It's not everyday that someone from your high school marries a member of the British royal family.

That's why students at Immaculate Heart high school in Los Angeles threw a truly spectacular pre-wedding celebration. And, it's just the sweetest thing.

Angie Crouch, TV News Reporter at NBC LA, captured students at Markle's former high school dancing and singing in the grounds of the all-girls Catholic school.

According to The Telegraph, the pupils held a tea party to wish the school's most famous alumna well ahead of her big day on Saturday 19 May. The party even had tea and cakes, and bunting and fascinators were out in full force.

One of Markle's old teachers told the Telegraph she'll be glued to the television watching every minute of the royal nuptials.

"I will be watching every moment of the royal wedding in real time," Maria Pollia, who taught and mentored Markle, told The Telegraph.
