The Duke and Duchess of Sussex will hold a second evening reception at a "tiki" themed bar, following the Queen's earlier formal reception. The couple's more relaxed


party will reportedly go for a carnival and festival themed 'afterparty', in what is believed to be a homage to Mayfair nightclub, Mahiki, a favourite of the Prince during his


party days.  According to The Mirror, guests will reportedly be welcomed by a steel band before feasting on south African wagyu beef and drinking beer, champagne and ice luges filled to the


brim with vodka.   The evening, hosted by Harry's father, the Prince of Wales, is being held in Frogmore House, in the grounds of Windsor Castle.   Harry's father has been tipped


to pick up the bill for the reception, the second of the day following the Queen formally hosting a reception at Windsor Castle after the Royal Wedding ceremony.  The 200 strong guestlist 


will strictly include those considered to be part of Harry and Meghan's "inner circle".  The newspaper reports Harry's ushers will man the bars and serve drinks. The


tipples on offer include Apache shooters and frozen strawberry sparkles, as well as specifically designed cocktails in honour of the bride and groom.   Insiders have claimed Coldplay and Ed


Sheeran will play at the party, despite the latter having commitments in Dublin.  It was also thought the Spice Girls would play.  But Emma Bunton – or "Baby Spice" - posted on


Instagram to say she was attending a royal themed party.   A royal insider claimed Harry has requested a steel band to play as guests arrive and has hired street food caterer Feast It, run


by his pal Minnie Brown, to provide the evening refreshments.  A source told the Daily Star: “Both Harry and Meghan love a party and have a wild side – and the reception will be no


different.  “Safaris and festival fever are the themes being enveloped into their day – embracing everything the pair love.  “Both of them are music and festival lovers, so they said they


wanted a festival and carnival vibe at the evening do.  “It might be a royal wedding, but neither Harry or Meghan are stuffy people and the last thing they want is their nuptials to


be."  As for other music playing on the night, Meghan is a big fan of pop.  It has been suggested Whitney Houston 's 'I Wanna Dance With Somebody (Who Loves Me)' is set


to be the soundtrack for their first dance.  Sir Elton John was said to have cancelled two concerts over the weekend of the Royal Wedding and sang at the lunch time reception today.
