They have since gone on to welcome their first child, Archie, who is almost two, and are expecting a daughter later this year. Time really does fly!
However, ahead of the big day, the Queen was reportedly surprised by Meghan Markle’s wedding dress choice.

Why was the Queen surprised by Meghan Markle's choice of wedding dress?
According to the Daily Mail, the monarch “expressed surprise” that Meghan chose a white gown for her wedding day, as she had been married before. As she was a divorcée, the Queen may have expected the bride to wear another neutral color instead of the traditional white.
Meghan Markle's first marriage to producer Trevor Engelson in 2011 lasted two years after they tied the knot. The ex-couple dated for six years before their nuptials.
For her wedding to Prince Harry the Duchess wore an elegant, white sleeved gown by Clare Waight Keller for Givenchy, later changing into a halterneck number by Stella McCartney for her evening reception.
While the color of the dress may have been a surprise initially, it clearly wasn't too much of an issue as the Queen is said to have the final say all royal wedding dresses.
We're sure you'll agree that the Duchess of Sussex looked stunning either way!
