Harry And Meghan Wed At St George's Chapel In Windsor In An Extraordinary Star-Studded, Multi-Cultural Ceremony, The Likes Of Which The Royals Have Never Seen

Royal wedding: Harry and Meghan exchange rings as they marry at St George's Chapel
Meghan Markle has married Prince Harry in a moving and modern service that saw the newlyweds sharing tears, laughter and a passionate kiss in front of their thousands of adoring guests (main picture). Harry looked delighted as he walked his new wife out of St George's Chapel (right) but had been visibly emotional when he saw his bride for the first time in her simple but 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. 

But the tears turned to laughter when the star made him giggle as they exchanged vows before being pronounced man and wife by the Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby as millions watched around the world. And on the steps of the chapel Meghan asked her new husband discreetly: 'Do we kiss?' and Harry whispered 'yeah' before planting one passionately on her lips. Celebrity royalty including the Clooneys, the Beckhams, Idris Elba, Elton John and Oprah Winfrey watched them marry. Britain's royals including the Queen and Prince Philip were also there to support them.

Meghan Markle has launched her own mini-revolution as she married Prince Harry today in a multi-cultural and US-influenced wedding the likes of which Britain's royals and the millions watching have never seen before.

The newlyweds shared tears, laughter and a passionate kiss in front of their hundreds of VIP guests dominated by Hollywood stars including the Clooneys, the Beckhams, Idris Elba, Oprah Winfrey, Tom Hardy and James Corden. 

Elton John, who sang at Princess Diana's funeral in 1997, performed at the lunchtime reception hosted by the Queen in a poignant nod to Harry's late mother. 

All the senior British royals were also there to support the couple including Her Majesty, Prince Philip, Harry's best man Prince William and his wife Kate, who brought George and Charlotte but left baby Louis with the nanny.

Today Meghan became the first mixed-race member of the royal family in an extraordinary journey for a girl born in LA to a white father and African-American mother who fought her way through the tough world of showbusiness to land a plum role in the TV series Suits.

Harry and Meghan's big day couldn't have been more different than royal weddings of the past, especially because the prince was visibly emotional throughout - and guests suggested it was the most diverse major event in the Queen's 66-year reign.  

The prince had looked tearful when he saw his bride for the first time, grabbing her hand telling her: 'You look amazing - I missed you' before tenderly lifting her veil.

The new Duke of Sussex also said 'thank you, pa' after his father Prince Charles walked the now Duchess of Sussex down the aisle of St George's Chapel, Windsor, having stepped in at the last moment for Meghan's father Thomas. 

The former actress, 36, managed to make a tearful Harry giggle as they exchanged vows before being pronounced man and wife by the Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby.  

Despite being an Anglican church service it had a distinctly American feel with a US bishop delivering a passionate address that appeared to make some royals snigger and a gospel choir filling the chapel with music from Ben E. King and Etta James.

But there was also much of the great British pageantry that royal fans around the world love - all set in the fairy tale surroundings of Windsor Castle on a stunning May spring day. 

Meghan chose acclaimed British designer, Clare Waight Keller - the first female Artistic Director at the historic French fashion house Givenchy - to design her dress. She also wore a Queen Mary diamond bandeau tiara, loaned to her by the Queen.
