Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, marked the eighth anniversary of her marriage to Prince Harry by sharing 24 previously unseen photos from their wedding day on May 19, 2018. While the images showcased joyful moments, including Harry dancing and a performance by Sir Elton John, they also sparked controversy. Columnist Jan Moir described the post as a 'crafty marketing strike,' suggesting that the absence of Meghan's father, Thomas Markle, and best man, Prince William, highlights a lack of family unity. Moir argued that the photos inadvertently emphasize the 'vacuum' at the heart of Harry and Meghan's lives, suggesting that the intent behind sharing the images may have been to underscore their partnership amidst ongoing family tensions. The couple's relationship with the royal family has been under scrutiny, with ongoing speculation about Meghan's interactions with other royals, particularly Princess Kate. Additionally, Meghan's recent public appearances, including a visit to Geneva, have drawn criticism for being 'staggeringly tone deaf' given the context of her family's estrangement.
