Did not manage to snag an invitation to Prince Harry and Markle's Meghan Royal wedding this past May? There's a chance to relive the wedding magic, complete with commentary from the Duke and Duchess of Sussex themselves!

The couple – who is currently in the middle of their royal tour of Australia, Fiji, Tonga, and New Zealand – shared audio recordings in the new exhibition on their royal wedding, highlighting the special moments of their day leading up to it.

Meghan's stunning Givenchy gown and veil are on display at Windsor Castle for the exhibition, alongside a identical replica of Prince Harry's uniform and the bridesmaid and page boy outfits of Princess Charlotte and Prince George.

In one recording, Meghan recalls the "surreal day" she and Prince Harry went to Buckingham Palace to meet with his grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, and selected to complete her bridal ensemble.

"When it came to the tiara on the day, I was very fortunate to be able to choose this gorgeous art deco-style headband tiara," the Duchess says on the recording. "Harry and I had gone to Buckingham Palace to meet with Her Majesty the Queen to select one of the options that were there, which was an incredibly surreal day as you can imagine."

Meghan notes that her sparkling tiara quickly "stood out" to her, and Prince Harry quips, "I should not have really been there."

Meghan also opens up on her wedding dress, saying it was "very important" for her to have a female designer who was British, "because I wanted to embrace my new home in that way."

The veil and dress took 3,900 hours to complete and required 50 people working to finish the look.

The exhibition is currently on display at the Grand Reception Room where Queen Elizabeth hosted the wedding couple after their wedding back in May.
