Royals thank public for wedding support
LONDON (AP) — The royal family has thanked people who attended or watched the wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.
“Thank you to everyone who came to Windsor and those who followed from around the UK, the Commonwealth, and the world,” the royals said.
The family tweeted its thanks late Saturday night while Harry and his bride were attending a private soiree hosted by Harry’s father, Prince Charles.
Kensington Palace did not release details, but photographs showed Markle, now known formally as the Duchess of Sussex, wearing an emerald-cut aquamarine ring that had belonged to Harry’s mother, Princess Diana, to the reception.
The newlyweds spent their first night as a married couple at Windsor Castle. They are not immediately embarking on a honeymoon and will have their first engagement as wife and husband at Buckingham Palace on Tuesday.
A honeymoon is expected to happen soon, though. Harry is partial to traveling in Africa, so it’s possible their destination may be somewhere there.
