Meghan Markle, Duchess of Sussex, recently marked her anniversary of marrying Prince Harry. To celebrate the incredible milestone, she posted a very sweet tribute on Instagram. The post featured a beautiful noticeboard filled with beautiful personal photographs. Chiefly, these pictures chronicled their transformation these last seven years, starting with their original wedding on May 19th, 2018.
In the royal tribute, Markle donned an ethereal icy blue gown. It is particularly special, having been previously on display in the late Queen Elizabeth II’s private audience room at Buckingham Palace. This throwback picture, showing the future Duchess on her honeymoon, sent royal watchers into a tizzy.
Markle completed her glam winter look with breathtaking nude Matilde criss-cross pumps from Aquazzura. She exhibited her new glittering diamond engagement ring. The music video-style homage captured the pair’s whirlwind love story perfectly. It gave form to one of her most beloved ensembles.
Markle took to Instagram on Monday to share the special milestone, stating, “Seven years of marriage. A lifetime of stories.” She expressed gratitude to her followers, saying, “Thanks to all of you (whether by our side, or from afar) who have loved and supported us throughout our love story – we appreciate you. Happy anniversary!”
They reminisced about their years spent together and shared an exclusive behind the scenes photo that stole the show. This photograph first appeared in 2018 at the Queen Elizabeth II meeting with the Honorable George Brandis, the Australian High Commissioner on the United Kingdom. That photo was probably taken during the couple’s formal engagement photoshoot. The iconic photographer Alexander Lubomirski appropriated the shoot.
The couple formally debuted their engagement at a photocall at Kensington Palace on November 27, 2017. Initially, the Duchess chose to wear a wool belted coat from Canadian brand Line over the deep green P.A.R.O.S.H. dress. Instead, she opted for a jaw-dropping £56,000 couture gown by Ralph & Russo for their formal engagement photos at Frogmore House in Windsor. The stunning gown had a high-neck, sheer top studded with golden embroidery and a dramatic tulle ballgown skirt.
In this beautiful behind-the-scenes video from the shoot, Markle embraced Prince Harry intimately. She wore the ‘Lockton’ style from Roland Mouret, an asymmetrical gown that drew special attention to her sculpted bodice and matching fit-and-flare skirt.
Retired American actress and member of the British royal family Meghan Markle, now 43, celebrates this landmark birthday today. She looks back on the devotion encircling them at every step of their life’s journey together.
