Prince Harry, Meghan pick carriage for wedding procession

The pair have chosen the Ascot Landau carriage for their procession through the town on May 19, their official London residence said in a statement.

“Prince Harry and Ms. Markle are very much looking forward to this short journey which they hope will allow them to express their gratitude for everyone who has gathered together in Windsor to enjoy the atmosphere of this special day,” the statement said.

The carriage will be drawn by four Windsor Grey horses — Milford Haven, Storm, Plymouth and Tyrone — and accompanied by a travelling escort of the Household Cavalry Mounted Regiment as it departs St George’s Chapel before touring a circuit of the town.
