' felt 'felt a "féezflit flaw" have never felt a particular connection to the royal family before. i would meghan markle be feeling, america has problems with racism as well, but different to ours? america has serious problems with racism but in america, they had a civil rights movement, there is a language of race and the struggle forjustice. we language of race and the struggle for justice. we haven't language of race and the struggle forjustice. we haven't been to the same experience and therefore people who want to point out the similar problems of historic racism, it is harder to have the conversation because we are not literate in the language of struggle. i think she mightfind it language of struggle. i think she might find it complicated to navigate race here. it is also quite awkward talking about things in britain, we like to pretend they are not there. what about prince charles walking her down the aisle and not her mother, is it a missed opportunity but others are saying it isa opportunity but others are saying it is a fabulous way of welcoming him/her into the family?” is a fabulous way of welcoming him/her into the family? i see this as meghan saying she is willing to

accept them. there is a lot of this wedding that has her mark on it. the people she has invited to perform, the black cellist, the gospel choir, the black cellist, the gospel choir, the bishop michael curry who is a famous preacher in the african—american tradition. she is entering the chapel by herself which isa entering the chapel by herself which is a very brave thing to do. i think these are her decisions and she is showing her independence but also that she embraces this.” showing her independence but also that she embraces this. i am wondering how her mother must be feeling, arriving in this country 2a hours ago and then this afternoon having tea with the queen. it is quite something for anybody, let alone someone living in los angeles, totally unprepared for british? your book is called british? people around the world will be compelled by the story of a family from

somewhere totally different, being in windsor castle having tea with the queen. forgive me, we are seeing the queen. forgive me, we are seeing the groom to be and his brother in windsor. they have just arrived at windsor. they have just arrived at windsor castle. you may remember that just before windsor castle. you may remember thatjust before william's wedding, he and harry went to meet the crowd waiting outside the night before. so we are wondering if something like that could be on the cards. we have just seen them getting out of the car, they have disappeared for a moment. it is their style. police officers looking ready to open the door so that looks pretty imminent to me. they arejust door so that looks pretty imminent to me. they are just waiting... door so that looks pretty imminent to me. they arejust waiting... here they come. this is a modern monarchy, let's go to jane hill, you are monarchy, let's go to jane hill, you a re pretty monarchy, let's go to jane hill, you are pretty much there yourself. as you might imagine, this is what

we we re as you might imagine, this is what we were waiting for and more to the point, this is what the many, many hundreds of people gathered here at the gates to windsor castle have been waiting for. the groom, the night before his wedding with his best man, going to shake hands and ways, flashbulbs going off, to say hello to some of those who have been waiting on the streets of windsor for much of this week. just a few hours to go to his wedding. our royal correspondent is with me. this ta kes royal correspondent is with me. this takes us back to what we saw the night before prince william's

wedding to the then kate middleton? that's right. 2011 outside clarence house. this is a carbon copy in many ways. prince harry prince william came out to meet the crowds ahead of his own wedding to the then kate middleton. they did exactly this, they shook hands, they had photos taken and this is similar. it was interesting prince harry went straight to a little girl who was clinging onto the barriers and he is doing it again. they are getting into the crowd on talking to people. everyone taking their photos. wanting to shake their hands, chatting to as many people as they can. they are accompanied by their personal protection officers. harry's private secretary who has been helping him planned the wedding

is there as well. this is the team who have been planning this wedding, prince william is best man and prince william is best man and prince harry de bruyne. you have seen prince harry de bruyne. you have seen them yourself over the past couple of days, a lot of people have been camped out since monday, the die—hard royal fans. been camped out since monday, the die-hard royalfans. there been camped out since monday, the die-hard royal fans. there was enormous excitement, you could hear the cheering. rumours had gone round within the last 45 minutes that this might happen and this is why we saw the crowds come out here, densely packed, crammed against the railings, desperate to get those photos, the lucky ones to get a handshake. this is what they want, they want to see prince harry, sixth in line to the throne, the night before his wedding. he and his fiancee, were spotted very briefly by some eagle eyed people when they

drove along the long walk. but this is much more up close and personal. i wonder if we can hear any of this? thank you so much. god bless you. good luck for tomorrow, harry. good luck. inaudible whose hand is that? it is your hand.

as far as we can tell, we are not very far away, they both looked relaxed, as far as we can tell. harry looking particularlyjovial. and as we have become accustomed, he is very natural with the crowds and the crowds love him. you might be able to see as well, he's crouching down which makes me think he is talking to children in particular. he has been picking up the children in the crowd and talking to them. he is trying to reach back into the

crowd as far as he can. just in case anyone is wondering where meghan is, she is actually going to be heading to her hotel about 20 minutes away from here with her mother for the evening. she is not part of the walkabout. prince harry and prince william have stayed on so they can meet the crowds. but she is heading with her mother to the hotel where she will spend her last night as a single woman. some of those working with prince harry are trying to move him down the crowd. he has been handed a teddy bear. there is just a real clamour to talk to him from those who have been waiting for so long. this is a close sibling relationship, considering what they have been through since childhood.

prince william said it is his time to get his revenge as best man on prince harry in terms of the speech. for now, thank you very much and we will stay with these remarkable pictures. good luck. thank you. harry! how are you feeling? amazing. if you are just harry! how are you feeling? amazing. if you arejustjoining us on bbc

news, prince harry emerged from the gates of windsor castle in the last few minutes along with his brother, who will be best man tomorrow, of course, to absolutely rapturous excitement and cheers. camera phones as far as you can see because they are very, very slowly making their way down the hill to greet the many people who have been gathered in windsor, some of them for a very long time. so our royal walkabout on the eve of his wedding. we are going to be staying with this coverage as long as the two royals decide that they want to talk to the crowds. periodically we can hear what they are saying, i have heard a few american accents. we are looking at the keenest of royal watchers in the

royal town of windsor tonight. waving to the crowds. he is crossing to the other side of the road. is he going to see people gathered on the other side? he is clutching the teddy bear that someone gave him as a present. and in particular, he knelt down and spoke to a lot of children. enormous cheers as princes william and harry make their way back up. one assumes, back inside windsor castle. prince william saying hello to people, waving. prince harry waving. everybody asking him, how he's

feeling? not surprisingly. he did look remotely nervous. you said to him, how are you feeling, i didn't hear the response? relaxed, of course. he looked fine. ten, 15 minutes out here, a chance to meet the crowds, do what they did ahead of prince william's wedding. there have been rumours this would happen over the course of the past hour but a chance to say thank you to the public can be hard and royalfans who have been camping out here for a number of days. is it something they feel they ought to do, they have to do, a thank you to those who are by definition, the really loyal royal watchers? if it's with what prince harry and meghan markle said they wa nted harry and meghan markle said they wanted their wedding to be. they said they wanted it to be something where they share it with the public. the fact he has come out as a thank you, meet people, talk to the kids, ta ke you, meet people, talk to the kids, take some gaps and have a chat with

prince william, fit the picture of what i want this wedding to be tomorrow. i think that is the last time we will see prince harry today and injusta time we will see prince harry today and injust a few hours, he time we will see prince harry today and in just a few hours, he will marry meghan markle here in the splendour, the beauty of st george's chapel just splendour, the beauty of st george's chapeljust inside the gates of windsor castle, 600 invited guests. 2000 other people have been invited to stand in the courtyard and take pa rt to stand in the courtyard and take part as well. they are people chosen from the area, from local charities and from other charities that prince harry and his fiancee are particularly keen to support. a remarkable day in windsor, the final preparations. we have seen lots of florists coming and going, just an hour or so ago, floral decorations going up around some of the doorways, all starting to look very beautiful. the sun has been shining all day here in windsor and the
