For Meghan’s public tribute on Instagram—which included new photos of not just herself and Harry but also their kids Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet—she wrote, “Seven years of marriage. A lifetime of stories. Thanks to all of you (whether by our side, or from afar) who have loved and supported us throughout our love story—we appreciate you. Happy anniversary!”
In addition to their spa retreat to Arizona, Harry and Meghan have also been on the concert circuit as of late, seeing both Beyoncé and James Taylor inside of one week earlier this month.
Royal biographer Robert Jobson told Hello! of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex that “Seven years ago, the couple seemed the picture of happiness when they said ‘I do’ in front of the world. Today, Harry and Meghan, despite all the detractors, are still going strong—certainly older, wiser, and, on the face of it, more united than ever.”

“Their wedding at Windsor was a global moment of celebration,” he continued. “But what’s followed has been anything but a fairytale. They’ve weathered royal rifts, media storms, and much criticism. Yet, through it all, one thing has stayed constant—their loyalty and love for each other. They’ve faced pressures that few couples ever will. But it seems that they’ve come through it with a deeper bond and real clarity about who they are as a couple.”

Jobson added, “Now settled in Montecito with Archie and Lilibet, Harry and Meghan have balanced parenthood with passion projects through Archewell [their nonprofit]. There’s creative work ahead, philanthropic plans, too—some sense of direction. They seem very much a team. In public, they seem to support each other, they laugh together, and they’re building something that’s theirs.”
“Seven years in, it’s clear—it’s a real marriage, still growing, still evolving, and fundamentally still rooted in love,” Jobson said.
