Royal entrances, the exchanging of vows and an emotional tear. These are the best moments from Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s wedding.
The first official photographs of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, now the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, were released Monday following the pair's royal wedding.

A Kensington Palace spokesperson said, "The Duke and Duchess of Sussex would like to thank everyone who took part in the celebrations of their wedding on Saturday. They feel so lucky to have been able to share their day with all those gathered in Windsor and also all those who watched the wedding on television across the UK, Commonwealth, and around the world."
