Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have thanked everyone from around the world who helped them celebrate their wedding.

The newlyweds - who will now be known as the Duke and Duchess of Sussex - tied the knot on Saturday at St George's Chapel at Windsor Castle and the nuptials were watched by millions of people around the globe. In the UK alone 18 million people - a quarter of all Britons - tuned in on their televisions to see the American actress join the British royal family.

The happy couple have now released a statement via Kensington Palace's social media channels to show their gratitude to everyone who watched them get wed and the people who came to Windsor, England, to cheer them on.

The statement read: "The Duke and Duchess would like to thank everyone who took part in the celebrations of their wedding.

"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."
