Six years ago, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex exchanged vows in a spectacular ceremony at St George's Chapel in Windsor Castle. On May 19, 2018, millions around the globe watched the royal and his American bride embark on their new journey together.
However, as Meghan Markle and Prince Harry celebrated their sixth wedding anniversary yesterday, the day was marked by a poignant silence. There was no public acknowledgment from the Royal Family, a stark contrast to the global fanfare that once surrounded their union.
Despite the couple's milestone, the former working royals chose not to issue a statement, and the Royal Family also remained conspicuously silent. Not a single member of the family publicly recognized the occasion, a move that surely stung.
This year, Meghan and Harry opted for a private celebration, with no social media tributes from their side. Buckingham Palace, Kensington Palace, and other royal members similarly refrained from marking the anniversary.
King Charles and Prince William also chose not to share any public memories or tributes from the event, adding to the palpable sense of isolation the couple has felt since stepping back from royal duties in 2020.
Back in 2018, their grand wedding culminated in a lavish reception hosted by then-Prince Charles at Frogmore House. Yet, six years later, the echo of that joyous day contrasts sharply with the silence that now surrounds them.
