Despite the fact that US President Donald Trump and his wife Melania were not invited to the royal wedding of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, they still decided to make a gift to the newly-married couple and the whole of Britain.

"Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump are donating to one of seven charities the royal family has named," a White House spokesman told the press.

Megan and Harry asked the guests not to make wedding gifts, but to donate money to charities. Harry is the patron of Sentebale, a charity foundation for African orphans, and Meghan is the international ambassador of the religious organization World Vision and the UN.

Recall that despite the fact that the future spouses asked the guests to make a donation to the charitable fund instead of gifts, Queen Elizabeth II made another gift to her grandson and his beloved. The Queen gave the future newlyweds the York Cottage estate, which is located near London. It is known that earlier King George V and his wife Maria Tekskaya loved to spend their weekends there.

By the way, not far from York Cottage is the Anmer Hall estate, which the Queen gave to Prince William and Kate Middleton for their wedding. Before Prince George went to kindergarten, the Duke and Duchess lived there permanently, and now they leave there only for the holidays.

Recall that the wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle became known last year, but Queen Elizabeth II of Great Britain did not make official statements about the upcoming holiday until recently. Buckingham Palace presented to the public an official message from Her Majesty, in which she gives an agreement for the marriage of her grandson and the star of the series "Force Majeure":

“I give my consent to the marriage of my beloved grandson, Prince Harry Charles Albert David of Wales and Rachel Meghan Markle. This agreement must be sealed with the Great Seal and entered in the records of the Privy Council,”said the queen in her message to the Privy Council. A similar statement was made by Elizabeth II before the wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton in 2011.

As we can see from the message of Her Majesty, she liked Megan. She immediately charmed the grandmother of her chosen one. Perhaps Elizabeth was imbued with sympathy for the chosen one of her grandson also due to the fact that her corgi dogs fell in love with Markle. They did not even show such sympathy for Prince Harry himself. “The Corgis accepted her right away! They barked at me all these 33 years, but when Megan walks - silence, - said Harry with a laugh.
