Two days after Prince Harry and Meghan Markle exchanged vows in a beautiful ceremony, their official wedding photos were released by the palace on Monday. Three images of the newlyweds along with other members of the royal family were shared on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook pages of the Royal Family and Kensington Palace. Photographed on the day of the royal wedding following the carriage procession, the beautiful images were captured by Alexi Lubomirski, who also took their engagement photos.

While the first photo released by the palace includes family members of the couple, the second one is with the bridesmaids and pageboys and the third one is a candid photo of the newlyweds.

The first official photo includes — the Queen, Elizabeth II, Duke of Edinburgh, Prince of Wales, Duchess of Cornwall, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, Prince George and Princess Charlotte. Taken in The Green Drawing Room of the Windsor Castle, it also includes Doria Ragland, Markle’s mother and only one from the bride’s side who attended the wedding.

And last but not the least is the stunning black-and-white portrait of the Duchess and Duke of Sussex sitting on the East Terrace of the Windsor Castle. The breathtaking photo of the couple sharing a light moment gives the same romantic vibe captured during their engagement photoshoot taken on the steps of Frogmore House. The Duchess, seen here, sans here elaborative veil, that had references to 53 commonwealth nations, is seen holding her wedding bouquet, as her husband could stop grinning.
