Royal Surprise: Prince Harry, Meghan Markle Exchange Awesome Anniversary Gifts!
Throughout their marriage, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have proven their undying love for each other. The royal couple recently marked their second wedding anniversary, and as expected, they celebrated it in a lowkey way.
Last Tuesday, May 19, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex reportedly celebrated their anniversary by spending a quiet time together. According to a Page Six report, Prince Harry and Meghan took some time off their charity works to mark their anniversary and spend time with their 1-year-old son Archie and their dogs.
"They're laying low, taking the day to relax and be together with no distractions. No work. No calls. Just family time and keeping it simple," the insider said.
Meanwhile, another source told Vanity Fair that Harry and Meghan are "quite reflective" about the occasion, especially after a year of big changes.
"The last year has been pretty epic, and all the changes they have lived through and gone through are huge...To be honest, they're only just coming up for air," the source said.
The insider added that the couple is now in a good place after getting away from a toxic situation and allowing themselves to create a new life.
The Sussexes are currently staying in the $18 million Beverly Hills home owned by actor Tyler Perry. The 25,000-square-foot mansion is located in a gated community in Los Angeles and reportedly comes with an advanced security system and a breathtaking pool.
