Meghan Claimed to Have Tied Knot With Harry in Kensington Palace

Meghan, during the interview, claimed that she and Harry secretly got married in the backyard of Kensington Palace in the presence of Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby, just three days before to their spectacular wedding.

"I was thinking about it, you know our wedding—three days before our wedding, we got married. No one knows that," Meghan Markle told Oprah. "We called the Archbishop and we just said, look, this thing, this spectacle is for the world. But we want our union between us, so the vows that we have framed in our room are just the two of us in our backyard with the Archbishop of Canterbury," she had added.

Speaking to the Daily Mail, Rev Mark Edwards, the vicar at St Matthew's Church in Dinnington, and St Cuthbert's Church, claimed that the real wedding took place on the actual date and not beforehand, as was being claimed by the Duchess. Rev Edwards said that he was informed by a Lambeth Palace staff member that, 'Justin does not do private weddings. Meghan is an American, she does not understand'.
