Under the bright sunshine of Windsor Castle, crowds cheered and waved as Meghan Markle’s wedding car drove in. The world held its breath as the bride and groom walked in what was billed as the fairytale wedding of the century. The international media hailed the event as a symbol of love overcoming all barriers, a romance that connected the British royal family to Hollywood. However, behind that perfect facade, there was a completely different truth, a secret that had been buried for years. Now, a veteran witness, royal photographer Arthur Edwards, who was at the scene, has broken his silence to expose a much darker story. He called it a “nightmare” and “the worst day” of his career, a chaotic event filled with insubordination and disrespect, which would later be seen as the beginning of an irreparable rift between the couple and the royal family.

According to Edwards, who has more than 40 years of experience photographing the British royal family, Harry and Meghan’s wedding was not as formal and joyful an event as the public expected. From the beginning, he sensed something was wrong. The first thing that surprised him and many others was the seating arrangement. Contrary to tradition, senior members of the royal family and prestigious family guests were placed in the back rows, while the front row was reserved for a series of Hollywood stars and Meghan’s acquaintances, some of whom had never even met the couple. Edwards himself was also placed in a bad position, with his view completely blocked. This not only made those present uncomfortable, but was also a clear sign that the couple was deliberately creating their own “circle”, separate from their family members.

But that wasn’t all. Guests endured a lengthy ceremony in the brutal heat of Windsor Castle. Edwards described the ceremony as more of an “endurance test” than a joyous occasion. Sweat dripped, the air was stuffy, and discomfort pervaded everyone. This was made worse by the host’s lack of hospitality. At the reception, instead of a formal meal, guests were served only snacks and drinks, leading many to complain that they were hungry and felt unappreciated. For an event of such magnitude, the organization was considered unprofessional and disappointing.

More importantly, the groom, Prince Harry,’s attitude made the media and especially photographer Edwards feel extremely frustrated. According to Edwards, Harry was deliberately uncooperative, constantly avoiding the camera lens. He always bowed his head, turned away, or moved so that the photographers could not get a good photo. This attitude not only made it difficult to work but also showed a clear hostility towards the press, who had always followed and reported on him since he was a child. Edwards sadly recounted that he was unable to take a single usable photo from this event, something that had never happened in his career. This was not an accident but a deliberate act, a sign that the couple had begun a larger plan, a “war” with the media and the royal family.

The video argues that the events that took place at the wedding were not accidental but part of Harry and Meghan’s plan to create a global brand for themselves. The media shunning, disrespectful seating arrangements, and cold attitude towards the family are said to be the first steps in a “power play” to completely separate themselves from royal control. The video suggests that the bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey was just an elaborate drama, designed to create a tragic story, attract public attention and thereby make huge profits.

All these details, from the seating arrangements, the simple banquet, to Harry’s demeanor, revealed a stark truth about a wedding that was not about love but part of a more complex strategy. The fairytale wedding the world saw was just a decorative facade to cover up an internal war full of hatred and ambition. Harry and Meghan’s story is not just a break from the royal family, but also a warning about how power and fame can turn a beautiful love story into a calculated war.
