London – Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan were not married three days before their wedding, says the former chief secretary of the Faculty Office who drafted their license.
The former ‘Suits’ actress told Oprah Winfrey that she and her husband were married in her garden to the Archbishop of Canterbury a few days before their formal wedding at Windsor Castle on May 19, 2018, but her certificate of marriage, obtained by The Sun newspaper from the General Registry Office – confirms that their wedding took place at the same time it was publicized to the world.
Stephen Borton, former chief secretary of the Faculty Office, who drafted the license, said: “I’m sorry, but Meghan is obviously confused and clearly misinformed. They didn’t get married three days before in front of the Archbishop of Canterbury.”
“The special license I helped draft allowed them to get married at St George’s Chapel in Windsor and what happened there on May 19, 2018 and was seen by millions around the world was the official wedding recognized by the Church of England and the law.
“What I suspect they did was exchange some simple vows that perhaps they had written themselves, and that is fashionable, and said it in front of the Archbishop, or, more likely, it was a simple rehearsal.
In the interview with Oprah, Duchess Meghan claimed that they were privately married just days before the formal ceremony, which millions tuned in to watch.
She explained, “Three days before our wedding, we were married. Nobody knows. We called the Archbishop and said ‘Look, this, this show is for the world, but we want our union with each other.’ So the vows we have in our room are just the two of us in our backyard with the Archbishop of Canterbury. “
And Meghan admitted that she was having an “out-of-body experience” that day.
She added: “I’ve thought about this a lot because it was like having an out-of-body experience where I was very present. That’s the only way I can describe it because I slept through the night last night, which in and of itself is a miracle. And then I woke up and started listening to that song ‘Going to the Chapel’. And I just tried to make it fun and light and remind ourselves that this was our day, but I think we were both really aware, even before that just wasn’t our day. This was the day that was planned for the world. “
