Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s claim that they wed in secret has been blown apart by their own marriage certificate.
In their bombshell interview with Oprah, the Duchess of Sussex claimed that the Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby married her and Harry three days before their wedding.
However, the General Register Office has now revealed the couple’s wedding certificate for the first time, proving they did get married on May 19, 2018 in a lavish ceremony at Windsor Castle after all.
The official who drew up the licence says Meghan is ‘obviously confused’ and ‘clearly misinformed’ over the wedding.
‘What I suspect they did was exchange some simple vows they had perhaps written themselves, and which is fashionable, and said that in front of the Archbishop — or, and more likely, it was a simple rehearsal.’
Meghan told Oprah on the show: ‘You know, three days before our wedding, we got married. No one knows that.’
She said the couple asked the Archbishop to marry them in private at Nottingham Cottage — their home in the grounds of Kensington Palace.
The account has now been dismissed by Mr Borton who said they couldn’t have gotten married in the grounds of Nottingham Cottage as it is not an authorised venue.
