Piers Morgan is giving Meghan Markle another blow, questioning a statement she made about her alleged secret marriage to Prince Harry.
Morgan faced an immense reaction earlier this month after saying that she simply did not believe some of the statements made by the Duchess of Sussex in a revealing interview with Oprah Winfrey, during which the couple made shocking statements about the royal family and their working time. as senior members. The announcer ended up leaving the set of “Good Morning Britain” before quitting his job the day after the interview aired in the UK.
On Monday, the TV host further questioned Markle’s credibility by sharing a Daily Mail article on Twitter. The article reports that the couple’s allegations of getting married in a private ceremony, days before their luxurious royal wedding, were contradicted with the release of their marriage certificate by the General Registry.

“Do we still have to believe her?” Morgan wrote in a tweet that accompanies the article.
During the long two-hour conversation with Winfrey, the couple claimed that they had already married before the May 19, 2018 ceremony. Harry confirmed in the interview that the ceremony included only him, his fiancee and the Archbishop of Canterbury, who also celebrated the ceremony on May 19.
Although the couple may have conducted a personal and private ceremony, it was not an official wedding, as it would not meet certain criteria established by the church.

MEGHAN MARKLE REMEMBER THAT SHE ‘DIDN’T WANT TO BE ALIVE’
The official rule book for clergy provided by the Church of England sets out the very specific circumstances under which the Church defines a legal marriage. The book states that “a couple who are already legally married cannot choose to remarry, unless there is some doubt as to the validity of the previous marriage”.
Furthermore, Harry’s claim that the private ceremony took place only between him, his fiancee and the archbishop presents another problem. According to the rule book, two or more witnesses must be present at the wedding to be considered legally binding. It is not clear whether the archbishop counts as one of the witnesses.

The rules also stipulate that a private, exclusive ceremony in the garden creates a problem, as the public must have unrestricted access to the building during any wedding ceremony to allow valid objections against the wedding.
