A MINI fit for a Royal Couple: MINI creates a one-off Cooper S for charity to celebrate Harry and Meghan’s Wedding

History has shown that celebrations for Britain’s Royal Weddings aren’t just confined to the Royal Family. It’s become a global event, with most everyone joining in the festivities in their own little way. And the upcoming union between Prince Harry and Meghan Markle on May 19th seems like it’s no exception.

Case in point is MINI unveiling a special one-off model for the Royal couple. Taking its cue from a MINI Cooper S three-door hatch, the Crystal White number boasts of a few design cues that tell the world this car is for a special couple. There’s the handcrafted roof design that combines details from the Union Jack and the Stars and Stripes banners.

The five white strips on the roof are complemented by the blue and silver ones on the hood and rear fenders. The letter M and H flank a heart placed on 3D printed side scuttles on the turn signal markers. All these are finished off by the door-mounted LED lights that project “Just Married” onto the pavement.

Just like the outside, the cabin gets the same roof graphic on various interior bits. The names of the bride and groom with their wedding date are placed on a strip right in front of the passenger’s seat. Yes, this car is one that they can truly call their own.

Yet it won’t be so as Harry and Meghan have chosen to donate the special MINI to the Children’s HIV Association right after their special day. It will be auctioned off with all proceeds going to charity.
