After exchanging their vows and tying the knot in a romantic ceremony at St George’s Chapel, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have delighted fans by sharing their first kiss as a married couple.

The couple stood beneath a floral tribute to Harry’s late mother Princess Diana and sealed their marriage with a kiss in front of a large crowd of adoring onlookers.

They were then waved off by friends and family as they left the chapel in an open-top car for a carriage procession through Windsor.

Meghan wore a stunning gowndesigned by Clare Waight Keller for French fashion house Givenchy for the ceremony. Her look was finished off with Queen Mary’s diamond bandeau tiara, held in place by the veil.

The tiara was made in 1932 and leant to Meghan by the Queen for the big occasion, while her beautiful gown features a bateau neckline, extraordinary long trail and three-quarter sleeves.

As she descended down the aisle and met Prince Harry at the altar, he held her hand and told her: “You look beautiful.”

A statement from Kensington Palace gave more information on Meghan's beautiful gown, reading, "After meeting Ms. Waight Keller in early 2018, Ms. Markle chose to work with her for her timeless and elegant aesthetic, impeccable tailoring, and relaxed demeanour.

“Ms. Markle also wanted to highlight the success of a leading British talent who has now served as the creative head of three globally influential fashion houses – Pringle of Scotland, Chloé, and now Givenchy.

"True to the heritage of the house, the pure lines of the dress are achieved using six meticulously placed seams. The focus of the dress is the graphic open bateau neckline that gracefully frames the shoulders and emphasises the slender sculpted waist.

"The lines of the dress extend towards the back where the train flows in soft round folds cushioned by an underskirt in triple silk organza. The slim three-quarter sleeves add a note of refined modernity."

Around 2000 guests also attended the nuptials, including celebrities Idris Elba, Oprah Winfrey, The Beckhams and Serena Williams.
