The royal wedding is going to be BYOF: Bring your own food.
Page Six has learned exclusively that not all of the 2,000 guests invited to Windsor grounds for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s wedding will be receiving catered food. Instead, they’ll have to bring their own picnic baskets.
“They do have a lot to cater for at the reception and then the evening event, and it is a lot of people in the grounds, but one would hope they do at least provide them with water,” etiquette expert William Hanson told Page Six.
Only guests who have access to the chapel ceremony will be receiving catered fare, which was previously reported to include seasonal British produce.
“We know the couple wanted us to make sure we used all of the local seasonal produce as much as possible throughout their menu, and this recent good weather is really helping us to achieve that,” royal chef Mark Flanagan said.
The reception fare is meant to be consumed standing up and will feature canapés and dishes served in small bowls.
