Harry's marriage. Photos and videos from the wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle: the highlights of the royal ceremony
On May 19, 2018, His Highness Prince Harry and his beloved Meghan Markle exchanged vows of love and fidelity at the altar of St. George's Chapel at Windsor Castle. We followed the preparations for this "show of the year" from the very announcement of the engagement, and although the royal family's press office shared the details of the organization of the wedding more than selectively, journalists, experts and just fans put forward their own assumptions until the last day before the ceremony.
We tell you how, in the end, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle organized their celebration, and also compare which of our guesses coincided with reality and which did not.
The titles of Harry and Meghan are very symbolic
Following an established tradition, Her Majesty, before the wedding of her grandson, awarded him the honorary title of the Duke of Sussex. We will also call Meghan Markle from now on, who avoided the fate of being called Princess Henry of Wales and from this day officially becomes Her Royal Highness Megan, Duchess of Sussex. Strictly speaking, this news did not come as a surprise, because it was this duchy that was initially the favorite among royal experts. However, this version was confirmed only after the fact.
Recall that in addition to Sussex, other duchies were also free in Great Britain: for example, Clarence, Windsor, Albany and Connaught. However, experts believed that the Queen would not choose among them, since these titles were "discredited" due to the not entirely reasonable behavior of their previous owners. But with Sussex, it’s a completely different matter: its only duke was Prince Augustus Frederick (the sixth son of George III, uncle of Queen Victoria), who, by the way, also married not for the sake of protocol, but for love: first, to the Catholic Augusta Murray, and then on Lady Cecilia Baggins. Both marriages were illegal, so that neither of these women ever became the Duchess of Sussex (Lady Cecilia was later granted the title of Duchess of Inverness by Queen Victoria). Thus, Megan becomes the first. A very symbolic and in its own way beautiful turn in the history of the British monarchy.
Visitors from both sides of the Atlantic
Kensington Palace, of course, did not disclose the list of lucky people who received an invitation to the royal wedding, but still dropped a couple of hints. In total, 600 people were invited to the service at St. George's Chapel and to the subsequent lunch, a third of whom were able to attend the evening reception at Frogmore House in the evening. Also, Harry and Meghan invited almost two and a half thousand more people to the territory of Windsor Castle - commoners, so that "as many people as possible could share the festivities with them."
As expected, we did not see politicians or ruling monarchs from Europe and from all over the world: the wedding of Harry and Megan is too modest for such high-ranking persons. Meanwhile, in St. George's Chapel, we quite unexpectedly noticed the former British Prime Minister John Major with his wife Norma, as well as the Prince of Lesotho.
Contrary to speculation last days, not only direct descendants of Her Majesty were invited to Windsor, but also senior members of the branches of Gloucester and Kent. But perhaps the most pleasant surprise for many was the appearance in St. George's Chapel of Sarah Ferguson, Duchess of York, who, after her divorce from Prince Andrew, was persona non grata at royal weddings for more than twenty years.
Most of all, however, show business stars and socialites from all over the world came to the event. Apparently, Megan's colleagues on the TV series Suits, the Beckham couple, Jessica Mulourney and her family, Serena Williams, George and Amal Clooney, Priyanka Chopra, James Blunt and even Oprah Winfrey received their invitations!
The bride's dress is full of meaning
Perhaps there was no more exciting intrigue than the bride's wedding dress. Bookmakers accepted bets on everything from the name of the designer to the style of the dress. As for the fashion designer, Erdem, Roland Mouret, Inbal Dror, Jenny Packham, Alexander McQueen and Ralph & Russo were on the list of unconditional favorites, in whose “naked” dress the future Duchess posed in her engagement photo shoot.
As for the style, here the assumptions were limited only by the imagination of those who propose. For example, the author of Princess Diana's wedding dress, Elizabeth Emanuel, even ventured to offer the prince's bride a silhouette with a skirt slightly raised to mid-calf. Megan herself, when she was a film actress, said that she herself would not have worn the fabulous wedding dress of Rachel Zane from Force Majeure, but would have preferred laconic lines, an elegant cut with just one unusual detail.
What did we actually get? It turned out that Meghan Markle gave everyone a real surprise. The main wedding dress of the future Duchess was made by Givenchy. The bride of Prince Harry was very inspired by the fact that last year, for the first time, a woman became the art director of the brand - Briton Claire Waight Keller. So Meghan not only curtsied to the British fashion heritage, but also once again emphasized its intention to protect and uphold the rights of women.
The bride's tiara came from a (very) old storeroom.
Another intrigue that was resolved only on day X. As we remember, in the UK, the bride’s outfit must always read the old code: “something new, something old, something borrowed and something blue.” It is not difficult to assume that royal brides quite often “borrow” family tiaras for their images: for example, Lady Di married in the Spencer family tiara, and Kate Middleton in the famous Cartier Halo jewelry (from Her Majesty’s collection).
What jewelry did Prince Harry's fiancee "borrow"? Quite unexpectedly, Her Majesty granted Meghan a tiara from the collection of her beloved grandmother, the famous Mary of Teck. The diamond bandeau tiara was made in 1932. Its ten-stone flower centerpiece is a brooch that was designed back in 1893 and given to the then Princess Mary of Teck for her wedding to George, Duke of Kent (the future King George V).
The tiara is made of platinum and consists of 11 separate fragments, encrusted with oval-cut and pavé-cut diamonds. different sizes(due to this, a unique radiance and brilliance is created around the bride's head). In 1953, Mary of Teck bequeathed the bandeau to Queen Elizabeth II, but neither the monarch nor anyone else in the royal family ever wore it. A very elegant and in its own way cunning step: the decoration has not been seen on anyone for so long that many have forgotten about its existence. Thus, Megan received an almost new tiara, avoiding unnecessary comparisons with other women from the Windsor dynasty.
Megan's veil replaced her train
The wedding dress of the prince's bride is, first of all, laconic lines and minimalism, which has long been inscribed in the Givenchy code. The style of the outfit, apparently, has a very small train, which the bride could easily handle herself, without the help of bridesmaids or pages. However, the kids at the royal wedding did not remain idle, because, oddly enough, Mrs. Markle decided to shift the role of the train to her wedding veil.
The snow-white veil of the authorship of the same Claire White reached in length - just think about it! - 5 meters. As specified, while working on the veil, seamstresses had to thoroughly wash their hands every half hour. All embroidery on it is made by hand, and each flower in it symbolizes one of the 53 Commonwealth countries (yes, the designer personally studied the flora of each state!).
Only one relative from the side of the bride
With an item called "family", frankly, Meghan Markle was not too lucky. Uncomfortable relatives of royal brides are certainly not uncommon, and no one can blame Ms Markle for not keeping in touch with some of them. Certainly, past royal brides also had difficult relatives, and yet not one of them dared to refuse an invitation to her family in almost full strength.
Surprisingly, it’s a fact: out of the whole family, only the girl’s mother, Doria Ragland, was invited to support Megan on the most responsible and magical day in her life. Initially, the father of the bride, Tom Markle Sr., was supposed to come to Windsor, who, however, “turned off” the trip because of the scandal with staged photos and because of the need to urgently undergo heart surgery (which, by the way, many did not believe). But it was he who had to take the bride to the altar ...
To the altar, accompanied by the future King
The unexpected scandal surrounding the father of the bride logically fueled discussions about who will accompany Ms. Markle to the altar. Mother? That would be a beautiful (and very tolerant) gesture. Or maybe the bride will go alone? Also possible, given Meghan's feminist views. And yet, many hoped (and made bets) that the bride would be “handed over” to the groom by his father, Prince Charles, the future king of Great Britain. Fortunately, that is exactly what happened.
Kensington Palace announced that Meghan will walk down the aisle, accompanied by the Prince of Wales, just a day before the wedding day. For Charles, leading brides to their suitors is, oddly enough, nothing new. In 2016, Princess Diana's goddaughter Alexandra Knatchbull, who was said to be in a not too good relations with his own father.
It is not surprising that the heir coped with the task perfectly. And Megan received additional confirmation that the royal family is happy with her and ready to take her in, despite a whole army of relatives who want to upset her wedding.
Prince Harry still got the ring (and it is very original)
At first glance, this fact seems to be self-evident, but in English realities this is far from being the case. For example, the elder brother of the groom in 2011 refused a wedding ring, and during the wedding he simply put her jewelry on Catherine's ring finger, without receiving his own in return.
The whole point is that English tradition does not oblige men to wear wedding rings. This fashion only came to the UK after World War II, but is still optional. On the day of his wedding, Prince Harry received this attribute of a married person from the bride, but whether he will wear it in the future (and if so, on which finger) is another question. However, we do not exclude that Megan, as a girl from America, will ask him to still wear an engagement jewelry. Especially since Harry, unlike his brother, never disliked men's accessories.
An interesting fact: in the British royal family, it is customary to make wedding rings from special gold mined in the mines of North Wales. As we can see, Megan's jewelry is really gold. But Harry got a "ribbon" of platinum, and this is also a kind of departure from the old Windsor custom.
Anthem of Tolerance Sung at the Wedding
Perhaps one of the most memorable moments at the wedding ceremony was the performance of the well-known British choir ensemble The Kingdom Choir, which performed Ben King's cult composition "Stand by me". An amazing ballad, of course, can often be heard on modern weddings, but in the context of Harry and Meghan's wedding, it had a special meaning. The thing is that this song gained particular popularity during the civil rights movement in the United States, at some point becoming an anthem of solidarity and tolerance. A very symbolic gesture on the part of the organizers, given that the composition was performed by a choir, most of the singers in which are black.
Mothers of pages and flower girls have not decided who to entrust their children to
The representative of the bride and groom immediately made a reservation that Meghan Markle would not have an adult bridesmaid at the wedding, because the actress simply could not single out the favorite from the inner circle of her famous friends. And yet, given that there were two- and three-year-olds in the company of flower girls and page boys, we still expected the bride to single out one of her friends to look after the babies (as was the case on Pippa Middleton's wedding, for example). Many even thought that this role would be taken by the Duchess of Cambridge, who showed herself perfectly in this role at the wedding of her younger sister a year ago. But it seems that the mothers of pages and flower girls could not choose among themselves one responsible for all the children, and decided to bring the kids to the Chapel all together. As a result, Megan had four matrons of honor at once (as the main bridesmaids who are already married themselves are called in the West): Kate Middleton, Jessica Mulroney, Zoe Warren and Benita Litt.
Not without strange hats
Otherwise, however, it could not be. As we have written more than once, hats are a must-have accessory for British wedding guests, and the more original they are, the better. As a rule, it is the indigenous women who are especially successful in this matter. Foggy Albion, so taking into account Megan's American friends, there seemed to be fewer hats worthy of becoming an Internet meme than, for example, at the wedding of William and Kate. However, some examples caught our attention.
Princess Beatrice did not repeat the success of her famous "frame" from the famous fashion designer Philip Tracy and appeared on May 19 in a rather unpretentious facinator in the form of many rims. She did not provoke social networks and her younger sister Evgenia.
However, thanks to such persons as the Duchess Camilla, Serena Williams (unexpectedly), Shelley Jenkins, Chelsea Davy and Hayley Henson, the “hat minimum” at the wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle was nevertheless completed. Judge for yourself:
1 /9
Today, May 19, at noon British time (14:00 Kyiv time), Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will be married in Windsor. After an hour-long service at St. George's Church at Windsor Castle, Prince Harry and his wife will drive around the city for 25 minutes in an open Ascot landau.
Members of the royal family, Prince Harry and his best man Prince William, arrived at Windsor Castle. The last to arrive was Queen Elizabeth II.
Watch Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's Royal Wedding Live
According to the BBC, millions of people around the world are expected to watch the broadcast of the wedding. About ten thousand people will stand on the streets of Windsor to see the newlyweds with their own eyes.
Prince Harry's wedding: how the ceremony will go
Markle won't promise to "obey" her husband in her wedding vow, and Prince Harry has reportedly decided to wear wedding ring, although according to tradition in the royal family, men do not do this.
The future father-in-law, Prince Charles, will lead the American down the aisle, since her father will not come to the wedding. Meghan will have a retinue of 10 young bridesmaids and pages, all under eight years old.
She decided not to appoint anyone to the official role of bridesmaid, saying that she did not want to choose one of several close friends. In Windsor, about 250 police officers will keep order.
Leaving the church, the newlyweds will pass through Windsor, where Windsor Castle is located - one of the Queen's official residences.
The procession will end at St. George's Hall at Windsor Castle, where there will be a gala dinner attended by 600 people.
Toward evening, the newlyweds will go to the nearby Frogmore House, the country residence of the royal family, where 200 of their closest friends will gather.
Meghan Markle has become the first royal bride to walk half the way down the aisle on her own. Halfway through, the bride was met by her future father-in-law, Prince Charles, who led her to the altar and Prince Harry. The bride's father was unable to attend the ceremony for health reasons.
Tens of thousands of people gathered on the streets of Windsor to celebrate the royal wedding.
How Prince Harry and actress Meghan Markle met
Prince Harry is the sixth in line to the British throne. Meghan Markle is best known for her role in the television series Suits.
They were introduced mutual friends in 2016. Their first "blind date" pleasantly surprised both of them. Just a few weeks after they met, the prince persuaded Meghan Markle to travel with him to Botswana. Then the prince offered her his hand and heart. The prince revealed that the two of them were cooking baked chicken when Prince Harry suddenly dropped to one knee.
Will Meghan Markle become a princess?
Upon marriage, Meghan's official title will be Her Royal Highness Princess Henry of Wales. But only people born into the royal family can add the title "princess" to their name. Most likely, the Queen will award the newlyweds a dukedom, as she did after the marriage of William and Kate, who became the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.
Are Prince Harry and Meghan Markle planning to have children?
Prince Harry's brother Prince William and his wife will have their third child next year. Meghan Markle laughed when her fiance, answering a question about plans for children, replied "not now." "Everything is gradual. I hope we will become a family in the near future," said Prince Harry.
The friendship between the two royal brothers is unbreakable and touching, but still not complete without mutual jokes and witticisms. Prince Harry had a good laugh at his older brother when he married Kate Middleton in 2011. Seven years later, Prince William took revenge - and it was very funny.
Prince William and Prince Harry at St. George's Chapel, May 19, 2018“Oh, wonderful ... Revenge is always sweet,” - these are the promising words of the Duke of Cambridge reacted to the proposal of his younger brother act as his best man. Seven years ago, Prince Harry performed brilliantly in this role at the wedding of William and Kate Middleton, delivering a classic " best friend The groom is a kind of impudent merry fellow who is given the sacred right to make fun of the newlyweds and the pathos of the whole day.
“William didn’t have a single bone in his body that was somehow responsible for romance,” Harry joked during a private wedding reception for the Dukes of Cambridge. “So when I heard him cooing on the phone with Kate, I immediately knew that things were very serious between them.” In his speech, the prince repeatedly called the groom "dude", and also did not miss the opportunity to tell the guests that in home environment Kate calls William Billy, and he calls her baby.
In a word, the Duke of Cambridge definitely had something to "revenge" his younger brother for - especially since on the morning of May 19, Prince Harry was the perfect target for jokes. Usually smiling and cheerful, the groom was visibly nervous on the eve of the ceremony and could hardly control his excitement. But his brother clearly felt like “experienced”: while Harry impulsively waved to passers-by, straightened his gloves and seemed to barely understand what was happening, the Duke of Cambridge walked to St. George's Chapel lightly, smiling and, probably, secretly laughing at awkwardness of the groom (of course, kindly).
William's triumphant calm, towering over his younger brother's nervousness, would in itself be a good revenge for 2011. However, as the lip readers found out, the Duke of Cambridge nevertheless tried to help his brother and defuse the situation by setting the groom in a less serious way.
“I feel really tight in my pants,” William casually said to his brother as they walked toward the Chapel.
The young people continued to talk in the Chapel itself, while they were waiting for the bride. The experts managed to find out that at times the princes remembered, for example, their mother or talked about Megan. Prince William, however, even in the Chapel did not give up on the idea to reduce the degree of pathos of the whole event. You can guess this only by watching a small (and very funny) video from the church. It is not known exactly what the brothers were talking about, but some amateur, apparently inspired by the remark of the Duke of Cambridge about pants, interpreted the conversation as follows:
William:"I have potatoes in my pants."
Harry:"What?"
William:"I have potatoes in my pants."
Harry:“Does your wife know you have potatoes in your pants?”
William:"No, he doesn't."
But the most interesting of the groom was ahead, because in the evening Prince Charles gave a private reception in honor of Harry and Megan. Here, as they say, all the fun began - with an abundance of booze, with dancing and, of course, "awkward" congratulations ( more: ). Of course, Prince William was well prepared to repay his younger brother for his best man's speech in 2011. The oratorical exercise of the Duke of Cambridge, according to insiders, was a success - it is no coincidence that many guests described his speech as "shameless", but very "touching".
Here are just a few funny quotes from the congratulations of Prince William, shared by sources from British and world publications.
Oh Megan
William is said to have referred to the Duchess of Sussex as "the sister he never had" (courtesy return: in 2011, Prince Harry referred to Kate in similar terms). The Duke of Cambridge generally chose the classic strategy of any best man: praise the bride and joke on the groom. Megan received such a compliment: “She is the best thing that happened in the life of Haz” (Haz, as a derivative of Harry - this is how the prince is called in the inner circle).
Oh Harry
In 2011, Prince Harry, in his best man's speech, publicly sympathized with Kate for marrying such a "bald man" (William was only 28 at the time). Could he have thought that in just seven years a small bald patch would form on the top of his head too? “Yes, soon everything will be as bad for you as it is for me,” the Duke of Cambridge assured the groom with a smile.
About their love
One of the most controversial reactions was caused by Prince William's philosophical discussions about love. Appreciate the beauty of English humor: “My brother is in love, and it shows. Love is like a little wet boy. You do not understand that you have peed, but others see it - and you feel only pleasant warmth. Well, it's poetic.
About the general atmosphere
“With all this talk of love, emotions just go wild,” added Prince Harry’s best man. “Look, even the cake is crying!” What exactly Prince William had in mind when talking about the delicacy remains a mystery, but the guests of the reception swear that the joke was a success. Perhaps something really happened to Claire Ptak's confectionery masterpiece? Or was it the duke's attack on the fashionable and deliberately casually applied buttercream, which the newlyweds preferred to perfectly smooth mastic? (

: today lovers exchanged marriage vows in the presence of relatives, friends and star guests. The online broadcast of the ceremony was watched by millions of people around the world - the spectacle was truly fabulous ..
1. Arrival of the bride
One of the most exciting moments at any wedding is. Megan came to the church with her mother, as well as with young assistants - pages and bridesmaids. The kids, including Prince George and Princess Charlotte, were so adorable. But, of course, all the same, the eyes were riveted on Megan, who gracefully walked up the stairs, going up to the chapel, where her future husband was already waiting for her.
2. Wedding dress
Oh oh wedding dress Meghan Markle legends circulated six months before the wedding itself - rumors about what the outfit would be like appeared literally every day. But Megan fooled everyone: most of the theories and insider stories were not confirmed. For help preparing for one of the most important days of her life, Prince Harry's lover turned to British designer Claire Waight Keller, who heads the French fashion house Givenchy. Claire is the first female creative director in the history of the brand, and many believe that choosing her as the author of the wedding dress is a kind of "political statement".
For the bride of the British prince, the designer created a laconic but spectacular dress made of silk with a train and a five-meter-long veil. The veil was embroidered with 53 flowers, each of which symbolized one of the countries of the Commonwealth of Nations. This reference is not accidental: after the wedding, working with the Commonwealth will become a priority for Meghan and Harry as members of the royal family.
3. Antique tiara
One more important detail Megan's image was a diamond tiara, which was lent to the bride by Queen Elizabeth. The tiara belonged to her grandmother, Queen Mary, and was made in 1932. At the center of this magnificent piece is a detachable brooch of 10 diamonds dated 1893, which Maria received as a gift for her wedding. A tiara was made especially for this brooch.
Diamonds on this day were also on Megan's other jewelry - earrings and a bracelet from Cartier.
4. "You're gorgeous!"
Not only did fashion critics take their breath away when they first saw Meghan in a wedding dress - Harry also froze in admiration. And when the future wife approached him, he gently whispered to her: "You look great." Those who watched the broadcast almost died of emotion.
5. Harry was very nervous
Megan's face did not leave a smile for almost the entire ceremony, but Harry, with a red face and trembling hands, smiled inappropriately and often frowned. But not from bad mood, No! It's just that the groom was very, very worried, especially while waiting for the bride. When Megan appeared, Harry cheered up, but it seems that he did not stop being nervous, which was noticeable in his face and voice. The bride encouraged the groom as best she could, but as soon as he left the church, he finally relaxed.
6. Star guests
The wedding will also be remembered by the number of guests - it seems that we have never seen so many celebrities visiting monarchs. and Amal Clooney, David and, Tom Hardy, Carey Mulligan, Serena Williams, Oprah Winfrey, Megan's colleagues on the series Suits - who was not here!
We are completely silent about the representatives and Prince Harry - no one could miss such a wedding!
7. Debut Kate Middleton
Undoubtedly, she became one of the most important guests, because the Duchess of Cambridge for the first time after her third child. For solemn event Kate chose a light dress and matching hat, but her mood, according to Internet users, left much to be desired that day - it seemed to many that she was dissatisfied with something and frowned all the time.
8. The role of Prince William
William had a very important role - he became the best man of his younger brother. And, in our opinion, he coped with his task perfectly: he kept calm and tried to cheer up Harry, who was very nervous waiting for the bride.
In the meantime, guests and spectators sighed sentimentally, remembering how, in the same way, Harry reassured William at his wedding in 2011.
9. Prince George and Princess Charlotte conquered everyone again
Whoever was in a good mood was the children: the kids, who got the honorary roles of pages and bridesmaids at the wedding (some carried a veil for the bride, others carried flowers), obviously rejoiced at what was happening - no one was capricious, everyone smiled. True, George looked a little scowling for a while, but everyone chalked it up to the usual tiredness after a long ceremony. But the indefatigable Charlotte was as cheerful at the end of the ceremony as at the beginning - just look at how she waves to the cheering crowd!
10. "Mad" priest
In terms of the most hesitant moments, George and Charlotte have a rival - Bishop Michael Curry, the head of the Episcopal Church (the Anglican Church in America), the first African American in this position. It, called "The Power of Love", shocked the guests not only with its content, but also with its performance: violent gestures, sudden transitions from whispering to screaming and vice versa, all kinds of oratory techniques - this is not the case in the church, and even at the wedding and in the presence of the entire royal family, not was never. Everyone seemed to be surprised, even Harry, who actually invited the bishop himself to speak.
But everyone's reaction was different: the Queen was clearly unhappy with such a violent expression of feelings, David Beckham almost laughed out loud, Prince Charles and Duchess Camilla held back their laughter, Harry listened intently, and Megan listened with a smile.
But aside from that, How spoke the bishop and focus on What he said, it would not be a laughing matter - it would not burst into tears, because the speech turned out to be very touching and heartfelt! It began with a quote from Martin Luther King:
We must find the power of love—the saving power. And when we find it, we can change the old world and make it new. Love is the only way out.
There is power in love. Don't underestimate her. But it's also too idealistic. There is power, and that power is love. Love is able to help and heal when nothing else can help. It is the power of love that inspires us, leads us forward, and sets us free when nothing else can.
11.
During the ceremony, not only classical music was played, but also the 1962 hit Stand By Me, which Harry and Meghan chose for the ceremony themselves. It was performed by a gospel choir, which included many African-American performers. The performance turned out to be very emotional and bright, which, of course, no one expected from a "classic" royal wedding.
12 How Princess Diana Became Part Of The Ceremony
It was very important to Harry that his late mother be invisibly present at his wedding. Princess Diana's sisters, sisters Sarah McCorquodale, Jane Fellows and brother Charles Spencer, were among the guests, with Harry's aunt Jane also speaking to those present. At the ceremony, she read verses from the Epistle to the Romans on the power of love.
Representatives of the royal family have previously confirmed that Meghan and Harry are going to honor the memory of Diana during the wedding:
Prince Harry and Ms Markle are delighted and moved that Lady Jane will represent Diana's family and help them honor the late Princess on this day.
13. Exchange of vows
The moment when Harry and Meghan exchanged wedding vows, promising to love and cherish each other in sorrow and joy, was one of the most touching of the entire ceremony. Not only Megan's mother was crying (and almost the entire editorial staff!), but also many guests and viewers of the broadcast. No wonder: the bride and groom in love with burning happy eyes, the festive atmosphere, the ringing silence, which is broken only by the words of the priest and solemn oaths - it is impossible not to get emotional!
15. Wedding procession
The wedding did not end - Harry and Megan got into a horse-drawn carriage and went for a walk around Windsor - to greet fans who spent days and nights along the route of the procession and took better places in advance to see the newlyweds at least with one eye.
It looked impressive, and not so much because of Harry and Meghan themselves, but because of the number of people who took to the streets to congratulate them.
