The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were married in their back garden by the Archbishop of Canterbury three days before their fairytale wedding, the couple revealed in their interview with Oprah Winfrey. That claim soon blew up with everyone trying to fact-check how the church made it possible. Now latest reports reveal that all these claims made by the couple were FALSE.

"I was thinking about it, you know our wedding—three days before our wedding, we got married. No one knows that," Meghan Markle told Oprah during the bombshell CBS interview. "We called the Archbishop and we just said, look, this thing, this spectacle is for the world. But we want our union between us, so the vows that we have framed in our room are just the two of us in our backyard with the Archbishop of Canterbury."

Are Meghan Markle's 'secret wedding' claims true? Internet says early private ceremony couldn't 'have been legal'

In a document revealed by The Sun it has come to light, that Meghan may not have been telling the complete truth. 



 

The copy of the official wedding certificate verifies the actual ceremony did take place on May 19, 2018, at Windsor. The witnesses were Prince Charles and Meghan’s mother Doria Ragland. It states the Sussexes were married according to the “rites and ceremonies of the Established Church” by Special Licence by “Justin Cantuar." The date of March 16, 2021, at the bottom, is the day before The Sun obtained the certificate. The Sun first reached Windsor Register Office, they suggested the outlet contact the General Register Office where all birth, marriage and death certificates are held.

The Sun applied online at the website of the General Register Office and gave the names of the parties, venue and the wedding date. A fee of $58.17 (£42) was paid and the certificate arrived in the post. The certificate "lists Harry as “single” and his occupation as a “Prince of the United Kingdom” and Meghan as “divorced” and an “actor”'. Her dad Thomas Markle is described as a “lighting director” and Charles as a “Prince of the United Kingdom”."

The outlet states: "If what the couple told Oprah was right it follows that the Archbishop, leader of the Church of England, had not only broken the law but then presided over a “fake” royal wedding in the presence of the Queen, who is the titular head of the Church of England."

Rev Mark Edwards, a C of E priest from Newcastle, told the outlet: “When I called Lambeth Palace to ask about this I was told Justin doesn’t do private weddings. Meghan doesn’t understand. But the fact that the Archbishop has not commented publicly needs to be addressed.”
