    Prince Harry and Meghan Markle tied the knot at St. George's Chapel, Windsor Castle on May 19. Only two days after, they released an official wedding portrait. The newlyweds are all smiles, looking gorgeous and so in love.

    More in love perhaps than they were a little over a month after they got engaged when they released their engagement portraits back in December? The engagement portraits were taken by Alexi Lubomirski at Frogmore House, where Prince Charles hosted a dinner for Harry and Meghan later in the evening.

    Lubomirski also took their official wedding portrait, and the images are actually quite similar. We can't help but notice the way they lean into each other in both. Clearly the two are not afraid to show their affection.

    Even though that's their formal wedding party photo, we noticed that it's slightly more casual than Kate Middleton and Prince William's in 2011, where everyone including the page boys and bridesmaids were standing at attention.

    Still, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge did goof off a bit at their wedding too.
