The images were taken by Alexi Lubomirski at Windsor Castle following the carriage procession.

A Kensington Palace spokesman said: “The Duke and Duchess of Sussex would like to thank everyone who took part in the celebrations of their wedding on Saturday. They feel so lucky to have been able to share their day with all those gathered in Windsor and also all those who watched the wedding on television across the UK, Commonwealth, and around the world.

“Their Royal Highnesses are delighted with these official portraits taken by Alexi Lubomirski and are happy to be able to share them today. They would also like to say thank you for all of the generous messages of support they have received.”

Mr Lubomirski said: “It has been an incredible honour and privilege to document The Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s inspiring journey of love, hope and family; from the engagement photos, all the way through to the official wedding and family portraits on Saturday.

“This has been a beautiful chapter in my career and life, that I will happily never forget.”

Did you miss the royal wedding? Here are some of our favourite moments from the big day!

The arrival of the bride

Meghan wowed the crowds in her simple, stunning pure white wedding gown by Clare Waight Keller at Givenchy.

The demure dress with three-quarter length sleeves and open bateau neckline was hailed for being timeless and classic.

Meghan, who wore the glittering Queen Mary’s Diamond Bandeau tiara, loaned to her by the Queen, was dressed in a delicate, stunning five-metre veil.

The silk tulle veil was embroidered with flowers from each of the 53 Commonwealth nations at Meghan’s request.

The procession of the bride

She may be an actress used to appearing in the limelight but Meghan looked completely composed as she processed through the Nave of the chapel alone.

Two pageboys held the end of her veil, as the other pageboys and bridesmaids followed behind.

At the start of the Quire, she was met by the Prince of Wales, whom she had asked to accompany her down the aisle of the Quire when her father Thomas Markle pulled out of attending due to ill health.

Meghan tucked her arm though her now father-in-law’s, with Harry saying “thank you” to Charles as they reached him.

“You look amazing”

An emotional Harry was captivated by his bride as they met at the altar, telling her: “You look amazing. I missed you.”

Meghan and Harry, who spent the night before the wedding apart in separate hotels, looked blissfully in love during the ceremony, tenderly holding hands and gazing into each other’s eyes.

The passionate, dramatic delivery by US Bishop Michael Curry was something not normally seen at reserved British royal weddings.

Charles and Doria

The father of the groom and the mother of the bride came together as they moved to join Harry and Meghan in the side transept to witness the signing of the marriage register.

With the Prince of Wales flashing Doria a beaming smile, she took his hand as they stepped out of view for the only private part of the ceremony, away from the cameras.

Princess Charlotte

Playful three-year-old bridesmaid Princess Charlotte stuck out her tongue as she arrived by car.

The confident princess later showed how accomplished she is at royal appearances – by waving Harry and Meghan off in their carriage procession.

The Duke of Edinburgh

Less than two months after major surgery, Philip, 96, made a defiant, purposeful and unaided march into St George’s Chapel to watch his grandson Harry get married.

Philip, who has been recovering after a hip replacement operation, did so without the use of an aid.

The empty seat in the chapel

An empty seat left in the chapel next to Prince William led many to speculate it was a symbolic gesture for Princess Diana.

However royal reporter Rebecca English claims it’s actually protocol to leave the seat in front of the Queen free, so as not to block her view.
