In their interview with Oprah, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle said they were not married on May 19, 2018, but three days earlier in a private ceremony in their garden. “None of it”, it now sounds in church circles.

“We were actually married three days before our wedding, but nobody knows that,” said Meghan in the interview for the American channel CBS. “We called the Archbishop of Canterbury and asked him to come to our garden. We didn’t just want a day for the public, we wanted a wedding day for ourselves. So we held a ceremony in our backyard, just the three of us. The vows I framed are the words I uttered then. ”

But that could not be legally valid, it sounds in ecclesiastical circles. Not only would there have been too few witnesses, but the archbishop alone is not enough. The public should also have access to a church wedding, as objections may be raised. By the way, the Anglican Church also forbids marrying twice, so the public ceremony could not have taken place in that case. The wedding date on the deed is therefore 19 May 2018.
A spokesperson for the couple said it was a misunderstanding. For example, the couple would have spoken of a symbolic ceremony and no legal connection. The revelations are in any case grist to the mill of the tabloids who immediately question everything from the Oprah interview.
