Harry and Meghan will celebrate their sixth wedding anniversary in May. Since stepping down from the monarchy in 2020, the couple has spoken in-depth about their relationship in a number of media ventures. In his memory SpareHarry recounted the events that unfolded on the day of his grandmother Queen Elizabeth’s death and how he was in the UK at the time to attend charity events with Meghan.

“What a great man you are Harry; you are a true prince,” wrote one TikTok user.
“Beautiful couple,” posted another, with a further comment reading: “[It] It’s beautiful to look at.”
Harry and Meghan’s PDA has not always been universally welcomed during the mourning events for the late Queen between her death and state funeral. When the couple were seen holding hands during the King’s Laying-In ceremony at Westminster Hall on September 14, some social media users and commentators slammed it as disrespectful.
That didn’t stop the couple, who were reportedly spotted holding hands again five days later during the Queen’s official funeral at Westminster Abbey.
