When Lubomirski was announced as the official wedding photographer, he declared:
”I could not be more thrilled or honored to photograph this historic occasion.”
Describing the wedding day shoot, Alexi said:
“Every time Harry or Meghan would talk, one would look at the other and there would be this little sparkle, this little giggle, a little nudge of the elbow and it was so cute.”

Her wedding dress was designed by Clare Waight Keller, a noted British stylist and fashion designer, and the artistic director of the fashion house Givenchy.
Clare Waight Keller also designed the 16-foot veil that featured embroidered flowers from all of the 53 countries in the British Commonwealth (a unique political association of 53 member states).
Meghan said about her veil:
“It was important for me, especially now being part of the royal family, to have all 53 of the commonwealth countries incorporated. And I knew it would be a fun surprise for my now husband – he didn’t know!”
Markle later added:
”He was really over the moon to find that I would make this choice for our day together, and I think the other members of the family had a similar reaction.”

The couple said in a post on Instagram:
“After many months of reflection and internal discussions, we have chosen to make a transition this year to carve out a progressive new role within this institution.”
