Prince Harry and Meghan Markle had a ‘reflective’ second wedding anniversary after feeling they’re ‘only just coming up for air’ from an ‘epic year’, a friend of the couple has revealed.
The Duke, 35, and Duchess of Sussex, 38, marked their anniversary yesterday ‘enjoying family time’ with their son Archie, one, at Tyler Perry’s $18 million Beverly Hills mansion where they are currently staying.
A friend of the couple has now revealed how they were feeling ‘quite reflective’ about the big day, after a year of ‘huge changes’.
They told Vanity Fair’s Katie Nicholl: ‘The last year has been pretty epic and all the changes they have lived through and gone through are huge…To be honest they’re only just coming up for air.’

The friend explained that the couple wanted to spend the day ‘mostly offline’ with their son Archie and simply ‘enjoying each other.’
Two years on from their wedding day, the source said they are both ‘in a really good place’.
They added that ‘speaking up’ and removing themselves from ‘a toxic situation’ had allowed them to create a life in which they could ‘flourish’.
The couple, who have been busy organising various charitable foundations, made sure they had no work calls booked in yesterday, two years after they married at Windsor Castle.

‘The day will simply be quality time with one another and as a family,’ a source close to the couple told Harper’s Bazaar’s Omid Scobie, author of their upcoming biography Finding Freedom.’
Revealing they have been very busy working on various charities, the source continued: ‘They’re not going to be doing any work and made sure they have no meetings or calls in the diary.’
‘Like everyone else, they are in lockdown at the moment, so they will just be hanging out together at home,’ says the source. ‘But it will still be a lovely day.’
Last year the official Royal Family account were the only family members to pay tribute to the couple’s first wedding anniversary, writing at the time: ‘Wishing The Duke and Duchess of Sussex a very happy wedding anniversary.

‘Today marks one year since Their Royal Highnesses exchanged vows at St George’s Chapel in the grounds of Windsor Castle.’
This year however their focus has remained on the Queen’s future garden parties, while Kensington Palace, Clarence House and the other official accounts have remained silent.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex wed on Saturday 19th May two years ago at St George’s chapel with the whole royal family in attendance, along with many celebrities guests including George Clooney and Robbie Williams.
