Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have set a date for their upcoming wedding. It's is going to be on Saturday 19 May 2018 at Windsor Castle.
That's right, a Saturday, which can mean only one thing...no bank holiday.
When Harry's elder brother Prince William married Kate Middleton back in 2011, the ceremony took place on a Friday, and a lot of people in the UK got the day off.
When Harry & Meghan got engaged, everyone got excited about another extra three-day weekend. Theresa May said however there was "no precedent" for a bank holiday, as Harry is only fifth in line to the throne.
However, we Brits hadn't given up hope for an extra bank holiday...
Everyone's talking about the #royalwedding but why won't anyone tell me if I get an extra bank holiday or not?
...until our dreams were crushed into tiny little pieces.
