Meghan Markle will be transformed into a wax figure and put on display right before she says "I Do" to Prince Harry. Also, the couple has decided on a wedding cake and went the nontraditional route. Get those deets, plus why Meghan and Harry will not sign a prenup inside...
She’s joining the royal family in more ways than one.
Meghan Markle is getting her own wax figure in Times Square and it’ll go on display right before she treks down the aisle to marry her prince charming, Prince Harry.

Our American princess will join her wax royal family members, including her soon-to-be husband Prince Harry (she’ll be placed next to him), Queen Elizabeth II, Prince Williams and Kate Middleton. A wax figure of Meghan will also be on display in London as well.
No word yet on what the wax figure’s outfit will entail or any other details. The museum is keeping everything top secret until the unveiling in early May. Madame Tussauds is having some fun with Meghan’s new wax figure, allowing visitors named Meghan or Harry (ID required) to visit the attraction free of charge from now until the couple's May 19th nuptials.
Let's hope they get it right...unlike those Beyonce wax figures they were pushing last year.
Speaking of the wedding...
Meghan and Prince Harry have decided what type of cake they will serve during the ceremony and who will make it. Of course, Meghan put her own spin to the cake.
Pastry chef Claire Ptak, who was raised in California and now owns London-based bakery Violet Cakes, will do the honors of creating the wedding cake for Meghan and Prince Harry.
Skipping out on the traditional fruitcake, Chef Ptak will create a "lemon elderflower cake that will incorporate the bright flavors of spring” that will “feature buttercream and fresh flowers as decoration.” The former “Suits” actress previously interviewed Chef Ptak, who focuses on using seasonal and organic ingredients in her cakes, for her former lifestyle website. Peep the tweets from Kensington Palace confirming the news:

When people with money here get married, the first thing some folks are concerned with are prenups. But, that’s not the case with Meghan and Prince Harry.
They likely will not be signing a prenup before they get married in May. Apparently, that’s just not what they do in the U.K. It’s not common practice there.
“Historically, members of the royal family have not had them,” royal author Ingrid Seward told PEOPLE. “They are more popular in the United States —it’s just not a British thing.”
Hopefully they don't try any funny business if, heaven forbid, Meghan ever wants to walk away. We're keeping our fingers crossed divorce isn't an option for these two. Get.That.Crown.Meghan!
