“You know, three days before our wedding, we got married. No one knows that. The vows that we have framed in our room are just the two of us in our backyard with the Archbishop of Canterbury.”
Harry also confirmed that it was just the "three of us" with no other witnesses.
The couple's wedding certificate, which was provided by the General Register Office, shows that they did not get married three days before the actual wedding.
It confirms the formalities did take place on May 19, 2018, at Windsor Castle.

According to Stephen Borton, former chief clerk at the office, the couple did not marry three days earlier before the Archbishop of Canterbury.
Borton told The Sun, the wedding certificate he drew up happened on 19 March 2018, which was seen by the world at the official wedding.
"What I suspect they did was exchange simple vows they had written themselves, and said it in front of the archbishop," Borton continued.
According to attorney Kurt Paulse, to be legally married, "there must be witnesses".
"There must be two witnesses present to sign the marriage register," Paulse added.
