The Royal Wedding: Prince Harry, Meghan Markle, And The Guests
The much-awaited royal wedding took place on Saturday. Prince Harry and Meghan Markle tied the knot at St. George’s Chapel, and Prince Charles walked the bride down the aisle.
The Suits actress chose a modest white bridal gown designed by Givenchy’s Clare Waight Keller. She also wore a Queen Mary Diamond Bandeau tiara on loan from Queen Elizabeth. Prince Harry, flanked by his brother and best man Prince William, looked emotional as he waited for Markle.
As she reached his side, Harry appeared to say, “You look amazing. I missed you.”

The UK’s prime minister, Theresa May, took to Twitter to wish the newlyweds well. “My very best wishes to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle on their wedding day. To all of those joining the national celebration with street parties and other events, have a wonderful day,” she said.
Meghan Markle’s father, Thomas Markle, who was unable to attend the wedding due to health issues, told TMZ that he wished he was there to witness the ceremony.
“My baby looks beautiful and she looks very happy. I wish I were there and I wish them all my love and all happiness,” he said.
