It's been a whole year since the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's highly-anticipated docuseries Harry & Meghan dropped on Netflix, which gave fans an unprecedented look inside private moments from their wedding day.

In the opening episode, Prince Harry narrates: "The craziest thing is, I think this love story is only just getting started." The couple then shared a previously unseen image captured on their big day in 2018 - and it includes the Prince and Princess of Wales' children Prince George and Princess Charlotte! Take a look in the clip below...

WATCH: Prince Harry and Meghan reveal unseen wedding moment

Prince George and Princess Charlotte, who acted as pageboy and bridesmaid respectively, are pictured beaming at the camera beside their aunt Meghan and uncle Harry.

Prince George showed none of his characteristic shyness, grinning like a Cheshire cat in the heartwarming photograph, while his younger sister Charlotte was photographed with a charming smile.

The unseen group shot is far less formal than many official wedding photographs captured by royal photographer Alexi Lubomirski.

Princess Charlotte, who had just celebrated her third birthday at the time of the royal wedding, walked down the aisle alongside Meghan at St George's Chapel, looking like a mini princess in her flowing frock and pretty flower garland.

Meanwhile, Prince George, who was nearly five, fitted the part perfectly in a military-style outfit. Reflecting on his fairytale wedding at St George's Chapel in Windsor, Prince Harry narrates in the episode: "She [Meghan] sacrificed everything that she ever knew, the freedom that she had, to join me in my world.

"And then, pretty soon after that, I ended up sacrificing everything that I knew to join her in her world."

Several moments from Meghan and Harry's royal wedding on 19 May 2018 will stay with us forever, from the Duchess' trailblazing choice to walk herself down the aisle, to the couple's first kiss as man and wife.

But very little is known about their wedding reception at Frogmore Hall in Windsor, and next to no photos have ever been released from inside the celebrations, until now. See more behind-the-scenes photos from their Netflix docuseries...

Harry also made some bombshell claims about his relationship in his memoir Spare, including commenting on the mystery around Meghan and Kate's disagreements over Princess Charlotte's bridesmaid dress. According to Harry, Kate wrote to Meghan in a text message: "Charlotte's dress is too big, too long, too baggy. She cried when she tried it on at home."

In response, Meghan is alleged to have written: "Right, and I told you the tailor has been standing by since 8am. Here. At KP. Can you take Charlotte to have it altered, as the other mums are doing?" Instead of complying, Harry said that Kate replied: "All the dresses need to be remade," before eventually agreeing to have it altered. The incident is said to have left Duchess Meghan in tears.
