Meghan Markle posts 24 unseen photos for anniversary
Meghan Markle has marked her eighth wedding anniversary with Prince Harry by sharing a collection of behind-the-scenes images from their 2018 ceremony at St George’s Chapel, Windsor Castle. The post, shared this week, included 24 photographs and offered new glimpses of moments from the day that were largely kept private at the time.
The Mirror reported that former BBC royal correspondent Ms Jennie Bond said the Duchess of Sussex’s decision to publish the images was another example of her “taking control of her own publicity”, noting that strict rules around photography and secrecy surrounded the celebrations on the day itself.
Ms Bond suggested the shift reflects Meghan’s growing social-media presence and the way public interest can feed into wider commercial plans, while stressing that the absence of other senior royals in the photographs should not be interpreted as a comment on family relationships. The royal commentator said she believed the decision to avoid showing other members of the Royal Family was more likely a matter of privacy and respect.
The anniversary images also prompted renewed discussion about how the Duchess presents her private life online, echoing recent coverage in which her anniversary posts were seen as part of a wider rebrand conversation around her public profile.
The images were shared as the Duke and Duchess continue to attract scrutiny over online safety and privacy, themes both have highlighted in public appearances. For Meghan, the latest post underlines the balancing act between protecting family life and using personal storytelling to shape her public narrative.
