Harry and Meghan's Wedding should be a public holiday

Rejected 10 signatures

What the petition asks

I believe that Harry's wedding should be a bank holiday. When William and Kate got married, this galvanised the UK. This should be celebrated by the public as a bank holiday.
See 2012 celebrations
