As the Duke and Duchess of Sussex celebrated their seventh wedding anniversary this week, fans were treated to a series of intimate photos shared by Meghan Markle, offering a rare glimpse into the couple’s love story and private moments from their wedding day.
Among the heartfelt images, one photo in particular has resurfaced and captured the attention of royal watchers—a touching black-and-white snapshot of King Charles, then the Prince of Wales, kissing Meghan Markle on her wedding day.
In the candid image, a radiant Meghan stands in her bridal gown, surrounded by loved ones, as her father-in-law leans in to offer a warm and affectionate kiss. The moment, previously featured in the couple’s 2022 Netflix docuseries, highlights the meaningful bond between Meghan and King Charles.
A Father-in-Law’s Support
The photo holds deeper significance, especially in light of Meghan’s comments from the documentary.
She revealed why she asked Charles to walk her down the aisle in the absence of her own father: “Harry’s dad is very charming, and I said to him: ‘I’ve lost my dad in this, so him as my father-in-law was really important to me.’ So I asked him to walk me down the aisle, and he said yes.”
The image has once again resonated with fans, symbolizing the warmth and support Meghan received from Charles during a pivotal moment in her life.
Celebrating Seven Years of Marriage
To mark their milestone anniversary, Meghan shared a photo of a memory board on Instagram, filled with personal snapshots from their relationship. The board included images of their wedding, travels, and family life—featuring sweet photos of their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.
One standout image shows Archie as a newborn being cradled by Harry, another shows a baby scan labeled “Archie,” and a tender photo captures Archie planting a kiss on Lilibet’s forehead. At the center of the collage was a handwritten note from Meghan reading: “Our love story.”
In her message, Meghan wrote: “Seven years of marriage. A lifetime of stories.
Thanks to all of you (whether by our side, or from afar) who have loved and supported us throughout our love story—we appreciate you. Happy anniversary!”
As the couple reflect on seven years together, the resurfaced photo of Charles and Meghan serves as a poignant reminder of the human connections that have shaped their journey.
