Royal fans with a taste for beer will be able to celebrate Prince Harry and fiancee Meghan Markle’s wedding day with a special ale brewed in the town where the couple will get married next month.
“Harry & Meghan’s Windsor Knot” has been brewed to give the traditional British pint a U.S. twist in honor of the nuptials of the transatlantic couple who will get married at Queen Elizabeth’s Windsor Castle home, west of London, on May 19.
The town has royal associations that go back centuries and Windsor, the oldest and largest inhabited castle in the world, has been the family home of British kings and queens for almost 1,000 years.
Harry and his brother William both attended the nearby exclusive Eton College school which lies on the opposite bank of the River Thames.
In a local Eton pub, the latest royal beer got a seal of approval from two American customers.
“Pale ales are quite popular in the United States and I really think this is a good one,” said Jaime Naber, a 38-year-old from Wisconsin who was visiting a friend nearby.
Traci Bunch, 48, said it would get the couple’s approval if they tried it. “I think they’ll love it,” she said, gulping down the last drop of her beer.
