When Meghan Markle and Prince Harry married at Windsor Castle in May 2018, their fairytale ceremony captured the world’s imagination. Nearly two billion people across the world watched as they tied the knot inside St George’s Chapel in front of Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip, as well as the then Prince of Wales, his wife the Duchess of Cornwall and the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.

Celebrity guests including George Clooney, David and Victoria Beckham, Sir Elton John and Idris Elba were also in attendance, bringing with them a Hollywood sparkle never previously seen at a British royal wedding.

As the new Duke and Duchess of Sussex rode off in a vintage E-type Jaguar for a lavish wedding reception at Frogmore House, it seemed as though the world was their oyster.

Celebrating their seventh wedding anniversary last week – the couple are understood to have gone on a romantic spa break in Arizona – Meghan paid tribute to their love by posting on Instagram a pinboard full of images of herself, Harry and their children, Prince Archie, six, and three-year-old Princess Lilibet.
