As Prince Harry and Meghan Markle celebrate their 7th wedding anniversary, the couple continues to live life on their terms, prioritizing family, deep connections, and meaningful moments. Though they’ve kept the details of this year’s celebration private, their past anniversaries hint at a tradition of heartfelt, intentional gestures. True to their signature style, the Duke and Duchess are likely honoring this milestone with a blend of intimacy and symbolism. As they reach this new chapter together, let’s take a walk down memory lane to reflect on the love story that has captured hearts around the world. 

Prince Harry, fifth in line to the British throne, met American actress Meghan through mutual friends in the summer of 2016. In a September 2017 Vanity Fair cover story, Meghan confirmed their relationship: “We’re in love.” Less than a year later, they married on May 19, 2018, in a globally televised ceremony that included elements of Meghan’s African American heritage, such as a gospel choir. Numerous Hollywood celebrities, including George and Amal Clooney, attended the wedding.

The couple made their first public appearance holding hands at the 2017 Invictus Games, a sporting event founded by Prince Harry in 2014 for wounded and disabled veterans. Meghan, like Harry, is involved in humanitarian work. She has campaigned for women’s rights with the United Nations and served as an ambassador for World Vision Canada, supporting children in developing countries.

On May 6, 2019, Harry and Meghan welcomed their first child, Prince Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor. In 2020, they stepped back from royal duties and relocated to the United States, where they now live with their two children, Archie and Lilibet Diana Mountbatten-Windsor, born in 2021. Their departure and public criticism of British royal traditions sparked global debate and support.

Celebrating their marriage with personalized gifts, the couple follows traditional anniversary themes. According to PEOPLE, Meghan gifted Harry a framed copy of her wedding speech (paper) on their first anniversary. The second year (cotton) saw equally thoughtful gifts, while the third (leather), fourth (fruit and flowers), and fifth (wood) continued the tradition. As Brides noted, wood symbolizes the strong roots of a lasting union.

During their fourth anniversary, the couple revealed why they decided to have George Frideric Handel’s “Eternal Source of Light Divine” sung by Welsh soprano Elin Manahan Thomas on their wedding day.

“(It) was actually Harry’s choice entirely and I think a really beautiful piece,” Meghan told PEOPLE in 2022. “I can retrace that entire walk down the aisle listening to it. It really is so special for us, and I think it’s one of those things we’ll treasure forever.”

Harry stated, “Wherever we are, whatever we’re doing, we can close our eyes, listen to that music, and take ourselves straight back to that moment. It’s a beautiful thing for both of us.”

A heartwarming video of Prince Harry has resurfaced on social media, capturing the moment he saw Meghan walking down the aisle at their fairytale wedding. In the clip, Harry is heard expressing his awe and love: “You look amazing. I’m so lucky.”

Six years into their marriage, Harry and Meghan became devoted parents to their two children, Archie and Lilibet. During their 2024 visit to Nigeria, Meghan opened up to PEOPLE about her approach to motherhood and the values she hopes to instill in her children. In detail, she highlighted her ongoing commitment to empowering the next generation:

“I always reflect back on myself as a young girl and the type of inspiration that I wanted to see in other women. I hope in some small way I can be a part of that for a lot of these young girls especially.”

Meghan shared a heartwarming anecdote about Lilibet during their enlightening trip to Nigeria.

“She’s about to turn 3,” Meghan said about her daughter, as quoted by HuffPost. “And a few weeks ago she looked at me and she would just see the reflection in my eyes. And she (said), ‘Mama, I see me in you.’ But I hung on to those words in a very different way. And I thought, ‘Yes, I do see me and you, and you see me and you.’ But as I look around this room, I see myself in all of you as well.”

Reflecting on their family life after their controversial move from the UK to the US, Meghan shared her family’s current state with PEOPLE:

“We’re just doing great. And happy to be watching our family grow up and evolve. Of course, I’m happy. We’re really happy.” 

Harry and Meghan celebrated their sixth wedding anniversary on May 19, 2024, in a private and intimate manner. Tatler reported that the couple had dinner with their millionaire friends – Brian and Tracy Robbins – at Lucky’s, an upmarket steakhouse in Montecito, California. Brian is the co-CEO of Paramount Global and Nickelodeon, and Paramount Pictures president since 2021. The two couples have been fairly close recently, as they were also spotted together at the “Bob Marley: One Love” movie premiere in Kingston, Jamaica. 

The publication noted that the couple has been fond of the restaurant for many years since they relocated to the US. They were reportedly seen hanging out there in 2020 with David Foster and Katharine McPhee for a double date. 

As of now, Prince Harry and Meghan have not publicly disclosed how they plan to celebrate their 7th wedding anniversary on May 19, 2025. However, if their past celebrations are any indication, the couple will likely mark the occasion with their signature blend of intimacy, meaning, and personal reflection.

In a Mar. 3, 2025, interview with PEOPLE, Meghan shared a glimpse into their relationship, saying it feels like a “honeymoon period again” even after seven years of marriage. This sweet sentiment hints at a renewed connection between the Duke and Duchess, suggesting their anniversary will be a private moment focused on love, family, and shared growth.

Traditionally, the 7th anniversary is represented by copper or wool – symbols of warmth, resilience, and enduring strength. These qualities mirror the couple’s journey, marked by public challenges, personal reinvention, and unwavering support for each other. Over the years, Harry and Meghan have thoughtfully embraced symbolic gifts aligned with each anniversary, highlighting their attention to detail and appreciation for tradition.

While the specifics of their 2025 celebration remain unknown, it’s safe to assume it will be true to their values – quiet, meaningful, and full of gratitude. Whether it involves time with their children, a personal gift exchange, or simply a moment of reflection, the couple will likely honor the day in a way that strengthens their already deep bond.
