Harry and Meghan Finally Admit They Didn’t Have Secret Backyard Wedding
Meghan told Oprah she and Harry tied the knot “in our backyard” three days before the $50 million public wedding on May 19, 2018.
Meghan, 39, said in the interview, “You know, three days before our wedding, we got married. No one knows that. The vows that we have framed in our room are just the two of us in our backyard with the Archbishop of Canterbury.”
The claim was much disputed, not least because in the U.K. a minimum of two witnesses are needed for a legal marriage to take place.
Today’s formal admission to The Daily Beast that no marriage took place in advance of the official ceremony comes after the marriage certificate document
was obtained by the British newspaper the Sun—the paper paid £42 (about $58) to obtain a copy from Britain’s General Register Office.
