Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were declared husband and wife Saturday at St. George’s Chapel in a star-studded ceremony attended by celebrities including George and Amal Clooney and Oprah Winfrey, among others. Tennis star Serena Williams was also in attendance, along with sports legend David Beckham and his wife Victoria. Singer James Blunt and actor Idris Elba were among the other big names to watch the pair walk down the aisle. Hundreds of fans of the royal couple camped out outside Windsor Castle overnight to see the newlyweds in their horse-drawn carriage. “I’m here for that 10 seconds when that coach goes around the corner,” Canadian royal-watcher Bernadette Christie told the Associated Press. More than 2,000 members of the public were invited to attend the ceremony, which saw Queen Elizabeth II name Prince Harry as the Duke of Sussex, Earl of Dumbarton and Baron Kilkeel. Markle has also gained a new title, the Duchess of Sussex.
