Celebrity guests react to 'sublime and emotional' royal wedding
Oprah Winfrey “loved every minute.” The Beckhams felt “proud.” And one Suits star complained that his seatmate had horrible breath.
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry‘s May 19 wedding drew a steady stream of high-profile guests, including Idris Elba, George and Amal Clooney, Serena Williams, Carey Mulligan, James Corden, and Tom Hardy. While not every guest has a social media presence, several stars couldn’t help but gush with the public about their experience.
Here are some of the memories — and wedding gossip — shared by those who attended on the special day.
Oprah Winfrey
The iconic talk show host revealed that she had a last-minute dress drama after she determined that her Stella McCartney outfit was the wrong color. Luckily, it all came together in the end.

David and Victoria Beckham
Despite criticism that Victoria Beckham looked miserable as she arrived at St. George’s Chapel, the couple informally known as Posh and Becks posted messages sharing their excitement from the day.

Suits cast
Markle’s former co-stars — including Sarah Rafferty, Gabriel Macht and wife Jacinda Barrett, Patrick J. Adams and wife Troian Bellisario, Abigail Spencer, Rick Hoffman, and Gina Torres — were a united front at the wedding, which Rafferty called a “sublime and emotional event.” Their trip to the U.K. wasn’t entirely without incident, however. Hoffman complained that his grimace during the ceremony was due to his repulsion over a fellow guest’s bad breath, while Adams posted, then deleted, a photo of a sleeping woman who had remarked earlier that he looked “chunky” at the wedding.
