Oprah then asked the couple what they were most excited about in their new life.
“I think just being able to live authentically — like this kind of stuff. It’s so basic, but it’s really fulfilling and just getting back down to basics,” Meghan said.
She went on to reveal a new detail about the couple’s wedding week in 2018.
“I was thinking about it, three days before our wedding, we got married — no one knows that — but we called the Archbishop and said, ‘This thing, this spectacle is for the world, but we want our union between us,’ " Meghan shared. “So the vows that we have framed in our room are just the two of us in our backyard with the Archbishop of Canterbury.”
