Among the newly released images were intimate moments from their lavish 2018 royal wedding, including romantic scenes taken during their private evening reception at Frogmore House. The emotional snapshots quickly drew attention from fans, offering a more personal glimpse of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex away from the public eye.
One of the most widely discussed photos showed Meghan and Harry during their first dance as husband and wife. The couple appeared completely absorbed in each other as they danced closely in front of their guests, while other images captured them sharing affectionate kisses throughout the celebration.

The second post highlighted the official ceremony, which was held inside St George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle.
Their royal wedding went on to become one of the most widely watched global events of the year, drawing an estimated audience of around 1.9 billion viewers worldwide as millions tuned in to watch the ceremony unfold.
Among the newly shared images, fans also noticed well-known guests in attendance, including Elton John, who performed during the wedding celebrations, as well as Meghan’s close friend Isabel May, the British PR professional who has remained close to the Duchess over the years.
But many people online quickly picked up on another detail.
Very few members of the royal family were visible across the photo collection. In fact, only a single image briefly showed King Charles III from behind as he accompanied Meghan down the aisle toward the altar before the ceremony.
The remainder of the carousel centered almost entirely on Meghan and Harry, highlighting emotional behind-the-scenes moments from their official wedding photoshoot.
Several of the images captured the newlyweds embracing, laughing, and holding each other closely immediately after the ceremony, offering followers a more intimate and personal glimpse into their wedding day than had previously been seen.
