It\u2019s hard to believe that it was just eight years ago today that Meghan Markle<\/a> became the Duchess of Sussex, marrying her prince\u2014or rather the<\/em> Prince Harry<\/a>\u2014with a grand royal wedding at Windsor Castle.<\/p>\n

The couple, who tied the knot on May 19, 2018, have celebrated the milestone by letting their followers behind the curtain. Earlier in the day, Meghan shared a handful of never-before-seen images from their wedding<\/a>, and now, she\u2019s posted a few videos to her Instagram Stories, showcasing the incredibly thoughtful present her beau surprised her with.<\/p>\n

In one video, Harry was seen presenting Meghan with a lemon elderflower cake in their kitchen, singing a rendition of \u201cHappy Birthday\u201d with the words swapped out to say \u201cHappy Anniversary.\u201d Their two children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet<\/a>, sang along\u2014instructing their parents to blow out the candles.<\/p>\n

Next up, Meghan opened a bronze sculpture of two penguins intertwined, gushing at the gift. \u201cWhen mama and papa, when we got engaged, we had a party with all of our friends,\u201d Meghan explained to the kids, who eagerly assessed the new present. \u201cWe said everyone has to wear onesies, and we were penguins because we\u2019re together for life.\u201d<\/p>\n

(Penguins are known to engage in a \u201cpebbling\u201d courtship ritual, in which male penguins present a potential mate with the shiniest pebble they can find. If accepted, they mate for life.)<\/p>\n

In the card, Harry included a mirror selfie from the event, where the newly-engaged couple posed in their penguin suits. We\u2019re obsessed.<\/p>\n
