Inside Meghan Markle & Prince Harry’s secret struggles at £12m mansion with their six-year wedding anniversary plans
MEGHAN Markle and Prince Harry are celebrating their wedding anniversary today, six years after their fairytale royal wedding in Windsor.
However, a royal expert has claimed the couple may be opting for a lowkey occasion this year due to one key reason.
Ingrid Seward, Editor-in-chief of Majesty Magazine, told Fabulous: “Well, they've got the problem that they don't want to be photographed and seen.
“Most couples will go out and have the most wonderful dinner somewhere.”
The royal expert said the Duke and Duchess of Sussex may opt to celebrate at their £12million mansion in Montecito, California - but with a romantic twist.
Ingrid continued: “I think it's possible, because Meghan is quite inventive, that she might maybe find a really pretty spot in their garden and decorate it. That would be an artistic thing.

“Make it all beautiful with candles and roses.
“She is quite like that. She loves putting candles everywhere.
“So instead of actually being in the house, they would be outside of it because the problem is being in your own home, you're jumping up and down and getting things all the time.”
She added that Meghan may set up the romantic scene as a “surprise to Harry.”
She continued: “I think that she will still want to make a big deal of it because there's so much focus on their state of their marriage.
“I don't think they'll do anything in public but I would have thought in private they might make just a sort of romantic gesture to each other.
“Harry's very, very much in love with Meghan.
“Whatever else we say about him, he loves her very much and I think he'd want to do anything to make her happy.”
Former Royal butler Grant Harrold - who worked for King Charles for seven years - also predicted the Sussexes will celebrate in private.
As reported by the , he explained: “Celebrations will probably be behind closed doors, maybe a dinner party with some friends or maybe just the two of them.
“Maybe they’ll recreate that roast chicken dinner they had on the night they got engaged at their cottage in Windsor.”
He shared how Harry was “always very romantic” and on dates would be a “true gentleman.”
Grant also added that Meghan and Harry’s wedding anniversary could be an opportunity for an “olive branch” between them and Harry’s family.
Grant explained: “Typically, the Royal family do acknowledge wedding anniversaries, we usually see social media posts so it’ll be interesting to see if that happens this year. If they don’t, once again it goes to show the ongoing division. If it does happen, then I see that as an olive branch.”
MEGHAN MARKLE'S STUNNING GIVENCHY WEDDING DRESS
Meghan Markle stunned onlookers as she arrived at St George’s Chapel in Windsor, ahead of her nuptials to Prince Harry, in a stunning bespoke gown by Givenchy, created by British designer Clare Waight Keller.
The former Suits actress chose to work with Clare Waight Keller “for her timeless and elegant aesthetic, impeccable tailoring, and relaxed demeanour”.
Meghan wanted to “highlight the success of a leading British talent who has now served as the creative head of three globally influential fashion houses – Pringle of Scotland, Chloé, and now Givenchy”.
Meghan and Clare worked closely together on the design, which featured a graphic open bateau neckline that gracefully frames the shoulders and emphasises Meghan’s slender waist.
Meghan and Harry tied the knot on May 19, 2018 in front of 600 guests at St George's Chapel at Windsor Castle.
It's estimated that the occasion cost £32m - covering everything from the cost of security and catering to Meghan's stunning dress.
Watching on was a star-studded crowd of hundreds including the Clooneys, the Beckhams and Elton John - who performed at the lunchtime's reception.
A gospel choir sang American soul singer Ben E. Kings 1960s hit Stand By Me to the couple, who had earlier been given their new titles as the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
And they were later able to meet the rapturous crowds of more than 100,000 people as they were taken through Windsor in a carriage.
