Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie plan to marry in the UK.

The Hollywood couple - who got engaged in April after being together for seven years - are reportedly looking to have a low key wedding ceremony in Windsor, before jetting off to the South of France to celebrate on their luxurious Chateau Miraval estate in Provence.

A source told the Daily Star newspaper: 'They've always planned to have the official part secretly with just their kids and family.

'They're looking at Windsor register office, where Charles and Camilla and Elton John and David Furnish tied the knot. '

The couple - who raise six children together; Maddox, 10, Pax, nine, Zahara, seven, Shiloh, six, and three-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne - are passionate gay rights advocates and previously said they were delaying their engagement until same sex couples had the right to wed in America, but in the UK homosexual unions are allowed making the country the perfect location for their nuptials.

The source added: 'It allows same-sex marriages, something the couple passionately believe in.'

Brad, 48, and Angelina, 37, are currently both shooting their new films, 'The Counselor' and 'Maleficent' respectively, in Britain and think the venue would be ideal for a no fuss ceremony.

The insider explained: 'It just seems easier. They'll keep it very low key. They haven't finalised a date, but they are planning to slip out and get married with the minimum of fuss.'
