Royal wedding: Duke and Duchess of Sussex release official photos

    (CNN) — The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have released several official photographs taken on their wedding day by renowned fashion and portrait photographer Alexi Lubomirski.

The photographs were taken on Saturday afternoon at Windsor Castle shortly after the couple returned from their two-mile carriage procession around the town.

In one photograph, the newly-married couple are joined by the Queen, the Duke of Edinburgh, the Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and Meghan\’s mother, Doria Ragland. The group are surrounded by the page boys and bridesmaids.

Another photograph, also taken in the Green Drawing Room at Windsor Castle, is a little less formal with the couple and just the children.

\”They feel so lucky to have been able to share their day with all those gathered in Windsor and those who watched on television across the UK, Commonwealth, and around the world.\”

On Sunday, Lubomirski shared a photograph of himself walking into St. George\’s Chapel the day before alongside his wife on Instagram.

\”Went to a little wedding today 😉 …… Wow.. What a fantastic, surreal and wonderful day! Amazing to experience it as a guest and even more incredible to experience it as a photographer,\” Lubomirski posted.
