Sussex Anniversary Double Standards: Prince Harry Considered 'Pricey Gift' for Meghan Markle Despite 'Suits' Stars' 'Paper Present' for Duke
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry celebrated their sixth wedding anniversary on Sunday, May 19, which reportedly found the fiery-haired prince gifting his Duchess a "pricey gift."
"I feel certain that he will buy her a little piece of jewelry. Six years and it's iron," royal expert Ingrid Seward dished when highlighting the pair's iron marital commemoration.
"But what could he get her that was iron, an iron pot maybe?" she added. "I think he's probably more likely to get her a little ring, she loves rings. And as he did once before, he might get her some beautiful flowers."
To mark their first anniversary in 2019, with the traditional "paper" theme, Meghan handwrote their wedding speech and had it framed for her prince. The veteran royal commentator suggests that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex might celebrate in a low-key manner at their lavish $14 million dollar Montecito home.
"I think that she will still want to make a big deal of it because there's so much focus on the state of their marriage," Seward continued. "I don't think they'll do anything in public, but I would have thought in private they might make just a sort of romantic gesture to each other. Harry's very, very much in love with Meghan. Whatever else we say about him, he loves her very much, and I think he'd want to do anything to make her happy."
Prince Harry first met Meghan Markle in the summer of 2016 after a mutual friend set the pair up on a blind date. The future Duchess of Sussex was in London attending the Wimbledon sporting event during the hiatus for Suits, in which she starred as Rachel Zane.
"We met for a drink, and then I think very quickly into that we said, 'Well what are we doing tomorrow? We should meet again,'" the former actress and working British royal shared in her and Harry's November 2017 engagement interview.
Their May 19, 2018, royal wedding at St George's Chapel, Windsor Castle, was a television ratings hit with an estimated 1.9 billion viewers across the globe. After six years of marriage, their romance seems to be alive and well.
"Celebrations will probably be behind closed doors, maybe a dinner party with some friends or maybe just the two of them," former royal butler to King Charles III, Grant Harrold, shared. "Typically, the royal family does acknowledge wedding anniversaries, we usually see social media posts so it’ll be interesting to see if that happens this year. If they don’t, once again it goes to show the ongoing division. If it does happen, then I see that as an olive branch."
This is the second marriage for Meghan after her union with film producer Trevor Engelson ended in 2014.
