Now that the eagerly anticipated wedding is behind us, the public is still gushing over the royal couple now that they've exchanged vows in front of the queen on Saturday at St George's Chapel.

Many photographs of Prince Harry and his stunning bride Meghan Markle in nuptial bliss are making the rounds on the Internet. But everyone is in awe of one particular capture.




The aerial view shot led people to believe the photo was taken by a drone, naturally.


People enamored of the breathtaking shot wanted to give proper credit but were stumped over the identity of the mystery photographer.

Yui Mok came forward and revealed himself as the staff photographer who nabbed the perfect spot in capturing the newly minted Duke and Duchess of Sussex.

Mok couldn't take all the credit, however. He gave props to the editing team who is responsible for tidying up images they receive from other photographers.



Mok clarified that as a rule, photographers are never allowed to do any editorializing of their captured images.



So, how many photos did he take that day? Turns out, not a whole lot – which would make sense, given the small window of time for the shutter release as the horse-drawn carriage whisked by Mok's field of vision.


Amateur photographers wanted details on the camera equipment.


And Mok was more than happy to oblige.


One user pointed out the happy coincidence.




Unlike the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge kissing on the balcony of Buckingham Palace for their first public smooch in front of the world, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex broke the tradition that dates back to Princess Victoria's wedding in 1858.

The reason is because St. George's Chapel is too far from Buckingham Palace, and Windsor Castle lacks a sufficient balcony for the ceremonial kissing photo op.

But the the happy couple is starting new traditions, sharing plenty of kisses and stealing spectators' hearts along the way in their carriage.





Kensington Palace issued this statement:

They hope this short journey will provide an opportunity for more people to come together around Windsor and to enjoy the atmosphere of this special day.

And now we have Yui Mok's glorious photography to remember this moment forever.

Candace Owens Posts Screenshot Of Charlie Kirk's NSFW Dig At Meghan McCain—And Get Out The Popcorn

Conservative mouthpieces Candace Owens and Meghan McCain are feuding over the late far-right activist Charlie Kirk, and things got really messy after Owens shared one of Kirk's alleged text messages to her.

Kirk was assassinated in September while speaking at an event in Utah. In the months since, Owens has distanced herself from many figures on the far right, accusing them of exploiting his legacy—at times even sharing private communications she had with him.

Trump Just Responded To Top Counterterrorism Official's Damning Resignation Letter In Peak Trump Fashion

President Donald Trump was criticized for his response to the resignation of National Counterterrorism Center Director Joe Kent over the war in Iran, saying the country "posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby."

Kent, a former Green Beret and political candidate with ties to right-wing extremists, was confirmed last July in a 52–44 vote to lead the National Counterterrorism Center, where he oversaw efforts to analyze and detect terrorist threats.

Gavin Newsom's Wife Claps Back Hard In Viral Video After Trump Mocks Newsom's Learning Disability

Jennifer Siebel Newsom—the wife of California Governor Gavin Newsom—criticized President Donald Trump after he claimed her husband's dyslexia should disqualify him from being president, calling Trump's comments "extremely ignorant and offensive."

Newsom has frequently spoken about living with dyslexia, a common learning disability that can make reading more difficult and affect spelling and speech. He has said he prefers not to rely on teleprompters because of the condition, and wrote in a recent memoir that, when he was younger, he overcompensated by memorizing “pretentious words.”

Gellar reveals reason for Buffy reboot ax

Sarah Michelle Gellar is finally pulling back the curtain on why Buffy the Vampire Slayer’s planned return was abruptly shut down—and the explanation is raising eyebrows.

In a new interview with People, Gellar pointed to a single Hulu executive who, she claims, simply didn’t like the original series, effectively halting the planned continuation show Buffy: New Sunnydale in its tracks—an ending that feels less like a heroic finale and more like a stake through a vampire’s heart.
