Meghan Markle, Prince Harry Memorialize Their Secret Backyard Wedding By Keeping This Item

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry made sure to have a keepsake from their secret backyard wedding to memorialize it.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex shared several surprising revelations during their sit-down interview with Oprah Winfrey. Among them was the fact that the couple secretly exchanged vows in their backyard without any guests before their grand royal wedding that millions around the world witnessed on TV.

Prince Harry and Markle made sure to have an intimate remembrance of the secret event by having their vows framed and displayed in their mansion in Montecito.

"So the vows that we have framed in our room are just the two of us in our backyard with the Archbishop of Canterbury," Markle was quoted by People as saying.

During the tell-all, Markle told Winfrey that they tied the knot three days before their scheduled royal wedding and "no one knows that." Only Markle, Prince Harry and the Archbishop of Canterbury were present at the intimate ceremony.

On the day of Prince Harry and Markle's big day, the bride-to-be approached it with a sense of calm. Markle told Winfrey that it wasn't their day, but it was for the world. That's was why they decided to have a secret wedding for themselves because they wanted a more intimate and special ceremony between them.

"I've thought about this a lot because it was like having an out-of-body experience I was very present for. That's the only way I can describe it because the night before I slept through the night entirely, which in and of itself is a bit of a miracle," Markle said.

"And then woke up and started listening to that song 'Going to the Chapel.' And I just tried to make it fun and light and remind ourselves that this was our day — but I think we were both really aware, even in advance of that just, this wasn't our day. This was the day that was planned for the world," she added.

A vicar questioned Prince Harry and Markle's private wedding because couples can't get married twice. Entertainment Tonight has learned that they indeed exchange private vows but were only legally married on the day of their royal wedding on May 19, 2018.
