Seven years on from their Windsor Castle fairytale, Meghan Markle is celebrating her wedding anniversary to Prince Harry with a rare, deeply personal glimpse into their marriage. The Duchess of Sussex took to Instagram to post a photo of a cork board collage filled with never-before-seen images of their relationship.
“Seven years of marriage. A lifetime of stories,” she wrote in the caption, adding, “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! ❤️”
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s Relationship Timeline
The post, shared on Sunday, reads like a visual diary – a timeline of everything that’s led them to now. From their first trips together in Norway and Botswana, to their 2017 engagement, to the grandeur of their 2018 royal wedding, every image on the board tells a chapter of a story the world thought it knew – but really didn’t.
Among the snapshots are more intimate, less-polished moments. A sonogram from Meghan’s pregnancy with Archie. Prince Harry gently holding his newborn son. Meghan smiling as she rests a hand on her baby bump. Then, quiet moments at home – barefoot days in California, a crib shot of Lilibet with Harry nearby, and a Christmas scene showing Archie kissing his baby sister on the forehead.
Meghan’s post comes just weeks after Archie turned six, and days after she shared a touching Mother’s Day message about the joy – and chaos – of parenting. “And to these two gems – who still attempt to climb ‘mama mountain,’ smother me with kisses, and make every day the most memorable adventure… being your mom is the greatest privilege of my life,” she wrote. “I, too, ‘love you more than all the stars in all the sky, all the raindrops, and all the salt on all the french fries in all the world.’”
Though the couple stepped back from royal life in 2020, their family continues to capture public fascination. Meghan’s Instagram, relaunched earlier this year, has become a subtle and selective portal into their new life. And given she has almost 3 million followers, clearly we’re still infatuated by their love story.
