Stunning Revelations From Prince Harry And Meghan Markle’s Oprah Interview

In January of 2020 Prince Harry and Meghan Markle made the unprecedented decision to step down as senior working members of The Royal Family, and just over one year later the pair opened up like never before about the events leading up to their decision. In a sit-down interview with Oprah Winfrey the couple revealed some surprising, tragic and truly unbelievable things they went through before finally deciding to step away from a toxic environment as working royals. Follow along for some of the most stunning revelations from the tell-all interview:

Their Actual Wedding

Well before the pair made the difficult decision to step away from The Royal Family, they were already known for bucking tradition and doing things their own way. While the pair did have a very large, very public royal wedding which has become custom, they revealed in their interview that they actually privately married three days before because they wanted something more private and intimate. “Three days before our wedding, we got married. No one knows that but we called the [Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby] and we just said, ‘Look, this thing, this spectacle is for the world, but we want our union between us,” said Meghan. “The vows that we have framed in our room are just the two of us in our backyard with the Archbishop of Canterbury. Just the three of us.” She added, “I think we were both really aware, even in advance of that, this, this wasn’t our day. This was the day that was planned for the world.”
