The Archbishop of Canterbury definitely disavows Meghan Markle and Harry about the secret wedding anticipated told during the famous interview with Oprah Winfrey.
After the presentation of the marriage certificate, published by some officials, which forced Meghan and Harry to take a step back and deny their own account of the anticipated wedding, admitting to having taken only personal vows, now the Archbishop of Canterbury also directly rejects Sussex’s claim that she would marry them in a secret ceremony prior to their wedding at Windsor Castle.
Justin Welby, therefore, he broke the silence as if to defend himself from the declarations of the couple and reiterated that he had signed the marriage certificate of Harry and Meghan on the day when millions of people attended their wedding.
Markle, who was also denied on other fronts, had in fact involved Archbishop Welby by telling Oprah that she and Harry had been secretly married “just the two of us in our courtyard with the Archbishop of Canterbury.” But the prelate reiterated: “The legal wedding was Saturday”, that is, on May 19, 2018 when the public ceremony took place.
While admitting to having had a number of private encounters with Harry and Meghan, he pointed out emphatically: “On Saturday I signed the marriage certificate, which is a legal document, and I would have committed a serious crime if I had signed it knowing it was fake ”.
The archbishop of Canterbury therefore insisted on the marriage of 19 May 2018, but closed in silence about the other private meetings with the couple: “the legal marriage was on Saturday. But I will not say what happened in any other meeting ”.
Meghan and Harry, however, already a few days ago had clarified the statements made to Oprah on the secret ceremony, correcting themselves. The story of the anticipated and secret wedding had immediately aroused perplexity bringing it to the attention of the media, because in Great Britain there is the law according to which a marriage is legally valid if celebrated in the presence of at least two witnesses that in the private ceremony, described by Markle , there were not.
