One guest at the wedding told People of Prince Harry’s speech, “It was very off-the-cuff, which was lovely. He promised that all the Americans wouldn’t steal the swords and said, ‘Please, when you leave, be quiet as you don’t want to wake the neighbours,’ which was quite fun.”

“It was more than you would ever imagine it to be,” they added. “It did feel like we were really part of their very special occasion. It just felt about the two of them, which was great.”
