You watched the wedding. But now, the portrait.

The official royal wedding photos are here, and don’t they all look happy?

Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan of Sussex released three wedding portraits Monday, taken by official wedding photograph­er Alexi Lubomirski in the Green Drawing Room at Windsor Castle.

Kensington Palace issued a statement declaring the two “delighted” with the pictures and happy to share them.

“The Duke and Duchess of Sussex would like to thank everyone who took part in the celebratio­ns of their wedding on Saturday,” the statement said. “They feel so lucky to have been able to share their day with all those gathered in Windsor and also all those who watched the wedding on television across the UK, Commonweal­th, and around the world.”

One picture shows Harry and Meghan with their family and their pageboys and bridesmaid­s, including Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip, Prince Charles and his wife Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, Meghan’s mother, Doria Ragland, Prince William and Duchess Kate of Cambridge, seen holding Princess Charlotte on her lap.

The second picture shows the couple with their pageboys and bridesmaid­s. In that picture, George, 4, is grinning, as if he were saying “cheese,” while Charlotte, 3, wears a broad smile.

The third picture is a black-andwhite shot of the couple together on the East Terrace of Windsor Castle.

Lubomirski also snapped Harry and Meghan’s engagement photos and attended the wedding.

He said: “This has been a beautiful chapter in my career and life that I will happily never forget.”
