One photographer was unhappy while shooting the nuptials.
Despite the happy day for Meghan and Harry, shooting the wedding was apparently a nightmare for one cameraman.
"I was there I hated the day, it was a miserable day," photographer Arthur Edwards told Daily Express in 2024. "I can tell you now it was the worst royal engagement I ever did, the worst royal wedding I ever did because Harry was determined to keep the newspapers away from it as much as possible."
"Everything was done on long lenses. It was hopeless. And when they went past in the carriage, they turned away from me," he went on.
The wedding was reportedly watched by 1.9 billion people worldwide at the time.
