Newlyweds Harry and Meghan marry at St George’s Chapel in Windsor

The pair tied the knot with a groundbreaking modern ceremony complete with a gospel choir and eccentric American priest.

The 33-year-old royal had been overcome with emotion at the sight of his bride – telling Meghan “you look amazing” as the couple met at the altar today.

Meghan Markle has married Prince Harry in a moving service that saw the newlyweds sharing tears and laughter.

Harry was visibly emotional when he saw her in a beautiful pure white dress and then grabbed his bride’s hand and told her: ‘You look amazing – I missed you’.

He also said ‘thank you, pa’ after his father Prince Charles walked her down the aisle of St George’s Chapel, Windsor.

But the tears turned to laughter when the star made him giggle as they exchanged vows in the extraordinarily moving ceremony watched by millions around the world.

Celebrity royalty including the Clooneys, the Beckhams, Idris Elba, Elton John and Oprah Winfrey are among some of the world’s biggest stars watching them marry.

Outside St George’s Chapel up to 100,000 fevered well-wishers have gathered in glorious British sunshine to cheer the couple as they start their new married life.

It is expected to be the biggest royal wedding in Britain since Prince William married Kate in 2011 with more than 21million UK households set to watch and 23million expected to tune in from America.
