A royal photographer has decried Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's wedding day as "miserable" as he and other members of the British press were made to feel unwelcome.
The couple celebrated their sixth wedding anniversary earlier this month, and while the gloriously sunny day left many guests and spectators in a good mood the occasion was far less enjoyable for those reporting on it.
The Sun's royal photographer Arthur Edwards explained how the Prince's hostile attitude to the media was already evident as he struggled to get some good wedding snaps.
He said: "It was the worst royal wedding I ever did because Harry was determined to keep the newspapers away from it as much as possible.
"Everything was done on long lenses...the photographers they engaged for the job were five feet away, it was hopeless. And then the carriage shot when they went past me in the carriage they looked the other way."

Mr Edwards added that he thought the press were "made to feel unwelcome", saying: "It wasn't just me, it was the whole of the British press.
"They were in many ways badly treated. I think Harry was angry because of some of the things that had been said about Meghan, and quite rightly - some of the things that were said about Meghan during the engagement were pretty harsh."
Less than two years after their wedding day the Duke and Duchess of Sussex announced their intention to step down as working royals, with them later moving to California.

Harry's nerves on his wedding day were laid bare by a body language analyst, with Darren Stanton saying on behalf of Betfair Live Casino: "Harry was feeling nervous on his wedding day. He displayed a few nervous smiles, but they were portraying genuine emotion.
"He tried to convey confidence, but his nerves took control. When he was waiting at the altar with William, you could see his face flushing, as his cheeks went red.
"But when Meghan arrived, he was more relaxed and could be more at ease with himself."
On the other hand Meghan's aligned posture, head held high and calm smile showed how composed she was.
Mr Stanton elaborated on the Duchess: "These are all signs of feeling at peace and confident about themselves. Meghan puts Harry at his ease.
"She was very collected and everything seemed to fall into place as she arrived. She took the lead and had a lot of control."
Just under a year after their wedding, on May 6 2019, Harry and Meghan welcomed their son Prince Archie.
Their daughter Princess Lilibet was born on June 4 2021 in California, after they had quit the Royal Family, with Lilibet only visiting the UK once in her short life so far.
