The ceremony
Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby presided over the ceremony.
Collectively all of those gathered in St. George’s Chapel vowed to support the new royal couple, before Welby gave a prayer.
Lady Jane Fellowes, the sister of Harry’s late mother Princess Diana, then gave a reading of “The Song of Solomon.”
Presiding Bishop of the American Episcopalian Church Michael Curry then delivered an address, quoting Martin Luther King Jr., on “the power of love.”
“Don’t under estimate it,” he told those gathered in the chapel.
After his reading, Karen Gibson and the Kingdom Choir gave a rendition of the pop classic “Stand by Me.”
Welby then had Prince Harry and Meghan Markle exchange their marriage vows, followed by the exchange of rings.
Meghan’s ring is made of extremely rare Welsh gold, in line with long-standing royal tradition. Harry’s is platinum.
“I therefore proclaim that they are husband and wife,” came Welby’s declaration following the exchange of rings.
The couple then disappeared behind closed doors while their parents and others signed an official wedding register.
When they emerged again, following a cello performance by 19-year-old Briton, Sheku Kanneh-Mason, the entire chapel belted out God Save the Queen, as her majesty looked on with her trademark stoicism.
