Royal wedding first photos: Prince Harry and Meghan Markle as Duke and Duchess of Sussex

It is official, Prince Harry is a married man. The royal blood has left behind his bachelor life for the love of his life, Meghan Markle. The former US television actress was last seen in TV show Suits. The royal couple will now be known as the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.

The couple exchanged their vows at St George's Chapel in Windsor. The ceremony took place at 12 noon, GMT. Meghan Markle looked surreal in her wedding gown designed by British designer, Clare Waight Keller.  

The couple have chosen Cleave and Company to make their Wedding rings. "Markle's ring has fashioned from a piece of Welsh Gold, gifted by Her Majesty The Queen. Prince Harry's ring will be a Platinum Band with a textured finish. Both rings were crafted in the Cleave workshop," the Kensington Palace revealed. 

The Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, married the Prince and Markle. Rt Rev David Conner, Dean of Windsor, conducted the service. The Most Reverend Michael Curry, who is the presiding bishop of the Episcopal Church (a US branch of the Church of England) gave the address at the occasion.

It was truly a royal affair as Harry was accompanied by his brother Prince William (his best man) at the altar while Meghan walked down the aisle to wed her fiancé by Prince Charles. Meghan's father Thomas Markle was supposed to walk the now royal member down the aisle, however, he backed out of the royal wedding on the grounds of unfit medical condition.

Meghan had the most adorable bridesmaids accompanying her at the wedding. The bride had chosen six bridesmaids which included William and Kate Middleton's daughter Princess Charlotte, Prince Harry's goddaughters, Zalie Warren and Florence van Cutsem, Markle's goddaughters, sisters Remi and Rylan Litt, and Ivy Mulroney.

Prince George, Harry's godson, Jasper Dyer and twin brothers Brian and John Mulroney played the role of the page boys at the wedding.
