Prince Harry and Meghan Markle commemorated their eighth wedding anniversary by sharing a collection of photos from their 2018 wedding day. Meghan uploaded 24 images on social media, offering fans a behind-the-scenes look at the previously secretive event held at St George’s Chapel in Windsor Castle.

Jennie Bond, a former BBC royal correspondent, noted that Meghan’s act of sharing these photos signifies her reclaiming of the royal wedding in her own way. Bond mentioned that Meghan’s increased social media presence and influencer status may have prompted her to unveil aspects of her past royal life that were once shielded from the public eye.

Despite Meghan showcasing 24 wedding photos on Instagram, only King Charles III from the Royal Family made an appearance, albeit with his back turned in one of the images. Bond suggested that Meghan’s decision not to include other senior royals in the photos could be out of respect for their privacy rather than implying any strained relationships.

Shortly after delivering a speech in Switzerland about online safety for children, Meghan also shared glimpses of her daughter Lilibet in obscured photos and videos. Bond defended Meghan’s online sharing habits, stating that it aligns with the contemporary trend of self-promotion and brand development.

Acknowledging the irony of advocating for online protection while actively sharing personal details online, Bond highlighted that Meghan’s actions reflect the current norms of digital engagement and branding strategies embraced by many individuals.

The article concluded with an invitation to join a Royal WhatsApp group for exclusive royal updates and promotions, along with an offer to subscribe to the Mirror’s Royal newsletter for the latest royal news and images.
