On May 19, Harry and Meghan celebrated six years since they got married. They got married at St. George’s Chapel in Windsor. Back then, they were seen as part of the royal family’s future, along with Prince William and Kate Middleton.
But things changed. What started as a problem between Harry and William turned into a problem between Harry, Meghan, and the rest of the royal family. Their relationship is really bad now, and people wonder if they’ll ever make up.
Now, six years later, Harry and Meghan live in the US. But is life better for them now? A royal expert says their rivalry could get even worse, which might lead to two separate royal families.
Harry and Meghan’s wedding was on May 19, 2018, at St. George’s Chapel, Windsor Castle. It was the first royal wedding since William and Kate got married seven years earlier. Many people wanted to compare the two weddings.
Both weddings were big deals, but they had differences. One big difference was how Meghan rode to her wedding with her mother, not her father, like Kate did. Meghan’s relationship with her father, Thomas, was complicated.
If you look at pictures, Meghan waved to the crowd more relaxed, with her fingers spaced out. Kate kept her fingers close together when she waved.
The weddings of William and Kate, and Harry and Meghan, were quite different. William and Kate’s wedding was serious, with fewer laughs, while Harry and Meghan’s was more relaxed and had gospel singing.
William and Kate invited world leaders, ambassadors, and Prime Ministers, along with many other important guests. Meghan and Harry had more celebrities on their guest list.
Their wedding was unique because of their private life and the media attention they got before the wedding. Some guests, like George Clooney and his wife Amal, didn’t know Harry or Meghan.
There’s a story about Carolyn Bartholomew, who was Diana’s former flatmate, asking the Clooneys how they knew Harry or Meghan at the wedding. The Clooneys said they didn’t.
After the wedding, Harry and Meghan visited the Clooneys at their home in Italy. George Clooney said they’ve had dinner together a few times over the years.
Oprah Winfrey also attended the wedding, but people were surprised because there was no talk about her relationship with Harry and Meghan. One headline even said, “Oprah Winfrey has arrived at the royal wedding — but people aren’t sure why.”
