Seven years ago today, Prince Harry tied the knot with Meghan Markle in a lavish ceremony at St. George's Chapel at Windsor Castle. Since the star-studded affair, which raked in nearly two billion viewers around the globe, the duke and duchess have stepped down as senior royals, launched their own media empire and welcomed two children. Now, Markle is honoring her partner with a romantic tribute on Instagram, complete with a heartwarming mood board that details their love story.

In the collage, the Suits alum shared a collection of throwback photos dating back to their first year as a couple, and it features quite a few highlights, including a sonogram of baby Archie and striking PDA pics against sunset backdrops. Markle wrote, "A lifetime of stories. Thanks to all of you (whether by our side, or from afar) who have loved and supported us throughout our love story—we appreciate you. Happy anniversary!"

Quite a few pieces stand out in her collection, like the candid photo of Markle and her husband smiling on their wedding day, and the stunning image of the former actress walking behind her kids at the beach. Still, there was one snap that immediately caught my eye. Towards the bottom right, there's an adorable image of Prince Archie bonding with his sister, Lilibet.

In the holiday-themed snap, which includes a glimpse of the family's Christmas tree, Archie embraces his baby sister and appears to kiss her on the nose as she looks up adoringly at her big brother, indicating that the royal siblings have a genuine bond.

Prince Harry and Markle welcomed their son, Archie, in May 2019, and he became a big brother at two years old. Soon after Lilibet was born in June 2021, Markle appeared on the Ellen DeGeneres Show and revealed that Archie "loves being a big brother."

The royal said, "Someone told H and I, 'When you have one kid it's a hobby, and two children is parenting.' Suddenly we realized, 'Oh, right.' Everyone talks about what it's like for the second child, but no one talks about the adjustment for the first child when the second one comes along. So I think they have this moment of, 'Oh, this is fun. Oh, this how it is now.'"

Harry also revealed an exclusive interview with CBS that he's quite content with having a son and daughter. He said. "To have any child, any one or any two, would have been amazing. But to have a boy and then a girl, what more could you ask for? Now, we’ve got our family. We’ve got the four of us and our two dogs, and it’s great.”

Wishing the two the happiest wedding anniversary, here's to many more.
