Meghan Markle marked the couple’s eight years of marriage on Tuesday by posting unseen black-and-white photographs from her wedding to Prince Harry on Instagram. She captioned the album, “Eight years ago today,” and credited photographer Chris Allerton.
The images revisit a wedding that drew global attention when Meghan and Harry were married at St George’s Chapel in Windsor in 2018. Some of the photos had already appeared in the Harry & Meghan Netflix documentary released in 2022, but the new post added fresh frames from the day the couple became husband and wife.
One of the most notable background figures in the album was Maria Teresa Turrión Borrallo, William and Kate’s Norland nanny, who appeared in several shots while looking after Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis. George was four at the time of the wedding, Charlotte was three, and Borrallo later received the Royal Victorian Medal in silver from Prince William at Windsor Castle in March this year.
The anniversary post lands in a marriage that has unfolded far from royal life. Harry and Meghan stepped back from royal duties after their wedding and now live in Montecito, California with their two children, Prince Archie, who is seven, and Princess Lilibet, who is four. They continue much of their work through Archewell Philanthropies, and the latest post serves as a reminder of how closely watched their wedding still is, eight years on.
The guest list at the 2018 ceremony included Oprah Winfrey and Serena Williams, underscoring the event’s reach well beyond the royal family. What Meghan shared on Tuesday was not a new milestone so much as a carefully chosen look back at the moment that still defines the public story of Harry and Meghan.
