In a bombshell confession that’s set to reignite royal wedding furor, veteran royal photographer Arthur Edwards has confirmed decades-old rumors that Meghan Markle invited her ex-boyfriend to her 2018 wedding to Prince Harry, prompting the groom to seethe through the entire ceremony.
Edwards, who reported on the event for The Sun, dropped the tea in a recent interview, causing shock waves through palace circles and social media.
The Windsor Castle nuptials—of which the 85-year-old photographer had decades of insider access—were “tense from the start,” he said.
For Edwards, Meghan’s choice to have her ex attend the ceremony added an odd undercurrent, with Harry allegedly “striding through the vows seething with anger.”
“Harry just looked at him. He was livid, really pissed off; he was holding back,” Edwards recalled. “It was a fairy tale, but this invitation turned it into a nightmare.
The announcement has sparked an online firestorm, with #HarryWeddingRage trending across X. Critics blasted her as being “insensitive” and claimed the move lacked respect for Harry’s feelings on their big day.
“She knew that would hurt him—pure drama queen,” one user lashed. It’s tabloid fodder, according to supporters, who argue that Edwards is just trying to win attention. “Harry wasn’t angry about an ex; he was angry with the media circus,” one defender wrote.
Palace insiders explain the news could drive the Sussexes even further apart from the royal family, as their relationship is already on thin ice after Megxit and tell-all books.
Meghan’s people haven’t responded, though sources say she is “pissed off” that old gossip is dredged up. As Harry pushes his new projects, their marriage narrative will forever be marred by this scandal.
The world is aghast and appalled by the bombshell dropped by Edwards, the “happily ever after” veneer. A deliberate snub, or an innocent omission?
For the moment, the controversy means that the 2018 wedding will just continue to be a hotbed of royal intrigue.
