Wedding planning is well under way for the couple, but it has been revealed their first choice of venue was vetoed by the Palace.
Their first choice was the stunning Frogmore House, the site of another royal wedding in recent years.
The house, located within Home Park next to Windsor Castle, is a large white stately home with an air of grandeur.
Built in the 1680s, the home is over 300 years old. However the building has a fashionable 1920s feel to it.
