Meghan Markle’s wedding speech left guests in tears
The Duchess of Sussex left her wedding reception guests teary-eyed after delivering an emotional poem dedicated to Prince Harry.
Meghan’s poem articulated how “blessed” she felt to have met her prince and said their romance was “love at first sight”, reported The Sun.
“Meghan totally stole the show,” one guest shared.
“It was the most special part of the entire day and the most unexpected.
“She read her poem like the professional actress she is.
“Most of the room was misty-eyed by the final line. Harry looked so proud and had to wipe away a tear.
“She spoke about their first date and falling in love at first sight."
Meghan said she knew she had met her prince straight away and "how blessed and lucky she feels to have found such a profound love".
Meghan’s two-minute poetry reading to the couple’s reception guests at Frogmore Hall was just one of the many ways the wedding abandoned royal protocol.
Prior to this wedding, no royal bride had ever officially addressed their wedding guests.
The newlyweds, who married on May 19, had their first date in July 2016.
Their first date is believed to have been arranged by fashion designer Mischa Nonoo, a mutual friend.
Harry and Meghan went for a drink and reportedly arranged to see each other the next day after it went so well.
Last November, Harry revealed that he was smitten “the very first time we met”.
