Unlike Harry’s brother and sister-in-law the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, he and Meghan didn’t head to the balcony of Buckingham Palace for their first kiss as a married couple.

Later, as they passed through the Cambridge Gate and entered the grounds of Windsor Castle following their carriage procession, the newlyweds shared a sweet kiss.
