The wedding of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex was witnessed by Queen Elizabeth II and the royal family, as well as stars and celebrities such as Oprah Winfrey, Elton John, George Clooney, and David Beckham.
After days of discussion over who would escort her to the altar, the bride made her way down the aisle of St. George’s Chapel on her own in a striking show of independence.
Meghan had asked her father Thomas Markle to walk with her but when he pulled out at the last minute, undergoing a heart operation after a furor over staged photos, Harry’s father Prince Charles stepped in.
The order of service – printed before the change – made clear Meghan had always planned to make a solo entrance, taking an escort for only the last few steps.
The crowd in Windsor erupted in cheers after the couple were officially declared husband and wife.
