Prince Harry and Meghan Markle just released exclusive, never-before-seen photos from their wedding day. These quiet but powerful moments are what made audiences fall in love with their 2022 Netflix multiseries. The pair recently marked their seventh wedding anniversary. They conferred upon their viewers a spectacular televised experience of the historic ceremony viewed by hundreds of millions of people in countries around the world.
On May 19, 2018, Meghan Markle adorned a stunning silk boat-neck wedding dress designed by Clare Waight Keller of Givenchy. History was being made from the moment she walked down the aisle of St George’s Chapel, with Prince Harry courageously defying royal tradition. He craned his neck to get a glimpse of his bride. Cameras recorded his reaction as she approached the altar, where they shared a private giggle, capturing the warmth of their connection on such a significant day.
As we saw at their own ceremony, when she reached Prince Harry, Meghan Markle jokingly added, “Do we kiss?” They posed atop the steps, waiting for press photos upon departing the church. This spunky banter went a long way in cutting through the formality of the setting, while underscoring their evident love for each other.
The royal ceremony was full of tradition, with King Charles, then Prince Charles, walking Meghan halfway down the aisle. The day wasn’t without its drama, as her father, Thomas Markle, pulled out of walking her down the aisle just days before. In the absence of her presence, the late Queen held a lovely reception for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle in St George’s Hall at Windsor Castle. Her Royal Highness’s kind gesture added a note of royal hospitality to Vancouver’s festivities.
At the ceremonial proceedings, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle sliced their wedding cake with a ceremonial sword. This ceremony underscored the royal importance of their marriage. That day’s footage has been painstakingly lip-read by experts. They shared that Meghan’s husband, Prince Harry, had been complimenting her throughout the ceremony—“You look amazing,” he told her as she smiled back at him.
The celebrations continued in style with a private evening reception at Frogmore House. Prince Harry cut a dapper figure in a tuxedo, while Meghan changed into an equally stunning halter-neck gown by Stella McCartney. They then shared their first kiss as newlyweds in front of family and friends during the reception. This was a bittersweet milestone in their national advocacy journey together.
