Meghan Markle commemorated her eighth wedding anniversary with Prince Harry by unveiling a series of previously unreleased photographs. The Duchess of Sussex took to Instagram to showcase 24 new images from their wedding day, dividing them into two posts—one capturing their daytime ceremony and the other highlighting their joyous evening reception.
Accompanying the photos, Meghan captioned the post with “Eight years ago today” alongside a sun and moon emoji, giving credit to photographer Chris Allerton for capturing their special day. The black and white images from the ceremony depict the couple just after exchanging vows at Windsor Castle, sharing intimate moments and official wedding portraits.
The photos also feature Harry and Meghan delivering speeches, toasting, and sharing a kiss in front of loved ones. In the evening wedding photos, Meghan shared 12 snapshots of the couple’s first dance and a tender moment where she flaunted her new wedding ring.
Harry and Meghan wed in a magical ceremony at St George’s Chapel, igniting hope for a modern monarchy. However, they stepped back from royal duties less than two years later, settling in California. Since then, they have pursued philanthropic endeavors, with Harry advocating for causes like mental health awareness and child safety, while Meghan focuses on her lifestyle brand and a successful Netflix series.
The couple continues their charity work together, occasionally embarking on international visits. This year, they traveled to Jordan and Australia for philanthropic efforts. As they mark their anniversary, Harry and Meghan are likely celebrating with their children, Archie and Lilibet, in California, thriving in their post-royal life.
