The family tweeted its thanks late Saturday night while Harry and his bride were attending a private soiree hosted by Harry’s father, Prince Charles.
Kensington Palace did not release details, but photographs showed Markle, now known formally as the Duchess of Sussex, wearing an emerald-cut aquamarine ring that had belonged to Harry’s mother, Princess Diana, to the reception.
The newlyweds spent their first night as a married couple at Windsor Castle. They are not immediately going on honeymoon. NVG
