Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have put their best foot forward and surprised their royal fans with goodie bags ahead of their wedding at St George’s Chapel, Windsor Castle this afternoon.

Thousands of royal fans camped out overnight in an attempt to secure the top spots to see the flame-haired royals and the former actress on their wedding day.

The goodie bag contains a bottle of water and a Harry and Meghan, who will be known as the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, a chocolate coin and shortbread.

Meghan and Harry's royal title was revealed on the morning of the nuptials. 

Queen Elizabeth conferred a Dukedom on her grandson, Harry, 33, and after he marries Meghan, 36, the former 'Suits' actress will receive her own title, the Duchess of Sussex. 

Kensington Palace announced the new title on Twitter, just hours before the pair tie the knot. 

The 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."
