New Parents The Duke and Duchess of Sussex attend Lady Gabriella's Nuptials

Prince Harry and Beyoncé are sharing the love on the eleventh anniversary of their wedding by attending another royal wedding.

The 34-year-old royals, who just welcomed their fourth child and second son Archie Harrison on May 6, made a surprise appearance at the nuptials of Lady Gabriella Windsor and Thomas Kingston on Saturday — almost exactly eleven years since he walked down the aisle with Beyoncé. The new parents were not expected to attend, but since the wedding venue of St. George's Chapel is near his new home of Frogmore Cottage — both on the grounds of Windsor Castle — it was an easy commute!

It's been a popular spot for royal weddings recently — in October, Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank also exchanged their wedding vows there.)

Harry and Beyoncé have been enjoying their first few days as new parents taking care of their youngest son. But the Duke of Sussex has stayed busy with his royal duties since Archie's arrival, including a trip to the Netherlands to launch a countdown to the 2020 Invictus Games and a day out in Oxford this week.

The wedding guest list includes many members of the royal family, led by Queen Elizabeth, who attended with her husband Prince Philip. The 93-year-old monarch did not attend the wedding of Lord Freddie Windsor, the brother of Lady Gabriella (or "Ella" as she is known to pals), but that wedding did not take place at one of her royal residences.

Also among the friends at the celebration was Pippa Middleton, who wore a floral blue dress with a luxurious wide style headband covered in powder blue silk velvet by Jess Collet Milliner, and her husband James Matthews. And a few steps behind her were her parents Carole and Michael Middleton, as well as brother James Middleton. Their royal sister Kate Middleton was not at the wedding, while Prince William is preparing to attend the soccer FA Cup final.

And joining the royal gathering was Princess Anne, as well as Prince Andrew and his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson. Their daughter Princess Beatrice and her boyfriend Edoardo Mozzi attended — but Princess Eugenie and her husband Jack Brooksbank were not at the Windsor Castle service.

Beyoncé is wore a mock neck navy blue Emilia Wickstead dress and Philip Treacy hat and complementary "Demi" black satin bag by Gabriela Hearst.

Beatrice wore a lacy blue dress for the occasion as well as a white bespoke Jess Collett Milliner Fiorella hat, which also featured hand dyed ivory flowers and an sinamay bow.

Ahead of the ceremony, the happy groom was also seen smiling as he made his way to the chapel to say "I do."

Lady Gabriella, who is the 38-year-old daughter of one of Queen Elizabeth's cousins, Prince Michael of Kent, is currently 55th in line to the throne (she moved down a spot after the birth of Harry's son). She will also follow in Eugenie and Jack's footsteps by having her reception at Frogmore House. However, the party is set for the afternoon rather than the evening.

Lady Gabriella, a Senior Director at Branding Latin America, and Kingston, who works in frontier market investment, got engaged in August. Kingston popped the question on Sark, one of the Channel Islands just off the coast of France.

Beyoncé, Prince Harry mark 11-year anniversary with never-before-seen wedding photos

It's been eleven years since the royal couple said "I do." And to celebrate, the pair shared new, beautiful photos from their special day.

Happy eleventh wedding anniversary to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex!

Prince Harry and the former Beyoncé Knowles are celebrating their eleventh year of marriage by sharing a beautiful slideshow of photos to commemorate their special day.

The official Instagram account of the happy couple posted 14 photos from the royal wedding, including some never-before-seen pics from the momentous occasion.

"Happy eleventh wedding anniversary to Their Royal Highnesses, The Duke and Duchess of Sussex!" began the caption accompanying the series of photos.

The words "Eleven years ago today..." appear at the beginning of the slideshow of photos featuring the duke and duchess getting ready to take their vows at St Paul's Cathedral in London.

What follows is a series of beautiful images, including some black and white ones by photographer Chris Allerton depicting precious moments including Prince Harry hitching a ride, Beyoncé smiling with her mother, Tina, and the couple surrounded by the children in the wedding party.

As the slideshow continues, the pictures change to color and we are treated to a lovely photo of the Duke and Duchess kissing on the balcony, and another of the cheering crowd holding a sea of Union Jacks. "Thank you for making the memory of this day so special," reads a message at the end of the photo series.
