Prince Harry is expected to attend he wedding of his cousin George McCorquaodale in the KZN Midlands this weekend.
|||Durban - While Pokemon fever may have taken KwaZulu-Natal by storm in the past few weeks, this weekend will be all about spotting royalty, as Prince Harry is expected to be the guest of honour at the wedding of his first cousin George McCorquodale and Bianca Moore in the Midlands.
The groom is the son of the late Princess Diana’s eldest sister, Lady Sarah McCorquodale (nee Spencer) and Neil McCorquodale. Moore is from Ladysmith and her family originally hails from Zimbabwe.
And for local lasses looking for love and a handsome prince, it’s definitely the place to be, especially as Prince Harry admitted in a recent interview that he would be quite happy to settle down - and would love kids.
While Buckingham Palace did not confirm the prince’s attendance at the lavish wedding to be held at Netherwood Farm, it is widely known that Prince Harry, perhaps the world’s most eligible bachelor, has been on a working holiday in Africa during the past few weeks. He also recently attended the World Aids Conference in Durban.
As children, Prince Harry and Prince William spent a lot of time with their McCorquodale cousins, George, Emily and Celia, who often spent their holidays with Princess Diana and her sons on Richard Branson’s private island.
Prince Harry is said to be particularly close to his cousin George.
The royal adventurer has been busy with the 500 Elephants Initiative, where a conservationist team will be moving 500 elephants out of danger from poachers to a reserve in the north of Malawi.
The prince is no stranger to the African bush and spent three months last year working on anti-poaching projects to de-horn black rhino.
While all the details of the wedding remain very quiet, according to the couple’s wedding Facebook page, they met and fell in love “under the bell” at Clifton Preparatory School in Nottingham Road, where they were both working in 2011.
Their love story on the site describes George as “the naughty boy from England”, while Bianca is described as an “innocent angel”.
No cellphone photography or personal photos will be allowed at the wedding.
