Kensington Palace officially reveals a special decision of Harry and Meghan for their wedding

Choosing the perfect wedding present is not always the easiest thing to do, especially if the groom- and bride-to-be is Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.

As the world prepares for the wedding of the century, Kensington Palace released an important statement about the wedding registry.

The couple announced their engagement in November 2017 and will exchange vows on May 19, 2018, at St. George's Chapel.

People reported that the Royal couple took the guesswork out of the process, and asked instead that donations be made to charities near and dear to them.

Seven charities made it to the shortlist, including Children's HIV Association, an organization close to the late Princess Diana's heart.

Diana worked effortlessly to raise awareness about HIV and AIDS, and Prince Harry is determined to follow in her footsteps.

He recently campaigned for people to get tested for HIV, and set an example by taking the test publically as well.

Some of the other charities on the list include CRISIS, Myna Mahila, and Scotty's Little Soldiers. CRISIS focusses on the plight of homeless people, another cause close to Diana's heart.

The Chief Executive of Crisis, Jon Sparkles, thanked Prince Harry and Markle for their support. In his statement, he reminded citizens that 'homelessness is one of the most urgent issues of our time.'

Sparkles said that any donation received will be used to support homeless individuals and will go towards housing, employment, education and advice services.

The Myna Mahila Foundation empowers women in Mumbai by providing support where need. The cause is close to Markle's heart, who visited the foundation in 2017.

“I traveled to Delhi and Mumbai this January with World Vision to meet girls and women directly impacted by the stigmatization of menstrual health and to learn how it hinders girls’ education."

Other charities on their shortlist include The Wilderness Foundation UK, Surfers Against Sewage and Street Games.
