Meghan revealed that she and Harry tied the knot three days before the wedding. That’s not true

Rev. David Green, a vicar in the Church of England, said, “You can't get married twice.”

As Meghan claimed during her Sunday night tell-all interview with Oprah and the Sussexes, Prince Harry and Meghan did not have a legally binding marriage three days before the royal affair.

According to the Daily Telegraph, the ceremony in their back garden at Nottingham Cottage was merely an exchange of vows.

Meghan announced she and Harry had a private ceremony before the royal wedding at St George's Chapel at Windsor Castle on May 19, 2018, during her interview with Oprah, which touched on a variety of issues including depression and racism.

“We got married three days before our wedding. Meghan explained, “The vows we have framed.” “We just called the Archbishop and said, look, this stuff, this spectacle is for the world, but we want our union between us,” she said.

It was a small thing, but it was something they wanted to do together.

Meghan described the ceremony as “just the two of us in our back yard with the Archbishop of Canterbury.”

People started to doubt the legitimacy of Harry and Meghan's dual weddings after the interview broadcast.

Since there can't be two legally binding marriages, Rev. David Green suggested on Twitter that either the archbishop deceived the couple or they were being deceptive regarding the private wedding.

“You can't marry the same person twice.” So, three days ago, what was the situation? What on earth are we doing ‘playing' at prayer/holy matrimony for cameras if it's a marriage?” Green, a vicar in the Church of England, tweeted.

Following the initial speculation, both the Church of England and those close to the couple explained that the marriage Meghan mentioned was merely a private and personal exchange of vows.

One source said, “It was a small thing, but something they were willing to do amongst themselves.” “They exchanged vows in an intimate, private ceremony before the Archbishop, but their official wedding was very much on the day of the royal wedding.”

Two witnesses are required in the Church of England for a marriage to be solemnized by a church clergy man or in a location specified by the certificate, such as a chapel, cathedral, or hospital.
