Meghan Markle offered a bride-to-be some personal wisdom on the eve of her wedding, the kind of advice that speaks to someone who has clearly given marriage a great deal of thought.
The Duchess of Sussex was filmed sending a warm video message to a woman called Ellie, just days before her wedding day.A fan shared the message on Instagram in which Meghan emphasized the distinction between a wedding and marriage. The clip appears to have been filmed during her recent trip to Australia with Prince Harry.
What did Meghan Markle say to the bride?
In the clip, Meghan told the soon-to-be-married woman: “Ellie, I’m here with your dad. I just wanted to congratulate you on your wedding.”
Enjoy the wedding, but it’s more about the marriage. I wish you a wonderful and beautiful marriage and a life of love. Sending you love all over the world. Your dad is amazing.” She then blew a kiss to the camera.
Meghan Markle talks about her marriage to Prince Harry
Meghan and Harry married in 2018 in a ceremony held at St. George’s Chapel in Windsor Castle, attended by the late Queen Elizabeth, King Charles, and Prince William. They are approaching their anniversary on May 19. Since then, the couple have welcomed two children, Archie and Lilibet.
In April 2025, Meghan appeared on The Jamie Kern Lima Show, where she was asked if she thought she and Harry would “be married forever.” She replied with a simple “yes” before adding: “He’s also a fox, if you haven’t noticed. My husband is very, very handsome. But his heart is even more beautiful.”She continued: “There is something not to be taken for granted when you have a partner and a husband who supports you so much.
H, this man loves me very much. And you know, look at what we’ve built. We have built a beautiful life, and have two beautiful, healthy children. And you know, I always think of it like the end of Super Mario Brothers when you get to the final level. What is the goal in Super Mario? They’re like, slay the dragon, save the princess.
I like this my husband. “He will do everything he can to make sure our family is safe and protected, we feel uplifted and still make time for date nights.”As their seventh wedding anniversary approaches, Meghan’s words to Ellie appear to reflect a philosophy she and Harry take to heart.
