Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have finally corrected their claims two weeks after a tell-all interview with Oprah.
The couple admitted that they did not tie the knot three days before their Royal wedding after an official marriage certificate revealed that they got married on May 19, 2018, at Windsor Castle.
During the bombshell interview, the Duchess of Sussex said that she and Harry were married by the Archbishop of Canterbury three days before their lavish Royal nuptials.
“You know, three days before our wedding, we got married,” Meghan told Oprah. “No one knows that.”
But the General Register Office has revealed Meghan and Harry’s wedding certificate and proved that they got married on May 19, 2018, at Windsor Castle.
“They did not marry three days earlier in front of the Archbishop of Canterbury,” Stephen Borton, former chief clerk at the Faculty Office, said as per The Sun.
“The Special Licence I helped draw up enabled them to marry at St George’s Chapel in Windsor and what happened there on 19 May 2018 and was seen by millions around the world was the official wedding as recognised by the Church of England and the law.”
He continued: “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.”
A spokesperson for Meghan and Harry has confirmed to The Sun that their backyard ceremony three days before their Royal wedding was not a marriage.
The couple had “privately exchanged personal vows a few days before their official/legal wedding on May 19,” the spokesperson said.
