The royal wedding between Meghan Markle and Prince Harry was, as many royal weddings are, a spectacle.

While people around the world tuned in to view the ceremony, Markle, 39, and Harry, 36, knew something most people didn't -- they were already married.

During the "Oprah with Meghan and Harry: a CBS Primetime Special," Markle revealed that just days before the massive event, she'd already said, "I do."

"Three days before our wedding we got married," she shared.

Harry is Markle's second husband, her first being Trevor Engelson, a film and television producer.

The former "Suits" star was married to the filmmaker from 2011-2013.

The Duchess said that she entered England's most famous family "naively because I didn't grow up watching the royal family."
