But as Prince Harry and Meghan celebrate their fourth wedding anniversary today, their lives look very different to 2018 - both in private and in public. No longer working royals, the two have stepped down from their official royal duties, and now live outside of the UK in Meghan's native California.Their social circle has also evolved, with some of those closest to the couple back in 2018, no longer part of their daily lives.The pair will be celebrating their fourth anniversary together which will most likely be observed in private at their Californian home with their son Archie and daughter Lilibet.
