Despite being the ultimate influencers (literally everything Kate Middleton wears sells out in minutes), the British royal family couldn’t be more private. Like, none of them have Instagram accounts (Meghan Markle had to fully delete hers upon marrying Prince Harry), they don’t share family photos except on Christmas and birthdays, and they’re pretty much only seen during public engagements.

However! The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are out here completely breaking the mold with their history-making Netflix docuseries. Not only did they shine a light on what goes on inside the palace (none of it seems great!), but they also shared tons of personal photos from the early days of their relationship, not to mention party pics from their wedding reception, private moments from life at home with their kids Archie and Lilibet, and snapshots of the first trip they took together. And honestly, some of these photos went by blink-and-you’ll-miss-it fast in the doc, so we went ahead and gathered them all in one place.

Come for screenshots of Meghan and Harry’s first FaceTimes together, and stay for truly a gazillion photos of them dancing at their wedding while Elton John chilled nearby. Oh, and if you’ve ever wondered how the royals live behind those palace walls, there are a ton of photos of Harry’s home Nottingham Cottage (where Prince William and Kate Middleton also lived together with baby Prince George) coming atcha.

Who doesn’t have fancy English tea with their casual prince boyfriend?

One of Harry and Meghan’s first dates!

Aaand a photo from their *actual* first date.

My photo booth pics definitely look this good—it’s fine.

Mom and Dad.

Sorry, not done with these yet.

They look so happy and relaxed!

The fact that they took screenshots of their FaceTimes. 😭

And the fact that they shared them with us. 😭😭😭

If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to sleep in the same bed as Prince Harry, here ya go.

Pretty sure that’s a photo of Harry stuck on Meghan’s laptop.

Meghan took a leap of faith and joined Harry in Africa for an impromptu trip—despite having gone on only a few dates.

Their vacation pics >>>>>.

I’m going to need several moments.

Rose and Jack vibes, but she’d let him on the raft.

To think this was happening and the rest of us had literally no idea.

Nothing but respect for MY king of England.

Is it weird if I frame this, y/n?

Me when there’s free pizza in the break room.

Not me crying over some Polaroids of a couple I’ve never met….

*zooms in*

DROP THE SINGLE, HARRY.

Not your average duke and duchess.

I demand to know who’s taking these photos and how I can replace them.

Behold: Meghan and Harry’s last night of privacy before news of their relationship went public.

Naturally, Harry had to wear a full disguise.

And his cousin Princess Eugenie happened to be there!

With her then-boyfriend (now-husband) Jack Brooksbank.

FYI, Eugenie and Meghan are still close friends.

Here’s Meghan chilling with Harry and his friends ahead of their engagement.

This is the same month they got engaged, FYI.

And here’s Meghan at Nottingham Cottage—where she and Harry lived during the early days of their relationship.

At this point, Harry’s ukulele is straight-up third-wheeling.

In case you were wondering whether Harry is a dog person or a cat person.

LITERAL PHOTO OF PRINCE HARRY DOWN ON ONE KNEE.

And a photo right after Meghan said yes, with her iconic dog stealing the spotlight.

Life was pretty sweet for these two before the tabloids messed it all up.

Like, they were so content and happy!

After their engagement, Meghan was thrust into the spotlight—here she is trying on an outfit for one of her royal events.

But mostly, they tried to keep things chill.

Chill, but not so chill that you don’t have a photographer document your cute love story.

And thank god, because this photo is everything.

Presenting the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.

Hang it in the Met, etc.

Perfection.

Get excited—we’ve arrived at the BTS wedding pics section of this gallery.

Here’s a zoomed-out photo from their reception, so you can appreciate the full scale.

And here are Meghan and Harry casually cutting their cake with a sword.

Elton John performed (normal).

And Meghan’s mom, Doria, was into it, to say the least.

Both Harry and Meghan gave toasts (she read hers aloud during their Netflix doc).

And there was a balcony moment where the Sussexes toasted their guests from up high.

And then kissed!

Then? Everyone danced the night away.

Not sure what Harry’s doing, but I approve.

This is the face of pure happiness.

FYI, they were dancing to “Land of 1,000 Dances.”

When I dip, you dip, we dip.

How can I go back in time and get invited to this party?

Just now noticing the ceiling full of hanging flowers.

You know you’ve made it when Elton John is this happy to see you.

While some of Meghan’s family members didn’t attend her wedding, her friends did!

Meanwhile, here’s Harry’s crew.

More obligatory spinning photos.

When you realize you’re royal, lol.

So many memorable moments.

Not to mention romance.

And it was all capped off with some fireworks.

Before they moved into Frogmore Cottage, Meghan and Harry enjoyed life as newlyweds in Nottingham Cottage—aka Nott Cott.

Despite being on palace grounds, the home was relatively small and cozy.

Meghan gardened.

And Harry did whatever this is.

Which clearly amused Meghan.

Tag yourself—I’m the dog.

And their cozy living room—complete with Union Jack placemats.

We also got a look at their kitchen (featuring another cute dog).

And Meghan pregnant with baby Archie.

They took another trip back to that photo booth for some bump-kissing pics.

And Meghan took some mirror selfies.

Once Archie was born, Meghan and Harry officially moved to Frogmore Cottage.

And got some time away from palace life.

I need this hat in adult.

Here is Archie with his nanny Lorren Khumalo!

And taking a bath with his parents.

A framer. 😍

A 1st birthday party fit for a prince.

Meghan and Harry moved to Vancouver shortly before stepping down from senior royal duties and shared some moments from their life there.

Including bb Archie’s first time seeing snow!

And taking a ride on a suitcase.

And Harry doing a cold plunge.

Meghan and Harry returned to England for their final royal engagements, where they visited Frogmore Cottage. And they documented the whole trip!

They had…a lot of stuff to go through.

Like, a lot.

And for the most part, the vibe was happy.

Especially as Meghan and Harry looked through their photos.

Like this cuteness.

But Harry said it was also bittersweet because they’d planned to make a life there, which ultimately didn’t work out.

This photo kinda says it all.

Not sure when this one was taken, but it was shared during the part of the Sussexes’ documentary that explored them leaving England.

Oh, this? Just Meghan’s face after her very last royal engagement.

She and Harry made sure to toast their staff before leaving….

And their exit was fully documented.

Like, there are a lot of photos, lol.

Meghan cried saying bye to Harry (who’d be joining her later).

And it was a super-bittersweet moment.

Meghan and Harry eventually moved to California, where Meghan became pregnant with their daughter, Lilibet.

Who is literally too cute for words.

Like…her face!

Her pout!

This tiny wee hat!

Meghan is clearly thriving these days (and Lili is so big!).

Gonna assume this was Valentine’s Day based on the balloons.

These two officially have their go-to pose.

Anyway! We’ll leave you with this picture of Meghan reading to Archie!
