Congratulations to the newly wed Prince Harry of Wales, Duke of Sussex and his new wife Meghan, Duchess of Sussex!!! Apologies I couldn't live post, but here it is the breakdown of their wedding. Guests, the wedding party and the bride and groom themselves. Everything you wanted to know.

Let's start with the guests. The only royals in attendance were the Royal family. Harry is just 6th in line to the throne and is not a direct heir. Due to this he was under no obligation to invite any politicians, other religious leaders etc. Here is who attended from his own family;

The proud father of the groom Prince Charles of Wales, Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall and the blushing bride's mother, Doria Ragland.
