Meghan Markle saw her drama teacher during carriage ride

The crowds outside Windsor Castle, where Meghan Markle and Prince Harry tied the knot on Saturday, defied belief: thousands of people crowded the lawns hoping to get a glimpse of the royal newlyweds as they embarked on their first carriage ride as husband and wife.

But for Meghan Markle, one person in the crowd stood out: her old drama teacher.

ITV News had Gigi Perreau on the ground as their special guest, and just as Perreau started speculating as to whether the newly crowned Duchess of Sussex would recognise her old teacher, she did:

“Oh my God” screams Meghan as her old drama teacher Gigi Perreau manages to catch her eye in the crowd! Two seconds before I said do you think she’d recognise you! She was right! @itv @itvnews pic.twitter.com/6QMqLV1lp3
