Saturday May 19, 2018 was supposed to be Princesses Harry (38) And Duchess Meghan (41) happiest day. That May Day they would give each other their yes and with that they would become husband and wife.
However, the time to come was to be characterized by fear and threats. In the Netflix documentary series ‘Meghan and Harry’, the couple say that serious measures were being considered before the wedding day.
Caught “cheating”: – Unacceptable
– He became a turtle
The Duchess was well used to media reports and says in the documentary series that the “rude” cases came on a conveyor belt.
But the 41-year-old hasn’t just had to deal with the tabloid press. She also received a wave of threats and shortly before the wedding the police announced that a packet of white powder had been sent to the Duchess.
According to The Guardian This was investigated as a hate crime. The package also contained a letter with racist content.
– It was right after the terrorist attacks, right? So there was great concern about the wedding, explains the 41-year-old in the documentary series third episode.
– It was so scary and they talked about having snipers.
The outfit surprises
Even the discussion of having snipers didn’t end the media attention around the wedding.
“Sniper scare around Harry and Meghan’s carriage ride,” it rang Times a few days before the wedding. On the wedding day itself, she wrote the tabloid The mirror that snipers had spread like “a ring of steel” across the roof of Windsor.
The Duchess says she reacted by withdrawing.
– Behind the scenes, I became like a turtle.
Several hundred million
According to BBC the costs for the wedding security were estimated to have been around NOK 329 million. This accounted for the bulk of the wedding’s expenses, the paper said.
This included snipers, plainclothes cops, and an extensive drone system.
