Actress Janina is among 36-year-old Meghan's guests at her wedding to Prince Harry, 33, today (19.05.18) and before making her way into St George's Chapel in Windsor Castle, Windsor, she spoke to ITV about the couple's relationship.

Janina said: "She gets to marry the love of her life. All I cared about was whether this was her guy. When they first met, Meghan was impressed with the fact that he was hands on with the work he does in this world. They are very similar and they are so powerful together."

Janina also revealed she was texting the relaxed bride last night, before her big day.

She said: "We talk all the time, we were texting last night. Meghan has so much space in her heart for all of the people that she loves.

"It's an incredible day, seeing all of these people with such an outpouring of love for your friend is so moving. Eavesdropping on these beautiful conversations, it's heartwarming."

Janina is among a number of Meghan's close friends, who have flown to the UK for her special day.

Meghan's 'Suits' co-stars Gabriel Macht, Sarah Rafferty, Rick Hoffman, Gina Torres, Abigail Spencer and her on-screen husband Patrick J Adams have all made their way into the chapel.

And Meghan's close friends Priyanka Chopra and Serena Williams are also in England for the royal nuptials.

Meanwhile, Harry and Meghan will be known as the Duke and Duchess of Sussex after their wedding, following Queen Elizabeth's decision to confer a Dukedom on her grandson.

Kensington Palace said in a statement: "The Queen has today been pleased to confer a Dukedom on Prince Henry of Wales. His titles will be Duke of Sussex, Earl of Dumbarton and Baron Kilkeel.

"Prince Harry thus becomes His Royal Highness The Duke of Sussex, and Ms Meghan Markle on marriage will become Her Royal Highness The Duchess of Sussex."
