The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are celebrating eight years since they tied the knot in Windsor in 2018, with Meghan sharing a series of unseen photos from their big day
Meghan Markle has shared a selection of never-before-seen photos as she and Prince Harry celebrate their eighth wedding anniversary today. The Duchess of Sussex took to Instagram to share 24 new pics of their wedding day, as she divided the images into two posts: one reflecting on their ceremony during the day, and one looking back at their fun-filled wedding reception in the evening.
Accompanying the photos, Meghan simply captioned the post “Eight years ago today” with a sun and moon emoji, while also crediting photographer Chris Allerton who snapped their nuptials. The images looking back on the wedding ceremony, which are mostly in black and white, show the then-newlywed couple just after they said ‘I do’.
The photos show Harry and Meghan sharing a quiet moment in Windsor Castle before their reception, with others showing the behind-the-scenes moment of their official wedding portraits. In other photos, Meghan stands with her mother Doria and Harry hugs a wedding guest.
Also shown are photos of the couple delivering their wedding speeches, and raising a toast before sharing a kiss in front of their families and friends.
In the photos looking back at their wedding evening, Meghan posted 12 photos of the newlywed couple taking to the dancefloor for their first dance, before stealing a kiss as Meghan flashed her new wedding ring.
Harry and Meghan tied the knot eight years ago in a fairytale ceremony at St George’s Chapel in Windsor Castle. Back then in 2018, the couple were seen as a force who could help to take the monarchy into the modern age and certainly appeared to hit the ground running.
However, less than two years later, Harry and Meghan quit their royal roles and relocated to California. Since then, much has changed for the couple as they have built their lives outside of the Royal Family.
Prince Harry has continued to undertake his philanthropic work, attending engagements for WellChild, Invictus Games, and putting his efforts towards causes he is passionate about, including mental health awareness and online safety for children.
As for Meghan, she is focused on her lifestyle brand As Ever, which largely sells a range of consumables as well as select homeware items. The Duchess of Sussex has also had success with her Netflix series titled With Love, Meghan, which has run for two seasons as well as a seasonal holiday special.
The couple are continuing their joint charity work by undertaking occasional overseas visits, which some opt to call ‘pseudo-royal tours’. In 2026, Harry and Meghan travelled to Jordan and Australia for international work.
Harry and Meghan will likely be celebrating their wedding anniversary with their two children, Archie and Lilibet, in tow as they continue to thrive in their life in California away from the Royal Family.
