Eight years have passed since Meghan Markle walked down the aisle of St George’s Chapel to marry Prince Harry in a memorable ceremony that captivated people worldwide. Following the church service, the couple and their guests enjoyed a lunchtime reception before a lively evening celebration hosted by King Charles at Frogmore House, featuring ‘dirty burgers’ and themed cocktails like ‘When Harry Met Meghan.’ During her speech, Meghan, standing alongside her husband, expressed heartfelt sentiments, acknowledging finding her prince and showing gratitude to Charles for his role in the ceremony.
Royal biographers Omid Scobie and Carolyn Durand hinted that Meghan referenced her struggle to express herself during her time in the Royal Family in her speech, highlighting her uniqueness as an American duchess. Meghan’s candid speech left attendees, including Americans, in awe, as she broke her silence and shared her thoughts in a safe environment.
Reflecting on her experience of being voiceless, Meghan later discussed feeling silenced during her interview with Oprah Winfrey, drawing parallels to The Little Mermaid. In a Netflix series released in 2022, Meghan revealed the content of her wedding day speech, emphasizing the modern fairytale of her love story with Harry and their journey together, from their first meeting to their shared commitment and love.
