Oh dear. Not content with having claimed that baby Archie was denied his rightful title, last night’s interview with the Sussexes saw them boast of having conducted a secret marriage with the Archbishop of Canterbury three days before the public ceremony in May 2018.
Meghan told Oprah: ‘You know, three days before our wedding, we got married. No one knows that. We called the Archbishop and we just said “Look this thing, this spectacle is for the world but we want our union between us”.’
She added that they exchanged personal vows during a backyard ceremony in the grounds of Kensington Palace – ‘just the two of us’. Prince Harry meanwhile sang ‘Just the three of us,’ Harry to the tune of the 1980 hit ‘Just the Two of Us’.
But the rules of the Church of England — of which Justin Welby is the leader — are strict and require at least two witnesses.
