Meghan Markle and Prince Harry admitted that their secret wedding never actually happened — well, sort of. Just like Meghan told Oprah Winfrey in the royal couple’s infamous interview, “the couple exchanged personal vows a few days before their official/legal wedding on May 19,” a spokesperson for the Duchess and Duke of Sussex told The Daily Beast on March 22. The early exchange of vows didn’t make their marriage official, however, the outlet clarified.

However, Stephen Borton — who helped draft the license that allowed Meghan and Harry to legally marry — explained what could’ve possibly caused the secret wedding misunderstanding. “The Special Licence I helped draw up enabled them to marry at St George’s Chapel in Windsor and what happened there on 19 May 2018 and was seen by millions around the world was the official wedding as recognised by the Church of England and the law,” the former chief clerk at the United Kingdom’s Faculty Office told The Sun on March 22 (the outlet also obtained an official copy of Harry and Meghan’s marriage certificate).

The couple got even more serious in other parts of the interview. Meghan revealed that she had suffered suicidal thoughts while she was pregnant with her and Harry’s now two-year-old son, Archie. “I went to the institution. And I said that I needed to go somewhere to get help. And I said that I’d never felt this way before. I need to go somewhere. And I was told that I couldn’t, because it wouldn’t be good for the institution,” Meghan had told Oprah.
Today’s the day.

The most alarming topic that was brought up, though, centered around Meghan and Harry’s son. Meghan, who is biracial, claimed that there were “conversations about how dark his skin might [be] when he’s born.” She did not disclose who allegedly had these conversations, and revealed that the information was relayed to her by Harry. In response to the interview, Buckingham Palace issued a statement saying that “the issues raised, particularly that of race, are concerning” and “will be addressed by the family privately.”
