Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have always spoken fondly of their 2018 wedding day, even if it wasn’t how they originally planned to do things. While they had the eyes of the world on them for their televised royal wedding, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have hinted a number of times that they wanted the exchanging of vows to be a lot more private than they were able to be.

However, Harry, 40, contradicted this in his memoir Spare when he spoke about a conversation he had with his now estranged brother Prince William on where to host the big day. Despite the fact the couple reportedly wanted a more private wedding, Harry contradicted this in his book by saying he initially suggested he married Meghan in Westminster Abbey. He also said he suggested St Paul’s Cathedral in London as another potential option.

Recalling the conversation he has with William, Harry wrote in Spare: “I told him (William) we were thinking of Westminster Abbey. No good. We did it there. Right, right.

“St. Paul’s? Too grand. Plus Pa and Mummy did it there. Hm. Yes. Good point.

“He suggested Tetbury. I snorted. Tetbury? The chapel near Highgrove? Seriously, Willy? How many does that place seat?”

Harry then wrote in the book that William said he suggested Tetbury as he believed the couple wanted a small wedding - something they have also claimed themselves.

Harry said William’s response was: “Isn’t that what you said you wanted—a small, quiet wedding?”

In the memoir, the duke then said that what the couple really wanted was to elope in Botswana.

He wrote: “In fact we wanted to elope. Barefoot in Botswana, with maybe a friend officiating, that was our dream.

“But we were expected to share this moment with other people. It wasn’t up to us.”
