Wearing a Clare Waight Keller for Givenchy dress, Meghan Markle married Prince Harry today in the royal wedding. The couple recited their vows at St. George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle – the 14th-century chapel has hosted 16 royal weddings since 1863.
About 45 minutes before the wedding, Meghan and her mother, Doria Ragland, left Cliveden House and began their 20-minute drive to the chapel.
They were chauffeured in a Rolls-Royce Phantom IV that was built and delivered in 1950, it was Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip’s first Rolls-Royce—made when she was still Princess Elizabeth—and is one of only 16 ever built.
Meghan wore Queen Mary’s diamond bandeau tiara, on loan from Queen Elizabeth II.
Prince Harry arrived with his brother, Prince Williams, wearing the Blues and Royals frockcoat uniform which was tailored at Dege & Skinner on Savile Row.
Harry and Meghan invited 2,640 members of the public onto the grounds of Windsor Castle to watch the arrivals: 1,200 members of the public from all parts of the United Kingdom; 200 people from charities connected to the couple; 100 students from local schools; 610 Windsor Castle community members; and 530 members of the Royal Households and the Crown Estate.
Patrick J. Adams, Princess Anne, Princess Beatrice, David Beckham, Victoria Beckham, Troian Bellisario, James Blunt, Cressida Bonas, Priyanka Chopra, Amal Clooney, George Clooney, Chelsy Davy, Princess Eugenie, Sarah Ferguson, Janina Gavankar, Tom Hardy, Gabriel Macht, Kate Middleton, Pippa Middleton, Misha Nonoo, Prince Philip, Abigail Spencer, Gina Torres, Serena Williams and Oprah Winfrey were among the guests.
Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby officiated the couple’s wedding vows; the Dean of Windsor, the Rev. David Conner, conducted the service; and The Most Rev. Michael Bruce Curry, the 27th Presiding Bishop and Primate of The Episcopal Church, gave the address. (Meghan was baptized into the Church of England in March, two months before the wedding.)
