Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are husband and wife! The new royal couple said “I do” in front of 600 guests at St George’s Chapel on Saturday morning, with millions more around the world tuning in to watch the ceremony on television.
After leaving the chapel, the pair shared a kiss on the steps of the chapel, much to the delight of the thousands of cheering well wishers.
An emotional Harry wiped tears from his eyes as he watched Meghan walk down the aisle and received a few words of encouragement from his brother and best man, Prince William.
The entire congregation was beaming as Harry and Meghan exchanged their vows and even shared a laugh when Harry enthusiastically declared, “I will!” when asked if he would obey Meghan until death they do part.

Meghan looked absolutely beautiful in her Givenchy gown – designed by British designer Clare Waight Keller, who is the first female Artistic Director at historic French fashion house.
She chose a delicate white veil that was held in place by Queen Mary’s diamond bandeau tiara, lent to Meghan by the Queen. The diamond bandeau is English and was made in 1932, with the entre brooch dating from 1893.
Harry, meanwhile, wore the frockcoat uniform of the Blues and Royals.
