‘Urgent warning’ Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s 2018 wedding was a global event, drawing in celebrities, royals, and millions of viewers. Despite Meghan’s prior fame as an actress, the intense spotlight in the lead-up to the royal wedding became overwhelming for the couple. According to author Tina Brown, the preparations were chaotic, described by insiders as constantly dramatic and demanding. To prevent leaks and maintain privacy during the ceremony, security reportedly warned guests to be cautious about their conversations, noting that cameras could pick up lip movements. Photographer Alexi Lubomirski explained that guests often covered their mouths while speaking to avoid being lip-read.

Although the event itself went smoothly, reports of behind-the-scenes tension emerged. Meghan later told Oprah Winfrey that she was deeply hurt by a pre-wedding incident involving Princess Kate, where a disagreement about Princess Charlotte’s dress left her in tears. Meghan clarified that she was wrongly blamed and felt unsupported despite others knowing the truth. While strict measures kept the ceremony private, the emotional strain and internal conflicts leading up to and following the wedding eventually contributed to the couple’s decision to leave royal life and move to the U.S. with their children, Archie and Lilibet.
