Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s ‘backyard’ wedding ‘no one knows’ about

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex got married on 19 May 2018 in front of thousands of viewers worldwide, but they had to set the record straight after admitting they had a second private wedding “no one knows” about.

Prince Harry and Meghan will celebrate two milestones this week – their official sixth wedding anniversary, and six years since they exchanged vows in front of the Archbishop of Canterbury in a “magical” garden ceremony.

Harry and Meghan claimed they had an intimate ceremony at their home at Kensington Palace days before their big royal wedding

In his book Spare, which was released in January 2023, Harry opened up about the moment they exchanged vows at their former home Nottingham Cottage on the grounds of Kensington Palace, which was where Harry proposed in 2017.

Harry recalled their “unofficial” celebration witnessed only by their pet dogs while he was at the altar during his legal wedding ceremony days later.
