Fairytale ending Meghan Markle celebrates her 7th wedding anniversary to Prince Harry with never-before-seen photos

Meghan Markle is celebrating seven years of marriage to Prince Harry.

The Duchess of Sussex, 43, took to social media to mark the special occasion by sharing a series of never-before-seen images of the couple — and their two children — on Monday.

“Seven years of marriage. A lifetime of stories,” the “Suits” alum captioned her Instagram post, set to the Proclaimers’ hit song, “I’m Gonna Be (500 Miles).”

“Thanks to all of you (whether by our side, or from afar) who have loved and supported us throughout our love story – we appreciate you. Happy anniversary! ❤️.”

The snap, which showed a series of printed images of the Sussexes throughout the years all pinned to a mood board, included several handwritten notes that showcased Markle’s calligraphy.

“Our love story,” read one note, while another appeared to be Markle’s wedding vows to Harry.

One image, pinned to the board on the top left, show the pair posing for a selfie in 2016 — the year they kick-started their romance.

Other photographs were taken in the years that followed, and other snaps showed the pair’s two children — Prince Archie, 6, and Princess Lilibet, 3.

Among the photos was one of Harry and the former actress in Botswana, while another showed the duke holding son Archie alongside the lyrics to Ben E. King’s “Stand By Me” — a track that was played at their nuptials.

Markle also pinned a quote from Walt Whitman that read, “We were together. I forget the rest.”

Other photos include the duchess’ ultrasound image, several engagement images, and another of Archie and Lilibet sharing a sweet kiss.

Other snaps appeared to be throwback images from 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2022 — including images from various vacations, at-home moments in Montecito, Calif., as well as several PDA-packed photos of the couple.

The pair famously exchanged vows at St George’s Chapel in Windsor Castle on May 19, 2018.

Less than two years later, they quit as working members of the royal family and hightailed it across the pond.

During an appearance on her friend Jamie Kern Lima’s self-titled podcast last month, Markle gushed over the life she and Harry had built.

“We built a beautiful life and we have two healthy, beautiful children,” she said. “That’s my husband. He’s just out there, just constant, like, he’s going to do whatever he can to make sure that our family is safe and protected and we’re uplifted.”

“So I feel like it’s more of a honeymoon period for us now. He’s also a fox, if you haven’t noticed. My husband’s very, very handsome. But his heart is even more beautiful,” she added.
