Prince Harry and Meghan Markle make surprise appearance at Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi's vow renewal
By April Glover|
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have made a low-key appearance at Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi's vow renewal, after a few weeks of quietly ducking out of the spotlight.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, longtime friends of the talk show host and her wife, were spotted in the background of DeGeneres' video, which captured footage of their emotional second wedding.
The couple's attendance at the star-studded event was a 'blink and you'll miss it' occasion.

In a video posted to DeGeneres' YouTube channel, Meghan could be seen first with her hand covering her mouth as she watched the romantic vow renewal unfold.
Harry was then seen at the other side of the room, standing away from his wife, enjoying the commitment ceremony.
It was a motley crจนe of A-list stars at DeGeneres and de Rossi's California home, with reality TV star Kris Jenner enlisted to officiate the renewal.
The celebration was held inside the couple's new $US70 million (approx. $98 million) home in Santa Barbara, California, which was reminiscent of their first wedding in 2008 where they married in the backyard of their home in LA.

Just like that ceremony, de Rossi walked through their home in the same billowing Zac Posen wedding dress she wore almost 15 years ago.
It marks the first time the former senior royals have been seen together since Harry's bombshell Spare release and his controversial press trail.
According to Page Six, the Sussexes had a "wonderful time" celebrating both Australian-born de Rossi's 50th birthday and the long-term couple's vow renewal.
The royals became close with DeGeneres and de Rossi after moving to Montecito.

The two couples were neighbours for a time and Meghan has previously spoken about her friendship with DeGeneres while appearing on The Ellen Show in 2021.
"We were home and we saw you guys, which was great. But no, we wanted to do something fun for the kids and then the kids were just not into it at all," Meghan said, referring to their plans for Halloween.
Other famous faces at DeGeneres and de Rossi's ceremony included Jennifer Aniston, Katy Perry, Orlando Bloom, Gwyneth Paltrow and Courteney Cox.
