    Prince Harry and Meghan Markle tied the knot in a royal wedding at St. George's Chapel in Windsor Castle on May 19, 2018. As the Duke and Duchess of Sussex celebrate their seventh wedding anniversary, one lip reader has analyzed previously unknown remarks made by Prince Harry on his wedding day.

    Speaking to the Daily Mail, lip reader Terry Ruane revealed that, while waiting for Duchess Meghan to arrive, Prince Harry turned to his brother Prince William and said, "Is Meghan here?" According to Ruane, Harry subsequently joked, "My hair is going to go gray."

    In a captioned video shared by USA Today, Prince Harry was visibly delighted when Meghan finally arrived at the altar, telling her, "You look amazing. I'm a lucky guy."

    Meanwhile, royal editor and biographer Ingrid Seward suggested that Harry's grandmother, Queen Elizabeth, allegedly made some disparaging remarks about Harry and Meghan's wedding. Writing in the book My Mother and I, Seward alleged (via the Daily Mail), "The Queen never voiced her true opinions except to her close confidants, such as Lady Elizabeth Anson, or Liza as she was known to her friends." Seward continued, "She told me that the Queen had made only one remark about Meghan and Harry's wedding and that was that Meghan's Givenchy wedding gown was 'too white.'"
