Queen Elizabeth II's Instrument of Consent, the handwritten document which formally approves the wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, has been released by Buckingham Palace.

An image of the Instrument of Consent image was released Saturday — a week before Harry is to marry the American actress at St. George's Chapel in Windsor.

The document, illuminated on vellum, features a design to the left of the text that incorporates a red dragon, the symbol of Wales. The design to the right features a rose, the national flower of the United States.

Under British law, the first six people in the line of succession to the throne must obtain the queen's permission to wed.

Harry was fifth in line when he and Markle got engaged. He was bumped to sixth with the birth of his brother's son Prince Louis last month.
