A NERVOUS Prince Harry was clearly emotional when he first saw Meghan, but managed to whisper some private words with her. Here’s what he said.

THE first words an emotional Prince Harry uttered to his beautiful bride as she greeted him inside St George’s Chapel have been revealed.

Harry had been visibly nervous as he awaited Meghan Markle’s arrival, but his face broke out into a big smile when he glimpsed her coming toward him from the end of the aisle.

When Meghan finally arrived alongside him at the high altar, with the world watching, he shared some softly spoken words to her. It was hard to tell everything that was being said, but at least one sentence was picked up by those watching.

“You look amazing,” he told her, as she beamed back at him.

The pair looked radiant as they recited their traditional vows — although Meghan omitted one key word from hers — and exchanged wedding rings.

Earlier, Meghan had been led down the aisle toward Harry by Prince Charles, who got the call-up to replace her father Thomas Markle Senior after he pulled out due to health issues.

While Prince Charles walked Meghan a portion of the way, she made the bold choice to complete part of the bridal procession alone.

After being dropped off at the chapel’s entrance, a visibly nervous and excited Meghan then walked down the aisle of the nave unescorted. Harry’s beaming father took her by the arm as she approached the quire, where the guests were seated, and chaperoned her to the foot of the altar.

Meghan looked stunning in her gown, designed by Clare Waight Keller of Givenchy.

In a stunning break from tradition, the glowing bride then approached Prince Harry alone — effectively meaning no one “gave her away.”

Following the service, the couple walked hand-in-hand back down the aisle, before sharing a sweet kiss at the top of the stairs outside the chapel.
