Who could have predicted the events that have unfurled in the five years since the marriage of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex?

On that sunny day in May 2018 the nation watched as Prince Harry and Meghan Markle tied the knot at St George’s Chapel, Windsor, following weeks of wedding drama surrounding the bride’s family.

Since then we’ve seen the couple step back from their royal duties, move to California, take part in tell-all interviews, and make a number of deeply personal claims about members of his family.

But as Harry and Meghan prepare to celebrate their wedding anniversary this week, royal expert Jennie Bond said it would be best for everyone if the coming months included some elements of forgiveness which would start to heal some of the deep divisions within the royal family.
