Meghan Markle Marks 8th Anniversary With Unseen Royal Wedding Photos

The personal post offers a counterpoint to years of reports about pre‑wedding rifts and competing insider accounts.

Overview

  • Meghan shared two Instagram galleries Tuesday that show black‑and‑white images from her 2018 wedding, crediting photographer Chris Allerton.
  • The photos include an emotional first dance, playful kisses, and late‑night party scenes from the Frogmore House reception.
  • Another set shows formal moments at St George’s Chapel in Windsor, and features Elton John, who performed at the reception at Harry’s request, according to Kensington Palace at the time.
  • Coverage of the post also revisits disputed pre‑wedding dramas reported in books and by palace sources, including a tiara choice dispute and a row over flower‑girl dresses involving Princess Kate.
  • The backdrop includes the scandal that kept Meghan’s father, Thomas Markle, from attending the ceremony, after which Prince Charles walked her down the aisle.
