The Royal Wedding: Which Celebs were Invited?

Meghan Markle Prince Harry first kiss

Moments ago, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry were married in an unforgettable ceremony at Windsor Castle.

Meghan looked flawless in a Givenchy dress, and Harry was dapper as always in his military uniform.

 

Which is all to the good, as the newlyweds had some A-list guests competing for the spotlight.

Royal weddings are typically attended by a few celebrities, but they’re generally not as star-studded as Harry and Meghan’s.

It’s a testament to the strength of Meghan’s Hollywood ties that some of the biggest names in the entertainment world made the trip to London for her big day.

For starters, the closest thing that America has to a queen – Oprah Winfrey herself – was in attendance.

Sadly, she didn’t give in to the temptation to start handing out cars to the assembled dignitaries.

Of course, Oprah certainly wasn’t the only A-lister on hand.

Among the few that publicly confirmed in advance that they would be attending were George and Amal Clooney.

Amal turned heads in a yellow Stella McCartney dress with an asymmetrical train.

The human rights attorney’s connection to Meghan is a powerful one – sources say she advised the actress on London hairdressers shortly after Markle made her move to the UK.

Needless to say, ties don’t get much stronger than that.

Serena Williams and Alexis Ohanian were also on hand.

Alexis is a co-founder of the social media platform Reddit.

Serena, of course, needs no introduction.

Williams rocked a blush cocktail dress and got into the spirit of a royal wedding with some elaborate headgear.

Speaking of international sports icons, it wouldn’t be a major UK social event if the Beckhams weren’t in attendance.

Yes, Posh and Becks looked stylish as ever matching black ensembles.

Very subdued. Kim and Kanye would be proud.

Victoria might be pulling double duty today, as its being rumored that the Spice Girls will perform at Harry and Meghan’s reception.

It’s sort of unfair of the new Duke and Duchess of Sussex to pull off such a baller event right at the beginning or wedding season.

Being a bridesmaid in your former dorm mate’s ceremony next week just can’t measure up, ya know?

Also in attendance were Elton John, Priyanka Chopra, Joss Stone, and of course, Prince William and Kate Middleton.

Meghan’s onscreen love interest – Suits star Patrick J. Adams – also made the guest list.

He posted a loving tribute to his former co-star on Twitter last night:

“Going to bed now and thinking a lot about the strange surreal and wonderful day my friend Meghan is going to have tomorrow. Meghan – wherever you are – we are so grateful to be here to watch you both take this monumental step together,” he wrote, adding:

“Love deeply and live well.”

Sound advice, and we’re sure both Meghan and Harry took it to heart.
