It's the one year anniversary of the royal event that finally brought America and the UK together. Our metaphorical King and Queen, Harry and Meghan are taking the occasion to remind you that they're goddamn adorable and their wedding was perfect.

A video on the official Sussex Royal Instagram account compiled a number of beautiful behind-the-scenes black and white photos of the day. One includes his Royal Highness Duke of Sussex apparently hailing a taxi in full military garb like a commoner. Aren't they relatable?!

In fact, they are not. They are literal royalty. But also, that's why we love their best attempts at relatability.

"This Little Light of Mine" plays over the brief but lovely video because, as the caption describes, it was the song chosen for their recessional.

Of course, Prince Harry and Meghan were already in the news earlier in May for the birth of their royal baby, Archie. Since his reveal to the world on May 8, the Sussex Royal Instagram account also posted a shot of his little feet, because he might be in line for the throne but we can all come together over the universal appeal of tiny baby toes.

In a statement on the wedding video, the Duke and Duchess said, "Thank you for all of the love and support from so many of you around the world. Each of you made this day even more meaningful."
