Following the wedding, which took place on May 19, 2018, at St. George's Chapel at Windsor Castle, there were two receptions: one at lunchtime, hosted by Queen Elizabeth II, and one at night, hosted by Prince Charles at Frogmore House.

It was during the lunchtime gathering, which was attended by the 600 guests, that Prince Harry delivered a cheerful and grateful speech, thanking everyone for being there for him and Meghan Markle, as reported by People.

But the biggest 'thank you' was reserved for his wife. In fact, when Harry first referred to Meghan as his wife, a round of applause erupted from the crowd.

The 33-year-old Prince honored the new Duchess of Sussex by thanking her for handling everything so gracefully.

From the disappointment of not having her father, Thomas Markle Sr., walk her down the aisle, the staged photographs planned by Samantha Grant, her half-sister, to the verbal attacks conducted by Thomas Markle Jr., her half-brother.

In his speech, Prince Harry recognized everything endured by his wife, including the particular lessons regarding the Royal Family's History and traditions that she had to attend in order to be prepared for the big day.

The truth is that, despite all the challenges, the Royal Wedding went off without a hitch and everyone had a great time, especially the 200 guests invited to the private evening reception at Frogmore House.
