Happy one year anniversary to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle!

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex commemorated their first one year anniversary on Sunday by releasing new, behind the scenes photos from their royal wedding at Windsor Castle’s St. George’s Chapel on their Instagram account, @sussexroyal.

The royal couple, who recently welcomed their first child, son Archie, shared a slideshow of newly released wedding photos, HuffPost reports. In their slideshow of wedding pictures, Harry and Meghan chose to feature the song “This Little Light of Mine,” which is the song they processed out of the church to. The slideshow included snapshots of Harry with his brother, Prince William, as well as touching photos of Meghan getting ready to walk down the aisle with her now-father-in-law, Prince Charles, and Meghan holding hands with her mother, Doria Ragland.

“We hope you enjoy reliving this moment, and seeing some behind the scenes photos from this special day,” the Instagram post read.

“Thank you for all of the love and support from so many of you around the world. Each of you made this day even more meaningful,” Harry and Meghan added.

One week ago, the royal couple posted a special Mother’s Day message on Instagram, celebrating Meghan’s first Mother’s Day since giving birth to the couple’s first child, Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor, born on May 6th.

Harry and Meghan introduced their newborn son, the first American and British biracial baby born into the royal family, to the public on May 8th.

“It’s magic. It’s pretty amazing,” Meghan told the press, as Harry held their son. “I have the two best guys in the world, so I’m really happy.”

“He’s just been the dream, so it’s been a special couple days,” she later said, and thanked the public for “all the well wishes and the kindness.”

The photo op with the new family of three took place inside St. George’s Hall at Windsor Castle, which was where Harry and Meghan held their daytime wedding reception, ABC News reports.

From their wedding to the arrival of their new son, Harry and Meghan have had quite the memorable first year of marriage. And we couldn’t be any happier for them. Happy anniversary, Harry and Meghan!
