadvertently become the next Duke of Windsor. Of course, he’s a much better human being than that selfish piece of trash.
