Prince Harry and his fiancee Meghan Markle have asked that anyone who wants to send them a present to mark their wedding next month make a donation to charity instead, his office says.
Harry and US actress Markle, who will marry at Windsor Castle on May 19, have drawn large cheering crowds whenever they have appeared in public since their engagement was announced last November.
In a statement, Harry's office said the couple were incredibly grateful for he goodwill they had been shown and "are keen that as many people as possible benefit from this generosity of spirit".
"The couple have therefore asked that anyone who might wish to mark the occasion considers making a donation to charity, rather than sending a wedding gift," the statement said.
Harry and Markle have selected seven charities, none of which they have direct links to, which they want people to support.
