PRINCE Harry and Meghan Markle have become the Duke and Duchess of Sussex after a wedding unlike any other.

The stunning bride wore Givenchy in front of an A-list crowd, while the new Duke wore a military uniform made of blue doeskin paired with a white buckskin belt.

And their reception attire was no less dashing. Meghan Markle showed off an elegant Stella McCartney halter-neck gown, while Prince Harry donned a smart suit.

George and Amal Clooney, Victoria and David Beckham, tennis star Serena Williams, and American talk show queen Oprah Winfrey watched on as the former Suits star, 36, tied the knot with Prince Harry, 33, the sixth-in-line to the British throne.
