Harry and Meghan celebrated their sixth wedding anniversary on May 19.
The beautiful ceremony of tying the knot between Harry and Meghan took place on on May 19, 2018. Among the guests were a lot of celebrities such as George Clooney, David and Victoria Beckham, Serena Williams, James Corden, and Oprah Winfrey. Meghan wore a wedding dress designed by Givenchy’s then-creative director, Clare Waight Keller, and the stunning Queen Mary’s bandeau tiara which belonged to the Queen’s grandmother, Queen Marry.
Harry and Meghan’s wedding was a perfect union, a flawless counterpart to Prince William and Kate Middleton’s wedding seven years prior, yet the two ceremonies were different in many ways.
As expected, Kate and William’s wedding held greater significance because it marked the union of a future king and queen.
One of the notable differences before the ceremony was that Kate Middleton arrived with her father, while Meghan arrived with her mother, due to her more complicated relationship with her father, Thomas, in recent years.
In photos of the two brides, Meghan waved to the crowd more casually, with her fingers spread apart. In contrast, Kate’s wave was more formal, with her fingers held close together.
Royal experts questioned the guest list of Harry and Meghan. Among the rest, Andrew Morton – the author of Diana: Her True Story, said, “[Meghan] populated the wedding with A-list Hollywood celebrities who… have proved their worth to her by speaking out in public about the criticisms of her,” Morton said. “I don’t think she (had) even met Oprah Winfrey (before the wedding). I don’t know whether Harry had. But she invited these people along, and now she has her own court.
“She’s a new player and she’s been quick out (of) the starting box. Unlike Prince Harry’s friends who keep quiet, Megan’s A-list celebrity friends, the court of Meghan, is a very voluble court and they’re very powerful.”
That something was off with Harry and Meghan and the rest of the royals was evident just days after the wedding, as per Jonny Dymond, royal correspondent for the BBC.
“I mean, within days, really …There were stories coming out about how Megan behaved towards staff,” he said in the BBC documentary The Prince and the Press.
Camilla Tominey – who first broke the story of Harry and Meghan’s relationship, added – “We were getting briefings that all was not well, with the relationship between William and Harry, Meghan, and Kate, and the relationship between Harry and Meghan and the royal household.”
According to Meghan, before the split with the Firm, she and Harry allegedly asked for a permission to move to another country in the Commonwealth, perhaps South Africa or Canada. However, the answer was a resounding no.
