It’s crazy to think that one year ago, the world was watching as Meghan Markle and Prince Harry tied the knot.
Since then, they’ve welcomed their first child together, Archie. It’s safe to say that it’s been a wild year for the couple!

Today marks the one year anniversary of the wedding of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, if you want to get formal.
You might remember their wedding.
It was only one of the most-watched, most-talked about, and most beautiful royal ceremonies in recent history. Meghan’s starry-eyed look at her husband was instantly iconic.
It was an incredible event.
We’ve poured over all the photographs and videos time and time again, and almost as if to reward us for our dedication to this adorable royal couple, they shared some behind the scenes pictures.
They shared a video montage on Instagram.
It was filled with many never-before-seen photos from their wedding day, and they’re gorgeous.
Anyone who didn’t know any better would probably look at the photos and not realize that millions of people around the world tuned in for this wedding.
Actually, it was 29 million people, according to Forbes .
Prince Harry has always had a good sense of humor.
We can only imagine that he’s already started cracking the dad jokes to Archie.
What do you think Prince Harry was reading here?
His vows are the most obvious answer, but I like to think that Meghan wrote him a letter to read before the ceremonies.
Meghan’s dress drew a lot of discussion from fans.
Did you know that her silk veil was 16 feet long and took 500 hours to embroider, according to Reader’s Digest .
Apparently, there were two flowers embroidered into her veil.
One is the California poppy to represent where she’s from, and the other is the Wintersweet, which grows on the Kensington Palace grounds.
Prince Charles walked Meghan down the aisle.
Weeks and even days before the wedding, there was a lot of drama between Meghan’s father, and in the end, he did not attend the wedding.
Meghan’s mother, Doria Ragland, was in attendance.
The Royal Family appeared to welcome Doria with open arms, as many fans saw during the ceremony.
The signing of the marriage certificate was something not seen during the live broadcast.
It’s pretty great to be able to finally get a glimpse into this iconic moment.
We can only imagine what was going through their heads at this moment.
After they had just been married in front of the entire world, it was probably nice to have a moment of privacy.
Of course, they had to do the wedding party photos.
Meghan’s bridesmaids included Princess Charlotte, Florence van Cutsem, Remi Litt, Rylan Litt (Meghan’s goddaughters), Ivy Mulroney (Jessica and Ben Mulroney’s daughter) and Zalie Warren (Prince Harry’s goddaughter).
Her Page Boys were Prince George, Jasper Dyer (Prince Harry’s godson), Brian Mulroney and John Mulroney (Jessica and Ben Mulroney’s sons).
That moment.
We all got to see this famous kiss happen from the other perspective. It’s interesting to see what their view was.
On another note, how long do you think those people camped out for that view?
It’s hard to believe that this day was one year ago.
It feels like just yesterday that we were taking guesses as to what her dress would like, who would walk her down the aisle, and if Harry would cry or not.
Harry and Meghan have come a long way.
From their adorable twenty minute interview where Harry revealed he proposed to Meghan over roast chicken all the way to their one year wedding anniversary.
And, of course, the birth of their darling baby boy, Archie.
Time flies when you’re a royal, I guess! They really are a modern fairy tale, with the gorgeous wedding to prove it, even behind the scene.
Watch the whole montage yourself.
It features “This Little Light Of Mine”, which was sung during their recessional.
Congrats, Harry and Meghan!
