It has happened - Meghan Markle has married Prince Harry and the world now has Duke and Duchess of Sussex. And while their beautiful ceremony takes the icing and the cake, there have been some awkward moments during the ceremony, you probably didn’t catch, as you were too mesmerized by the glorious beauty of it all.
For instance, are you aware that their very famous wedding guest Oprah had a situation with her dress? Or that Harry broke some major protocols during his wedding? Also, Harry’s exes made for quite fascinating show-stealers. So, let’s have a look at some of the most attention-worthy moments from the Royal wedding.
During the Reverend’s beautiful and long speech at the Royal wedding which made major headlines by the way, Kate Middleton was seen throwing some possible shade. Kate gave a side-eye glance to her mum-in-law Camilla, as they were seated together. People assume her side-eye might have been in mockery. Or it might just have been that Kate was trying to get through it.

We know a Royal wedding can be very long and quite tedious, but that’s no excuse to fall asleep. It’s the event of the decade, for god’s sake! Guests at the wedding were pictured dozing off during the ceremony, as time went by. In fact, some people looked rather impatient to just get on with it.

Prince Harry was the show-stealer at his own wedding, but he also broke some protocols while at it. For instance, he turned to look at Meghan Markle as she was walking down the aisle with his father Prince Charles. This is not something Prince William did, as according to the royal tradition, the groom can’t look at the bride until she has reached the altar.

A Royal couple usually swears off all kinds of PDA and Prince William and Kate obviously follow that policy. And on their wedding day especially, nobody expects them to be cheeky. But Harry and Meghan were seen playing with each other’s hands during the ceremony. This is something the Internet obviously noticed and made quite a lot of memes out of it.

A lot of people call Princess Charlotte a blonde doppelganger of her uncle Harry, and the Royal wedding was just proof of that. As she was arriving at the venue, Charlotte was seen pulling off some funny faces from her car, just like Harry would do at times, when he was a kid.

The exquisite Jaguar in which Harry and Meghan left for their wedding reception, had very memorable number plates, which was obviously intentional. The numbers on the plate said 190518, which stands for May 19, 2018, the date of the Royal wedding.

It is unusual for anyone else to wear white on a wedding day, except the bride. This is actually a rule which is followed the world over for Christian weddings. But Kate Middleton shocked us all when she walked in, wearing white to Meghan Markle’s wedding. Her choice of outfit was actually criticised by people, as some pegged it to be an intentional move.

We know how much Kate Middleton likes to recycle clothes but re-wearing her old number for the big Royal wedding was a bit too much. It was as if she wasn’t even trying. Do you know the dress she wore to Harry and Meghan’s wedding is actually something she had worn at least twice before? At Princess Charlotte’s Christening and the Queen’s birthday.

Meghan’s mum Doria did not have a date for her daughter’s wedding, but Prince Charles was a fabulous companion to her. Meghan’s father-in-law and Doria seem to have struck up quite a friendship as they were seen chatting with each other like old friends. It was also very nice of Charles to keep Doria company in what could only have been a stressful day for her.

The Kensington Palace’s official site released an order of the wedding service but made a major blunder in it. The bride usually walks the alter with her father as per tradition, but Meghan walked down the aisle with Prince Charles, as her own dad was recovering from a heart attack. But the royal statement says wrongly that Meghan was accompanied by her father Thomas Markle.

Harry famously invited both his famous exes, Cressida Bonas and Chelsy Davy to his wedding, but they were reportedly not invited to the reception. Moreover Chelsy looked like she wasn’t processing the wedding all that well, going by her expressions. Needless to say, her royal wedding face is now on every meme.

Duchess Sarah Ferguson was invited to the wedding but was seated far from her ex-husbands and daughters, owing to her bitter relationship with the Royals. In fact, people didn’t even know if she would be invited considering that she was not a part of William and Kate’s wedding.

It was revealed that during the reception, Meghan Markle danced with George Clooney and had quite a lot of fun. But George was snubbed by Sarah Ferguson when he asked her if he could dance with her. Awkward!

Oprah wore a pastel pink dress to the Royal wedding but her choice was something else entirely. She had initially chosen something which would come out as white in photographs. And wearing white is a strict no-no at somebody else’s wedding. Which is why designer Stella McCartney and her team had to work overnight to get her new dress ready in time.

While some claimed that Meghan Markle’s wedding dress was just too boring, Katy Perry voiced her opinions very bluntly. Though she was not invited to the wedding, she said that Meghan looked beautiful but she could have used another fitting with the dress.
