Whoa!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.

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.

The archbishop reached the official part, spoke the few words that made us The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, titles bestowed by Granny, and he joined us until death parted us, though he’d already done similar days earlier, in our garden, a small ceremony, just the two of us, Guy and Pula the only witnesses. Unofficial, non-binding, except in our souls,” he wrote.
