These two spoiled brats are becoming nauseating.

I got legally married at a registry office then we had a traditional ceremony later in the week. Same thing.

Meghan said they got married in a garden and said their private vows to each other. She never said it was legal! The Archbishop said the legal wedding took place on Saturday.. The story is Kate lying about caring and Boris stealing money.

You’ve got to be effing kidding me.. Why is this non-story still a thing?! We all know it was a private ceremony where they exchanged their personal vows. They were legally wed 3 days later, how and why the fook would it EVER matter whether their first wedding was legal or not?!

FFS you should be better than this!

Cheers, Justin. I haven't slept a wink for weeks, worrying about that.

Looking for a great gift – look no more! These days when the old pictures filled with dust, without the new ones stored somewhere in your phone or computer – Memories are lost or forgotten. Pic Stop inc. Can help you with that...

Meghan never lets the truth get in the way of a good story.

Most British people seem dumb. or they are just simply desperate for any negative story about Meghan and Harry.

Here’s your gotcha moment😏

Is this a subject of national interest? Oh dear, poor Brits

They got married in the eyes of God, they value that as such, that's that.

I want to see wall-to-wall coverage of some of the other points made in that interview. Of no one wants to talk about the color of the baby’s skin concerns, M asked to continue acting to pay her own security, Kate made M cry, etc. no let’s keep doubling down on this wedding.

The archbishop whose head is up the ‘queen’s’ arse and defends pedophiles?

Why do you people persist? Everyone in the world heard exactly what Meghan said and understood exactly what she meant. This didn’t need to be delved into. They exchanged personal vows to each other three days before their official ceremony where the paperwork was signed. End of!

With everything that’s going on in the world - really fcukin get a grip

And his boss is?it all makes sense

So that means she did lie?

Get over it . Move on. They have

No part of what the Archbishop said contradicts Meghan and Harry. You guys really need to stop this stupid witch hunt and get a life.

During the ITW, M casually revealed that she & PrinceHarry secretly 💞exchanged WOWS 3 days💗》 before May19. M said “So the vows that we have framed in our room'Their intimate ceremony shows it means a lot to them even though it technically wasn’t legal

Y’all gonna have to stay mad!

This Saturday? I thought I already got married?

My husband and I got the legal paperwork out of the way before our big day. But we considered ourselves married on the day we shared our vows with each other, surrounded by our loved ones. And that's not even a rare way to do it, so the wilful ignorance here is quite something.

I'd imagine the key phrase there is 'legal' - doesn't mean she's lying, it means as someone from the US who don't always need witnessess, she was mistaken to the legitimacy of it...

In many religions & cultures,pple make pre-wedding vows privitely before a legal wedding. As vows are the most personal part of a wedding ppl will consider themselves married from that moment on.Only the uneducated idiots in the anti-Meg-UK media go at length to 'proof she lied'.

WTF so even the Archimbishop of Canterbury is slagging H&M off!

So someone said they got married . Now the media said they didn’t . What a shot show from the media .

Two adults have sentimental, private ceremony like boat load of other people around the world, consider that their marriage but legalize later British Media: how dare you? We decide which one is your marriage because clearly we, the people not in the marriage care about it more.

Yes it was on Saturday, however H & M REPEAT THEIR OWN VOWS BETWEEN THEM and the priest was with them. They have a picture of their vows in their bedroom.

Ok...They had a secret intimate ceremony for the two of them. WTF.. ?

Yeah... I saw their marriage certificate years ago A commitment ceremony is the soft gooey exchange of feelings that would be ‘inappropriate’ for a world wide event such as this. So in their hearts of hearts , the commitment (Framed Vows) to one another occurred 3 days prior -

If I was Oprah or any other guest at that wedding, I would think - so you asked me to take time out of my schedule, book and pay for flights, hotel, clothes, a gift - then travel and get dressed up and supposedly celebrate you - for a sham ceremony?

UK press is bothered Meghan reveals she had a symbolic, private sharing of vows Cue in the Fake outrage!! The horror!👀 how dare she have more than one wedding? Why aren’t we included? Wah wah😫 😜

Nigerian have 3 version for any wedding. 1-Traditional where both family witness the couple commitments to each other and are married. 2- ceremony where friends are invited to celebrate & party. 3- legal registration of the wedding. All these takes place days/weeks apart

Guardian, you don't surprise me that you have turned trash like rest of ukmedia. So have you never reported Sharia marriage or common law marriage in UK which doesn't involve a legal document but these marriages is as important as registered ones. Why not investigate BRF racism

We can add that to the list of lies Harry Windsor and Meghan Markle told in their infomercial with Oprah.

The upper crust think the law is their servant too. Welby’s admission (after?) the phone call shows he probably did the service twice and pronounced then h and w twice. If an ordinary clergyman had done that they’d have been reprimanded or worse. Odious little man IMO 👎🏻

To them their actual wedding was the private ceremony they had days before their legal wedding, you lot keep going on about this aspect to steer brits from the fact that Meghan was working for free & paid for ALL her clothes yet the media wrote she was spending taxpayers money 😡

They have a private ceremony for themselves & then are kind enough to celebrate with the World and they are getting negativity for it? Why?

Do better.

What she meant was we were married privately in her mind the church wedding was just a pantomime for the public as fracas she was concerned as soon as the fairy princess role didn’t suit her she dumped it like her family and anything else that becomes obsolete to her career

Beware of the Tomliney effet ... the crazy bunch will go after you 😬

Misstep, Graun. Your readership doesn't care. Stop trying to outdo the red tops. They wanted privacy. Respect that. Let them have it.

So they’ve only been married for less than a week?!?!

Is William still cheating on Kate with Rose?

What’s going on with the royal family’s investigation into Andrew the pedophile?

Y’all really are stupid over there, aren’t you?

Utter shame. I used to hold you to high regard. Is any news outlet immune to the foolishness going on in the UK?

And you think this doesn't happen anywhere else in the world, with other cultures? Maybe Meghan just enforced the blackness in her and didn't follow the Brits' ways. What she was talking about is normal in other countries and cultures. Apparently just not in Britain.

Lmao this country never fails to embarrass itself

Amin they’ve already clarified that within 48 hours after the interview! Any dumb idiots understood what they meant! Do you guys not have anything better to write about For instance BorisJohnson affair whilst married!! And the royal rapist! PrinceAndrew

Ooooooops....more lies

The way British media goes out of it's way to prove to the rest of the world they're the land of toxic masculinity & white fragility. Who goes through this much trouble to 'disprove' a married woman's private ceremony of vow exchange. They're still married...meanwhile...

British media continues nitpicking & twisting things to vilify Meghan. Customary/ Ceremonial/ Spiritual/ Private sharing of vows are done all over the world. Some couples attach more meaning & intimacy to them. HarryandMeghanonOprah Bullying Racism Hate

Obviously running out of topics to cover - let me help you with a suggestion or two🤡 PrinceAndrewandEpstein

They never said it wasn’t

Another cover story for pervert Andrew. I was looking for more nonsense when I heard about the charges against Andrew’s Victim finder.

They had a non-legally binding marriage ceremony that was theirs and good enough for them. The legally binding one was on Saturday. It's all good. No one is lying. Holy crap people. Move on!

This is what narrative collapse looks like. More holes in 'their truth' than a colander.

He’s not “contradicting” her. And the key word is “legal”. You can have a symbolic ceremony. Why are u guys making this a thing? The guardian is turning into tabloid 🗑. Why do you need to parse everything she said & then misrepresent it? She’s got enough death threats & bullies.

Slow news day I see! 🙄

Enraged dogs with a bone 🦴🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 that’s Brexit Britain 🇬🇧 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮 Stupidest people on earth 🤣🤣🤣 The rest of the world understands a symbolic wedding 3 days before the legal wedding but RACISTROYALFAMILY and their subjects... not so much 🤣🤣🤣

Shameful! The British media are actually trash and fake news.

This is like a difficult math question for the noteducated. Idi0t: She said no on knows it but we all watched the wedding and we all have access to the cert Yeah idi0t u're almost there.That's why she wasn't talking about the satrday but 3 days before when thy had their vow exch

This is just a distraction from the William cheating scandal. I mean, please.

The depravity of this whole country is astounding 😳

Still beating this dead ass horse huh. It is obvious that they know when the legal wedding was. You know when you file the legal papers duhhhh. They had a sweet private ceremony just for them. But keep up the terrible job that your 🇬🇧Media is doing. keep racing 2 the bottom spot

Well done to everyone who once watched this play of the Royal Theater.

The U.K press is stuck on stupid.

Wow, this has really brought out the MegBots in full force.

British = stupid

Stop bothering the public and live your lives.

lucy_campbell In the interests of balanced reporting perhaps should include the couple clarified (3+ wks ago) that their ‘legal wedding’ was on the Saturday. Feeding a tabloid / troll narrative that she lied about the wedding date appears disingenuous.

This again? Lord.

Does the British media have a problem understanding a vow exchange ceremony and then having a legal wedding. Never did they call it a legal wedding.

We don’t care. Neither Harry nor Meghan said the exchange of vows was legal. No where in the interview. The whole 🌎 knows what it means.

Meghan never said the word legal !

History will look back on this period with incredulity. Paedo Prince, Bonking Boris... Its all the same. LOOK over there! A black person doing something!

I have 2nd-hand embarrassment for Brits.🤦🏾‍♀️In my culture, there is a traditional wedding (symbolic cultural union of the two families) followed by the white (white for bride’s dress) religious wedding, where the certificate is signed. Traditional is still symbolic and significant!

Is this becessary? They already corrected the record and stated that the exchanged vows in secret before the archbishop prior to the Saturday the held the wedding. So this is not necessary.

The Archbishop of Cantebury is correct. The 'legal' wedding was 5/18/18, for 2.9 billion people to watch. The 'spiritual' wedding was 5/15/18, for 3 people to witness. Move on!

JustinWelby Sir, the Q isn’t if the Sussex’s LEGAL ceremony was the public one, they agreed on that post Oprah intv. The Q is WHY YOU WERE AT THEIR COTTAGE 3 days PRIOR to preside over a vow/commitment event? It seems rather servile. DO YOU DO THAT FOR EVERYONE? MeghanMarkle

Overmilking the cow. Obsession. Usually a big story is milked for 14 days. It looks like with this HarryandMeghan interview on Oprah, each line is gonna be nitpicked & twisted. At this rate Archie will be at high school before this ends. STOP!

The British journalists are idiotic. There are not normal. The rest of the world understands what Meghan meant. Why not talk about the lie that lying Kate let stand. The one that Meghan made her cry.

This intentionally obtuse headline is another hollow attempt at discrediting Meghan. Clearly Harry & Meghan were referring to a private commitment ceremony/vow exchange during the interview, which represented their devotion to each other prior to the public, legal wedding.

Shit on the guardian

The British media are a complete embarrassment at this point.

Oooooh so you’re taking up the assault. Fuck you.

You Brits are the worst. You have a Prime Minister involved in yet another sexual relationship scandal, the police embroiled in a sexist complaint, a FBI dodging Prince and a racist Royal Family. Yet a couple exchanging private vows is the country’s MAJOR concern! 😡🤮

Blocking you for getting involved in this nonsense. Just say you’re part of the smear campaign and call it a day. We all know EXACTLY what Meghan AND Harry meant.

In many cultures there are many pre wedding ceremonies that are viewed as maritally binding. The legal bit is just a paper work. So they have not done any wrong at all. It's a Brit prob, not a universal issue.

The more I see these people in action, the more I'm convinced PrinceHarry was saved. To have your life picked apart right down to the point of ridiculous is insane. Anyone with one iota of 'commonsense' knew exactly what they meant. These 🤡🤡are out here questioning the priest?

Colonisation taught me alot about these people... they are pure STUPID. Like who doesn't get what Meghan really meant😪😪😪😪

That's a clear lie. He never contradicted them. He stated the fact about the legal bit, but chose to keep their private bit so. Why the twisted lies?

In many cultures, there are multiple ceremonies can take place during a wedding in which the couple can exchange vows and later have one ceremony to make the marraige legal. The pearl clutching with Meg haters and U.K's press is rediculous. How could you not understand that?

Meghan and Harry had an exchange of marriage vows before what was most important to them, they never said it was the legal marriage with signing a document.

So Meghan, Harry and the Archbishop have all confirmed that the Official legal wedding was on the Saturday so what next, are we going to ask the Queen and the Prime Minister too? 🤷🏾‍♀️

She never claimed it was a legal wedding.

The UK really out here shamelessly screaming to the world that they are uncultured swine who've never heard of a private exchange of vows💀. Y'all are really living a truly unexamined life OUT LOUD and PROUD.

British media continues nitpicking & twisting things to vilify Meghan. Customary/Ceremonial/Private sharing of vows is done all over the world & some couples attach more significance & intimacy to them. Legalizing or formalizing ceremonies is something which Meghan never denied.

Are you going to talk about how Prince Andrew lobbied with the us government to get Epstein a lesser sentence or are you just going to continue obsessing and nitpicking everything Meghan and Harry do?

Why the fuss about two taking vows privately? Don't you have better things to write about for goodness sake C'mon!!!!!

What matters is their truth: rehearsal was the legal wedding 😂😂😂 without the “legal” bit

'Legal wedding' are the operative words here. The 'commitment ceremony' (wedding) was three days before. Clearly the simple, private ceremony in the back yard is the one that means more to HarryandMeghan 🥰

It's a problem that Guardian's royal coverage rely on UK Tabloids, currently being sued Meghan and Harry. They never claimed that it was their legal wedding. The point was clarified before the UK viewing of the interview, not that the truth interests these rags.

Everyone with a brain knew that they weren't talking about legal wedding but something like this.They said they were only 3 and you can't have legal wedding without witnesses anyway. Even my 18 months old niece know that.The UK is embarrassing for pretending to be dumb about that

Emphasis on LEGAL which was never in question. We all saw them sign the certificate on that Saturday. What's not clicking? Every other place in the world with a rich heritage and culture understood that because we have multiple weddings and 3 days prior they had a blessing.

My goodness UK re: interview

Anryone with common sense understands it was just an informal exchange of vows. And you can't marry legally without witnesses, as 'they said there were 3 of us'. Also there're pics of them signing documents, which they released themselves. Y'all create things out of nothing

Is nothing else happening in Britain?

naebody cares

Well obviously everyone knows that, but clearly the wedding that they hold close to their hearts was their backyard ceremony. Why does this upset the UK so much?

Anyone who listened to her knows she was talking about private vows. Meghan is heavily pregnant UK press should stop causing her distress.

We know that. At no point did did they claim the legal wedding wasn’t. Probably best they not have used the word “marriage” to avoid confusion but if that’s neither here nor there. Sane ppl know what they meant

Everyone with common sense understood what Meghan meant. Except ofcourse her haters and the tabloids. 🙄🙄🙄

I find this news very Guardian unworthy. I believe most people did understand that the personal event among just the two of them meant more to her, even if it wasn't official considering there were no witnesses. What is this article suggesting? Stop feeding the trolls.

As someone observing this from abroad. What’s the obsession about this. What’s the big deal about a commitment service that happens all the time. Isn’t there a bigger story about Boris’ 4 year affair and the fact that he lives with his girlfriend in taxpayer accommodation?

They never said they were. It was a private ceremony for them, not a wedding 🙄🙄

1+1=2. I'm very concerned about the schooling of England's journalists.

EVERYONE who has good will and elementary logic, understand what they wanted to say. IF someone has bad will, wants to distort, attack, or blame others, there could be also created reason. UK media and many readers are those of BAD WILL, DISTORTING.

Click bait ahoy.... catching them is so easy these days.

retweet

So what!

That’s consistent. I say that as someone who had a commitment ceremony with my husband 15 days before my “big wedding.” I’ve got 2 anniversaries.

anyone who thought otherwise is an absolute idiot. Meghan never said it was legal

Your trash articles aren’t changing anyone opinion. We support Meghan. We support Harry.

I don’t think any person of reason & sense thought their private exchange of vows was a legal wedding, rather it was their special moment prior to the actual ceremony. I don’t understand why this is so hard for some to comprehend. Tempest in a teapot.

They never said it wasn’t. It was purely a more symbolic event, before the real one occurred. You’re seriously scrapping the barrel here for some sort of ‘gotcha’ moment that will never arrive. Get over yourselves.

No. Shit. They said VOWS. That isn’t a legal ceremony- the mold from that island must be getting to you

Honestly, UK press stop embarrassing yourselves.🙄

Who gives a shit?

Already clarified by Harry and Meghan on 9th March.

Massively relieved to have this cleared up 🙏

The two of them are lying grifters. They just got caught in one of their many lies.

They never said it wasn’t

I used to think and their readership had some intelligence. Everyday they prove me wrong. Sheesh

So we all know that it has taken place so Meghan was telling the truth

God under pressure from Meghan Markel to sack his archbishop.

Soooooo she stretched the truth again to suit her narrative. Shocker.

wasn't these all clarified ages ago...

All lies then

Can't believe we're still talking about them!! Good luck to them but with what is going on in UK politically these two are the last thing anyone should be going on about, Have you got anything on Andy yet

Wow - I am well past having grown tired of this ongoing saga.

Obviously the archbishop is lying, right MeganMarkle ?🤔 meganmarkleIsALiar MeganMarkleLied

So she’s a liar then. Shock horror. The interview was her greatest performance………..and dear god, that isn’t saying much

FFS who cares? They've bucked aff to America.

To be fair, anyone with any common sense knew that.
