Meghan Markle and Prince Harry celebrated their sixth wedding anniversary on Sunday, May 19, but one royal photographer recently revealed the harsh reality of trying to photograph the Duke and Duchess of Sussex on their big day.
“I was there I hated the day, it was a miserable day,” Arthur Edwards told an outlet. “I can tell you now it was the worst royal engagement I ever did, the worst royal wedding I ever did because Harry was determined to keep the newspapers away from it as much as possible.”
“Everything was done on long lenses. It was hopeless. And when they went past in the carriage, they turned away from me,” he continued.

Over the years, the Duke of Sussex has been open about his relationship with the British media and sued various tabloids over accusations of phone hacking and unethical journalistic practices.
“I felt it was deliberate, with the British press, in many ways they were badly treated,” the professional shared. “Harry was angry at us about things said about Meghan. Some of the things were pretty harsh. Some were pretty unfair.”
“He was angry and I felt we were punished for that,” Edwards noted.

Although the historic moment was challenging for the shutterbug, the duo shared an intimate moment from their reception dinner in their popular Netflix series Harry & Meghan.
“Let’s call this a modern fairytale. Once upon a time, there was a girl from L.A. Some people called her ‘an actress,'” Meghan told guests. “And there was a guy from London. Some people called him ‘a prince.’ All of those people didn’t fully get it. Because this is the love story of a boy and a girl who were meant to be together.”
