See Meghan Markle, Prince Harry’s Unseen Wedding Day Photos
Here comes the pride.
Indeed, Meghan Markle lovingly looked back at eight years of marriage with Prince Harry by sharing an inside look at their 2018 wedding.
In pictures posted to Instagram May 18, the Duchess of Sussex was photographed in her minimalist Givenchy wedding gown and elaborate veil as she posed in St. George’s Chapel alongside her husband, who sported his formal military uniform.
In addition to multiple pics of the couple together—captured by photographer Chris Allerton—Meghan featured a performance by Sir Elton John and a look at the crowded hall where he performed.
She simply captured the roundup, “Eight years ago today…”
In a separate post, Meghan also gave a peek at the post-ceremony reception where she danced in a backless Stella McCartney gown and shared kisses with Harry, who wore a sleek black tuxedo.
But the royal celebration didn’t end with pictures of the wedding day. Meghan and Harry also included their kids Archie, 7, and Lilibet, 4, in their anniversary plans, as the kids could be heard singing an anniversary version of “Happy Birthday” to their mom as their dad gifted her a special cake in a video shared to her Instagram Story May 19.
“Blow them, blow them,” one of her kids said as she blew out the candles, prompting the other child to scream, “Yay!”
Harry also commemorated the bronze anniversary with a corresponding gift—a bronze statue of a penguin couple cuddled up.
“Oh my gosh,” Meghan said in a separate video as she explained the gift to her kids. “When mama and papa, when we got engaged, we had a party with all of our friends and we said, ‘Everyone wear an animal onesie,’ and we were penguins.”
Showing off a selfie of them in their costumes, Meghan added, “We were penguins because they’re together for life.”
While Meghan’s behind-the-scenes pictures from her and Harry’s wedding day were one-of-a-kind, the Duke and Duchess have given other glimpses of life with their kids. Read on to learn more.
