Photos of Meghan and Harry’s ‘secret’ ceremony with the Archbishop of Canterbury three days before their Royal Wedding have been revealed.
In the bombshell interview with Oprah, Meghan said that Archbishop Justin Welby allowed them a ‘secret service’ in their backyard.
Welby has since denied giving the couple a full wedding.
The Sun then shared photos of how Welby dressed up as Elvis as the Duke and Duchess exchanged their vows during the ‘bizarre’ ceremony.
According to the news outlet, the photos were taken by a palace aide, who has asked not to be named.
“It was such a beautiful moment – but also, I think, a little bizarre,” the Kensington Palace staff said. “Meghan and Harry were wearing normal clothes but standing close together while the Archbishop was in full Church regalia and speaking quietly to them.”
The aide, who no longer works at the palace, continued: “There was no one else around and it was so quiet. All you could hear at first was a chicken pecking the ground nearby.
“I crept closer and could hear them exchanging vows like at a wedding ceremony.
“Meghan pledged to love and honour. And then Harry vowed to obey.”
The aide reportedly said that after the couple exchanged their vows, the Archbishop took off his mitre and revealed his sideburns and quiff.
“That’s when I got my phone out and took the picture. I just wish I had shot a video,” the aide said. “Mr Welby was singing all these Presley songs — I Can’t Help Falling In Love, Love Me Tender and It’s Now Or Never.
“Then Meghan asked him to play her favourite: Suspicious Minds. The Archbishop was great. He could make a good living as an Elvis impersonator when he hangs up his crook.
“At the end of the last song he muttered in a deep voice, ‘Thank you very much’, and walked off.”
Royal expert Avril Lefou believes that the former royal aide was the only person who saw the secret ceremony.
“People have accused poor Meghan of using the Oprah interview to make up these things. But she was there and it appears it definitely, definitely happened,” she said.
