To mark the occasion, the <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/entertainment\/celebrity\/articles\/meghan-markle-wanted-share-message-203338954.html\" data-ylk=\"elm:link;elmt:article_link;slk:Duchess of Sussex;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;Duchess of Sussex&quot;}\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\">Duchess of Sussex<\/a> shared 24 images from their 2018 ceremony held at St George\u2019s Chapel in Windsor Castle. By sharing the behind-the-scenes moments from <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/meghan\/p\/DYgtZzDnN6O\/?hl=en\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"elm:link;elmt:article_link;slk:their big day;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;their big day&quot;}\" class=\"link \">their big day<\/a>, Jennie Bond thinks that Meghan is now taking things under control.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cI suppose this is another example of Meghan taking control of her own publicity, and there\u2019s nothing wrong with that,\u201d Bond told the <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mirror.co.uk\/news\/royals\/meghan-markle-harry-control-wedding-37187431\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"elm:link;elmt:article_link;slk:Mirror;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;Mirror&quot;}\" class=\"link \">Mirror<\/a>. She added that no guests were allowed to take photos of their wedding or reception.\u00a0However, things seem to have changed in eight years. Meghan now frequently shares about her private life on social media. Since people are interested in the Duchess\u2019s private life, Bond thinks that it \u201cfeeds into her business plans and her brand.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">While the former actress has posted many pictures from her wedding day, none of them featured the Royal Family. The expert\u00a0believes that this \u201cis out of respect for their privacy.\u201d \u201cI don\u2019t think we should draw any conclusions about the state of their relationship from the fact that they are not included in the pictures,\u201d Bond noted.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Harry and Meghan exchanged vows in a fairytale royal wedding at Windsor Castle chapel in 2018. Queen Elizabeth, Prince Philip, the future King Charles, Prince William, and Kate Middleton attended the wedding. Other members of the royal family were also present. On that day, the late\u00a0Queen bestowed the newlyweds with the royal titles of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. The two retain the titles even after stepping back from their royal duties in 2020.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><em>Originally reported by Parul Singh on <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.realitytea.com\/2026\/05\/25\/meghan-markle-taking-control-prince-harry-marriage-photos\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"elm:link;elmt:article_link;slk:Reality Tea;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;Reality Tea&quot;}\" class=\"link \">Reality Tea<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The post <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mandatory.com\/news\/1779232-meghan-markle-taking-control-prince-harry-marriage-photos\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"elm:link;elmt:article_link;slk:Meghan Markle \u2018Taking Control\u2019 8 Years After Prince Harry Marriage \u2014 Expert;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;Meghan Markle \u2018Taking Control\u2019 8 Years After Prince Harry Marriage \u2014 Expert&quot;}\" class=\"link \">Meghan Markle \u2018Taking Control\u2019 8 Years After Prince Harry Marriage \u2014 Expert<\/a> appeared first on <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mandatory.com\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"elm:link;elmt:article_link;slk:Mandatory;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;Mandatory&quot;}\" class=\"link \">Mandatory<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.yahoo.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Meghan Markle recently shared her wedding photos on Instagram to mark her eighth wedding anniversary with Prince Harry.
