Were Duchess Meghan and Prince Harry married at their dream wedding on May 19, 2018? Now the couple ensures clarity.
Prince Harry (36) and Duchess Meghan (39) also chatted about their marriage in their TV interview with Oprah Winfrey (67) in early March. And revealed that they had “married” three days before their big wedding in 2018, which was televised around the world. Now a spokesman for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex clarified according to “Today”that the couple “privately exchanged personal vows a few days before their official wedding on May 19”.
In the TV interview, Meghan surprised the audience with her statement that there had been a wedding ceremony beforehand. “You know, we got married three days before our wedding. Nobody knows,” she told Oprah Winfrey. They called the archbishop and said that this was a spectacle for the world, but that they wanted to exchange their vows among themselves. Therefore, the two would have married three days before the official wedding “in our backyard”. The archbishop was there.
“You haven’t married before”
Clarification from Harry and Meghan’s team came after the supposedly early wedding ceremony sparked discussions in the British media. Most recently, “The Sun” showed the marriage certificatewhich was supposed to refute that the Sussexes were married before their dream wedding. Accordingly, the couple married on May 19, 2018 at Windsor Castle.
Stephen Borton, a former registry office executive, also confirmed to the newspaper: “They did not get married three days before the Archbishop of Canterbury.” He continued, “The special license I helped create enabled them to get married in St George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle, what happened there on May 19, 2018 and seen by millions around the world was the official wedding as recognized by the Church of England and the law, “said Borton.
