Meghan Markle’s dazzling royal wedding to Prince Harry is back in the spotlight, thanks to a headline-grabbing Channel 5 documentary claiming the 2018 celebration ignited years of palace turmoil.
Titled Harry & Meghan: The Wedding That Split Two Families, the special dives deep into what really happened behind closed doors, featuring dramatic reconstructions and exclusive insider testimony. According to the programme, Meghan’s fairytale day, watched by millions worldwide, was also the moment deep cracks began to show within the monarchy.
The 90-minute documentary highlights key flashpoints, from alleged tensions between Meghan and palace aides to the now-infamous bridesmaid dress row that reportedly spiralled into a clash between two of the Royal Family’s most senior women. It also explores how growing rifts between Princes William and Harry worsened in the aftermath.
Social media erupted as the episode aired, with some viewers calling it a thinly veiled attempt to divert attention from more serious royal matters. One user posted, “They’re hiding something much bigger.” Others branded it “unmissable TV,” with one fan adding, “The way they portray Meghan is unintentionally hilarious!”
Regardless of opinion, the programme has reignited debate over the wedding that was meant to unite — but may have divided — Britain’s most famous family.
