Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are celebrating eight years of marriage today by sharing a collection of never-before-seen photographs from their Windsor Castle nuptials.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex exchanged vows at St George’s Chapel on May 19 2018, and are marking the occasion at their Montecito residence alongside their two children.
Prince Archie, now seven, and Princess Lilibet, four, are expected to be part of the anniversary celebrations.
The photo release comes shortly after the Duchess of Sussex returned from a visit to Geneva, capping what has been an eventful period for the California-based couple.

The couple subsequently stepped away from their royal roles and relocated to California with their family.
The anniversary celebrations follow a busy start to 2026 for the couple, who travelled to Australia last month for a four-day visit marking their first return since 2018.
During the trip, the former Suits star spoke openly about the difficulties of life in the public eye, describing it as “very hard” at times.
She also reflected on the “amazing moments” since meeting Harry in 2016, including their wedding and becoming parents, whilst acknowledging the intense scrutiny she has faced.
