It has been six years since the fairytale wedding day of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, who tied the knot in front of an estimated 1.9 billion strong global audience on 19 May 2018.
Looking back on the most memorable moments from their nuptials at St George's Chapel in Windsor, body language expert Darren Stanton has analysed every detail of the couple's wedding, revealing some telling details about Prince Harry and Meghan's relationship.
Speaking on behalf of Betfair Casino, Darren explained that Harry's body language gave away his nerves on his wedding day.
Prince Harry was 'nervous' while Meghan remained 'calm and confident'
"He displayed a few nervous smiles, but they were portraying genuine emotion," says Darren.

As for the Duke's radiant bride, Meghan was far more collected, explains Darren. “Meghan was calm and confident on her wedding day with no nervousness. She was very collected and everything seemed to fall into place as she arrived.

"It shows how connected they are as a couple. It means that when they are together and can be themselves, but also feel comfortable when they have each other by their side."
