Prince Harry is all set to tie the knot with Meghan Markle in May this year. The Prince has always been something of a romantic and has publicly laminated his difficulties in finding lasting love, earlier on at least. Well, now, looks like he has finally found his match and we hear that he has refused to sign a prenuptial agreement just months ahead of his marriage.

The 33-year-old has made the most dramatic sign of his devotion and has rejected signing a prenuptial agreement to safeguard his estimated £54 million fortune! The disclosure of this follows persistent rumours that courtiers wanted Harry to safeguard his chunk of the Windsor millions since Meghan divorced her first husband, American film producer Trevor Engelson, after two years. It was just last week that it was reported that a prenup was being drawn up which led to several speculations on this, however, looks like Harry has put all of them to rest finally by declaring that he won't be signing one.

Prenups are not legally enforceable in the UK but are increasingly taken into account during divorce cases. Harry inherited $18 million after the death of his mother, Princess Diana, and is also reported to have another $36 million in assets. Meanwhile, Meghan, who was shot to fame for her role in 'Suits', has a reported fortune of $7 million.

The romantic prince follows in his brother's footsteps, with Prince William also refusing to sign a prenup before marrying Kate Middleton. Prince Harry and Meghan will tie the knot at Windsor castle in May this year, with the American actress becoming 'Her Royal Highness Henry of Wales'. Little is known about their big day yet but the buzz is that the Spice Girls might perform and you can trust us to bring you any news regarding the royal wedding as soon as we hear of it. The Royals are inviting members of the public "from every corner of the United Kingdom" to the celebration, as stated by a statement made by the Buckingham Palace. More than 2,600 people will be invited, with 1,200 being members of the public who will have access to the grounds of Windsor Castle on the day.

Well, we just can't wait for it to be May already!
