Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have confessed that the secret wedding the Duchess of Sussex described in her bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey did not happen, The Daily Beast reported on Monday.
A spokesperson for the royals told the publication that “the couple exchanged personal vows a few days before their official/legal wedding on May 19.”
Since such a service does not constitute a formal wedding, the royal pair’s secret union was not legitimate, as Markle had told Oprah in the March 7 interview, the website said.
The 39-year-old former “Suits” star said in the footage, “You know, three days before our wedding, we got married. No one knows that. The vows that we have framed in our room are just the two of us in our backyard with the Archbishop of Canterbury.”
The Sun obtained the couple’s marriage license from the General Registrar’s Office on Monday as well which also confirmed that their legal wedding date is May 19.
Speculation that Markle, 39, bent the truth began almost immediately after the sitdown aired.
A UK vicar denied Markle’s claim earlier this month, explaining that the Church of England requires two witnesses for any marriage to be valid and that ceremonies must take place in a “certified place of worship” — neither of which Markle and Prince Harry, 36, abided by.
Markle also found herself in a pickle after internet sleuths found a blog post she wrote in 2014 about the “pomp” surrounding Prince William and Kate Middleton’s 2011 wedding.
In her interview with Winfrey, she denied knowing much about the royal life before meeting her husband.

One of the many lies she told in that interview.
ReplyDelete👍🤜🤛 The truth will always prevail!The black Americans have been racist to me since my sojourn in America.They are so rude and always angry! It is a black American that told me to go back to my country during an argument.I pity Harry!
DeleteHer many more lies will unveil themselves. She is full of manipulations and Harry is so gullible. In as much as I pray for them to find their feet in the midst of their many 'pains', I still believe she is just out to destroy the monarchy for personal glory. Yes she has made an attempt, but will not go far if she does not stop. The same people cherring her on will turn their back on her and she will fall like a pack of cards, while Harry, will always be blue blood.
DeleteThis girl just keeps digging herself into a bigger hole.....always said this thing if your family doesnt like you,ur inlaws dont like u, media same even Kate and William dont seem to like her,perhaps she should check herself. She didnt even have any of her mothers family at her wedding,something is wrong somewhere.
DeleteHarry has had to turn his back on his whole family,his friends,his life and all hes known in the UK...all becos he got married,life shld not be dat way. A woman or man shld not come into ur life and alienate you from everyone and everything you have ever known.
No family is perfect,Royal family has their many issues. But how come she has issues with even William and Kate dat they are all age mates and the brothers bond was so strong before she came in.
Meghan,check urself smthn aint right.
Something that I have been saying since.
DeleteNo matter what happens a woman shouldn't turn her husband's back on his family
His brother who was there for him through all his falls.
Shes a very manipulative woman, "strong woman" my left ass.
@BnR, your comment is the gospel truth. I mean, no man can turn me against my family and friends. These people have long been in my life before you walking into my life so why would i suddenly see them all as evil because of marriage or whatever? Now Harry is becoming everything like Megan. No friends, family and all. I can't deal, it's too toxic. Everyone can't be a hater of Megan if she was such a perfect angel. Now it's been proven that she lied over something as irrelevant and meaningless as this,to what end exactly? Their various businesses though.
DeleteI said it to someone who was ranting I said I understand when you say your in-laws dont like you but also your own family is fighting you even your father, the press ,your former staff all fighting just one woman why??..ah ah ...no one except your mom showed up for wedding ok what about her own family?? nobody ? hmmm
DeleteDont trust anyone that lies. Meghan is becoming pathological with these lies!!!
ReplyDeleteLoud it bro!
DeleteOne of the lies i just hmmm from dat interview, Meghan said she didnt know much about Harry or the Royal Family.
DeleteI mean even us dat date regular ppl google them,much more dating Harry.
Meghan dat visited Buckingham palace as a tourist in her teens, never google dem. If i hear
@Bed and Roses its not even the tourism for me. Its the fact that she said out of her own mouth that she was friends with Eugenie before she met Harry....then turned around and said she knew nothing about the royals. You knew his cousin, but didn't know anything about his family? Okuuuuurrr! I like her, but some of the exaggerations (I don't want to say lies) in the interview were unnecessary. They didn't add anything. Now she doesn't look credible and people are even starting to doubt the Archie colour story.
DeleteMeghan ti gbe was ni handicap... This lady will definitely ruin prince harry
ReplyDeleteOnly gullible and emotional people are trust and support Meghan...some playing the feminist and racist card. Ask yourself, will Meghan go close to Harry if he's just a normal guy and not royal?
ReplyDeleteTrue!Black Americans are also racist. I live with them,I see their attitude.
DeleteGbam!
DeleteRespect our privacy, respect our privacy, all of a sudden, she is there singing like a canary.
Abeg let her carry her package dey go, I dey her bodi!
Meghan is actually the RACIST here. Harry used to be loved and a people's person. But immediately she surfaced and became legal, all manner of rules and regulations for people but inhouse and outside-"look at us, you can wave, but don't come near, dont try to make a conversation, blablabla" Can she every be Diana? Meghan, an intelligent, smart graduate of International Relations claims she had no idea who Harry was? Imagine? Then when she found out who he was and accepted to marry him, she did not bother to research his him, his ex-girlfriends and why they left or the monarchy and their conservative nature? Even me wey never cross Nigeria have all the information how much more someone obssesed with a global figure such as Diana and who wrote about Kate Middleton's wedding. I COMMOT CAP FOR MEGHAN FOR HER FABUUUULOUS LIES.
DeleteWhy do I find it difficult to believe Megan? I don't understand all this interviews to what end? I don't have a good feeling about this lady. She collected money to spew thrash on air about the royal family. If you don't want royalty why marry a prince? She should watch her back ooo! Shit is about to happen.
ReplyDeleteTRUTH! It is ALL about the $$$$.They don't want to be part of the royal but they want the prestige and money that comes with it? Wanting to eat their cake and still have it? Harry thought being a 'commoner' is fun and easy right? After spending his growing years giving orders and being pampered? Reality dawned on him and realized they need money to maintain the same lifestyle. Their book was not a hit! Then threw his family under the bus! And foolish gullible women without emotional intelligence were cussing out people who refused to join the bandwagon of lies!
DeleteAre you minding her NK?
DeleteThat lady sef!
Very complicated lady.
She is doing herself thinking that she is doing the Royal family.
Leave her, she doesn't know what she is up against. She thinks the royals are money hungry Americans who can sell their father and children for morsel of food. She shot herself in the leg and I trust the Firm to handle this 'private.' She will not die like Diana, but she go dey this world dey feel the 'life.' How can one person just seperate two loving brothers? Even Kate could not come better the two brothers having been in their lives for so long even before she married the elder one. In less than 2 years, Adaleru has succeeded. Meghan, is no good and just like pregnancy, she cannot hide who she is for so long.
DeleteLori iro upandan!! Oprah has been Markled. Ntooooor
ReplyDeleteLol. Oprah the busy body.
DeleteLovelace
Oprah was only doing business ooooo, wetin concern her 🤷🏾♀️.
DeleteThe shame is on Prince Harry, he should continue 🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴🤷🏾♀️.
Wonder what else she's lying about.
ReplyDeleteSo much MORE, for sure!
DeleteLiar!
ReplyDeleteWe know she tell lies but now, she named herself an OFFICIAL LIAR
ReplyDeleteI kid you not.
DeleteThis their matter don tire me.
ReplyDeleteMe sef
DeleteIf I understand this write up, the validity of their small ceremony is what is being questioned. How does it make it a lie that it actually happened. Y’all should leave these people alone.
ReplyDeleteThe validity of the word 'married' was questioned and found to be a big lie.
DeleteWhy put out a statement when you know it can be contested and certified not true. Was the small ceremony official..
DeleteLovelace
She could have put the Archbishop of Canterbury in trouble and thorough investigation.
DeleteWhy does she keep dragging innocent people into her issues.
Another staff of hers has stepped down yesterday. She needs to watch it, too much.
13:55 thank you
DeleteThey are just desperate to nail her here
I am reading comments and wondering if we all read thesame thing
Okay, I didn’t read anywhere where they admitted that the secret wedding never happened. If anything, I believe that they had a private exchange of vows at the garden and it’s not her fault if the English doesn’t acknowledge that cos in the US it is legal.
ReplyDeleteMy only irk with Meghan is this need to overshare about everything that she previously hold private.
Perx, you are so open minded and I luv it!
DeleteLike, she didn't lie now, did she?
People really do not know how maniputive these UK/US media can be.
If they want to destroy people, they start with discrediting them online.
If you actually watched or read the news about the interview you will know that she actually said that she had her wedding the previous day with Harry and the Bishop present. They didn't even exchange vows on the said evening. Meghan na ihe o na eme ma ihe na eme ya ka omaghi
DeletePeople like perxian never gets it, what constitutes a marriage anywhere in the world? Bride and groom and two witnesses each from the pair, was there a witness on the said date She spoke about? No, how can that be a marriage when there are no witnesses? More so she said she never googled or knew about Harry prior to meeting him? This is a lady who blogs, blogging is all about aggregating a wealth of information to your audience,you have to be well informed to be a blogger, it’s like saying Stella doesn’t know about the royals just because..... you mean to tell us a lady who blogs won’t know about a world shaking event like prince William’s wedding in 2011? My own take is she meant to tell the world the wedding we all witnessed doesn’t really count much, to her what counts was the one prior in the garden which a wedding certificate wasn’t issued, Meghan knows better but chooses not to do better
DeleteSo the person that held the private exchange between them in their backyard is not a witness? Like I said, she took whatever they exchanged there as a Union. I’m sure she understands that their known and valid marriage was on the day of the royal wedding but she wants that backyard union just for them cos it’s intimate so where’s the lie?
DeleteShe actually blogged about Prince Williams Royal wedding, how can you even say she claimed she doesn’t know Harry? She said she didn’t know much about the Royal Family.
Whatever mahn, don’t stress me. 15:17
Perxian, you really get what is going on, she said a wedding held and they exchanged vows which they did, it has been claimed that that marriage wasn’t valid, not that it did not hold, why brand her a liar?
DeleteShe blogged about Kate and William’s wedding means she was stalking Harry for years, may they not drive this woman over the edge, I’ll keep rooting forher
I insist women like Meghan, Perxian et al are enablers. They know better but choose not to do better.Until women choose to do better, then the world will be a much better place. How could a woman comes into a family and choose to disrupt everything they ever worked for. There is a Meghan in all women world over, they know better but choose to do otherwise, just because they can. Ain’t stressing you out Perx, just speaking the truth, much love and stay true Sister
Delete@Perxian, please only say what you know for a fact!
DeleteHaving an exchange of vows, be it in the backyard or on a beach or elsewhere, does not constitute a legal wedding/marriage ceremony in the US.
There are steps that need to be done first, like obtaining a marriage license and having witnesses present on the day. Even to obtain the license, both the bride and groom need to go together. They also have 90 days to hold their ceremony. If the time laspes, they must go and get an official extension! After the ceremony, the couple must file the documentation to the appropriate authority, within a certain timeframe or the marriage will be null and void.
Eddie Murphy and Babyface's ex wife did a whole beach wedding years ago. It was even featured in several publications like People Magazine etc...YET when they split later, they simply went their way because it was not legally recognized, despite the pomp!
A witness is any other person (depending on how many witnesses are required) order than the officiating official. So the person that held the private exchange in their backyard could not have been a witness.
DeletePerxian You deserve a cold bottle of champagne..In life, have an open mind to everything until you have the true facts
DeletePerxian, are you arguing to be right or arguing to improve your knowledge? It is acceptable in Nigeria to marry multiple wives but can i go to the US and say i'm marrying many wives because i am Nigerian? The pastor that weds you does not count as a witness anywhere in the world. Abi did you ever see any officiating minister also signing as a witness in a wedding. Please lets argue to expand our knowledge not just show obstinate ignorance.
DeleteLollll....she was trying to "romanticize" the whole thing so we can Awwww and ohhhhh and show how they are so in love and committed to eachother,dat they had exchange of vows without the pomp and pagentry,unfortunately it backfired.
DeleteI DONT THINK SHE LIED however,but whatever they exchanged wasnt legal just more of committing themselves.
I dont hate Meghan,i wont just like if my brother marries her type and he turns his back on his family especially us siblings dat have a tight bond. There is just smthn abt Meghan. I feel so sorry for Harry,hes no longer dat happy carefree guy.
Lol. Meghan o I pray royal family doesn't hunt you dead
ReplyDeleteI've always known that she's a big time liar. She is just looking for a major clout. I feel so sorry for Harry, he married a Yoko Ono.
ReplyDeleteAll pack of lies. Manipulator Meghan. Never believed anything that came out of her mouth.
ReplyDeleteExchange of Vows
ReplyDeletePlease where can I even watch the full interview?
ReplyDeleteYouTube.
DeleteBTW,Meghan is a big liar.
She just validated what Piers Morgan has been saying about her.
Dstv did the interview already the 2nd day it came out on Channel 101, MNet. Not sure of the repeat date. Google it
DeleteAny family that has gone through a break because of a wife will understand the pain of what Meghan is doing in the royal family.Money is not the issue here but power!She is the wife of the second son,so she does not have any important role to play in the royal family like the other children of the queen. She did not want to accept that because just like the average American they are self-delusional that they know everything and they are the best and destroy what they cannot have.
ReplyDeleteHarry better be careful because once narcissists finish dealing with outsiders, they turn on their own. Meghan go still tell us 'All About Harry.' I pray he is well protected.
ReplyDeleteLol
DeleteHmmmm
Deletehmm..is this a fact ?? I mean about narcissist?
DeleteYes it is a fact @ 19.16
DeleteThe narcissist only cares about themself. You are only important as long as you’re helping them achieve certain ‘goals’. As soon as you’re no longer useful to them, they turn on you
I have been saying it. The royal family not saints but Meghan e dey her body. As I have said before the joke is on people breaking neck for someone who know even want to be identified as dudu loool. Se no be akata people again? When something no work them way them go take life tire you. Person wey dey follow avatar play dem on him or her own.
ReplyDeleteHer own good shall
ReplyDeleteMehn, The way I was cussed out by black American women last week on Instagram. I commented that I had read Meghan’s blog before she took it down and I was sensing that Meghan was jealous of Kate because of how negative she blogged about Kate when Kate got married in 2011 and when Kate gave birth. Of course I was branded an African slave and all that crap. Meghan doesn’t even claim black but black American women are so desperate to claim her because I think they want to seen through that lens. Anyway, I knew it was a lie from the look on Harry’s face and his demeanor when she said it. There was so much information about Meghan online before the Royals scrubbed the dirt off line...including Meghan’s mother going to jail for tax fraud—she defrauded the government by not paying taxes on the travel agency business she owned that Meghan’s dad bought for her when he won the lottery. All those records were available online before.
ReplyDeleteMeghan is a mean crap filled piece of work
