“Prince Harry and his actress bride Meghan Markle married on Saturday in a dazzling ceremony that blended ancient English ritual with African American culture, infusing the 1,000-year-old British monarchy with a blast of modernity,” Reuters reported.

After the ceremony, the newlyweds were greeted by 100,000 well-wishers as they rode through the streets of Windsor in a horse-drawn carriage.

American student Madison Artzt had an up-close view as Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s carriage passed right in front of her.

In the video, the crowd can be heard erupting in cheers as the royal couple smile and wave at the spectators.

“I woke up at 4 a.m. to attend the royal wedding with some other girls I met while studying abroad in London,” Artzt said. “We picked a spot along the barricade around 8 a.m. and sat there until the procession passed us around 1:21 p.m.”

“As Americans, we’ve always been fascinated with the royal family and the history of the royals, so we jumped at the opportunity to be a part of a lifetime event,” Artzt said.
