Other famous friends in attendance included Oprah Winfrey, George and Amal Clooney, James Corden and Julia Carey, and David and Victoria Beckham.

Priyanka Chopra, Abigail Spencer and other Suits co-stars

Priyanka Chopra, Abigail Spencer, and Meghan's other Suits co-stars were among the 600 guests who attended the royal wedding ceremony of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry on May 19, 2018, at St. George's Chapel in Windsor Castle.

Chopra, an Indian actress and model, arrived at the ceremony with Spencer, who played Meghan's onscreen love interest on Suits. Chopra wore a custom lavender suit by Vivienne Westwood, a Philip Treacy hat, Lorraine Schwartz earrings, and shoes by Off White x Jimmy Choo. Spencer and Chopra did not sit with their Suits co-stars in the nave of the chapel, reflecting their close bond with Meghan.

Other Suits co-stars in attendance included Patrick J. Adams, Rick Hoffman, Sarah Rafferty, and Gabriel Macht. Adams, who played Meghan's television partner on the show, posted a tribute to his former co-star on Instagram, calling Prince Harry a "lucky man." While these co-stars were invited to the ceremony, it is rumoured that they were not invited to the intimate, 200-person evening reception hosted by Prince Charles at Frogmore House.

In addition to her Suits co-stars, Meghan's wedding guest list included a mix of celebrities, royalty, and friends. Notable guests included Serena Williams, David and Victoria Beckham, George and Amal Clooney, Oprah Winfrey, Idris Elba, and Elton John.

Serena Williams and Alexis Ohanian

Serena Williams and her husband, Alexis Ohanian, were among the 600 guests who attended Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's wedding ceremony at St. George's Chapel in Windsor Castle on May 19, 2018. Williams, a professional tennis player, and Markle became close friends after meeting at a celebrity charity football event in 2014. Markle even wrote about their friendship on her blog, The Tig, calling Williams a "confidante".

Williams and Ohanian, the co-founder of Reddit, sat in the intimate Quire for the ceremony, alongside the royal family. They were also guests at the 200-person Frogmore House party later that evening. Williams wore Atelier Versace, while Ohanian was described as "dapperly dressed".

Williams had originally been scheduled to play in the Madrid and Italian Opens around the time of the wedding, but she withdrew following the advice of her coach, Patrick Mouratoglu.

Other famous friends of the couple who attended the wedding included George and Amal Clooney, Oprah Winfrey, Idris Elba, James Corden, and Julia Carey.

George and Amal Clooney

Amal Clooney stood out at the wedding in a stunning Stella McCartney day dress and a matching hat, while George Clooney looked dapper in a gray suit. The Clooneys even played the role of bartenders at the reception, serving guests with Casamigos tequila—a company George co-founded in 2013.

Oprah Winfrey

Oprah's attendance at the wedding came as a surprise to some, as she had only met Meghan once before. However, in the following years, the two women developed a close friendship. Oprah has since publicly supported the couple and collaborated with Prince Harry on a documentary series about mental health. She also gave Archie, the couple's son, a collection of books as a "welcome to the world" gift.

Oprah's appearance at the wedding, alongside other notable guests, was seen as a "cultural moment" by many. She sat alongside other celebrities, including Serena Williams and George Clooney, and later described the event as "more than a wedding."

Markus Anderson and Izzy May

Anderson's connection with Meghan Markle dates back several years, and he has been described as a long-time friend of Meghan. Anderson's work at Soho House, a private member's club, provided the setting for Meghan and Harry's first date. This significant role in their love story likely contributed to the strong bond between Anderson and the couple.

Izzy May, who attended the wedding with Anderson, remains somewhat of a mystery. There is limited information available about her relationship with Markus Anderson or Meghan Markle. However, her presence at the wedding as Anderson's plus one suggests that she is at least an acquaintance of the couple.

The wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle was a highly exclusive event, and the guest list included a mix of royalty, celebrities, and close friends. The presence of Markus Anderson and Izzy May at this prestigious event highlights their significance in the lives of the royal couple, particularly in the early stages of their relationship.
