Prince Harry appears to wipe away tear as Princess Diana’s favourite hymn is played during Royal Wedding Prince Harry appears to wipe away tear as Princess Diana’s favourite hymn is played during Royal Wedding The 33-year-old Duke of Sussex struggled to control his emotions during the final bars of his mother's favourite hymn Prince Harry appears to wipe away tear as Princess Diana’s favourite hymn is played during royal wedding Prince Harry appeared to wipe away tears as he and his bride, along with the 600 guests packed into St George's Chapel, sang the last bars of Guide me, O Thou Great Redeemer. The hymn was his mother's favourite and the 33-year-old chose to include it as part of the ceremony as a tribute to Princess Diana , 21 years after it was sung at her funeral. Prince Harry , who looked nervous as he walked into the chapel with his brother and best man Prince William , appeared to struggle with his emotions as his stunning bride walked up the aisle on her own - with her father too ill to attend. But the new Duke of Sussex was again overcome with emotion as the touching hymn was sung. The song was performed at Diana's funeral at Westminster Abbey in 1997, when Prince Harry was just 12 years old. Last year Harry admitted in a TV documentary he had only cried twice about his mother's death in a car crash in Paris, an event which shocked the world. He said: "The first time I cried was at the funeral on the island," referring to Diana's private burial at Althorp. "And only since then, maybe once more. There's a lot of grief that still needs to be... to be let out." Diana honoured in the ceremony By Nicola Small and Victoria Murphy Harry and Meghan made sure Princess Diana was not forgotten on their special day. From the flowers in Meghan’s bouquet to the music and the reading at the service, the couple ensured her presence was felt – 21 years after her crash death. The only reading was about the power of eternal love, with Diana’s sister Lady Jane Fellowes, 61, triggering tears as she said from the Old Testament Song of Solomon: “My beloved speaks and says to me, ‘Arise, my love, my fair one, and come away; for now the winter is past, the rain is over and gone’.” She was joined at the service by Diana’s other sister, Lady Sarah McCorquodale, and her brother Earl Spencer, along with Harry’s Spencer family cousins. Also present was former Prime Minister John Major, who was appointed special guardian to Princes Harry and William, responsible for legal and administrative matters, when Diana died in the Paris underpass. No British or overseas dignitaries were invited to the wedding, so Mr Major’s presence was a reminder of the pivotal role he played in Harry’s life at a traumatic time. When Meghan arrived at St George’s Chapel, she was carrying a bouquet with Diana’s beloved forget-me-nots. The white petals of Diana’s favourite nestled among blooms picked from Kensington Palace gardens and myrtle sprigs, which are traditional in royal bouquets. Adorning the walls of the 500-year-old chapel were arches of flowers, including white roses, another of Diana’s favourites that were planted in her memory at the palace gardens over the summer. As soon as details of the wedding were announced, Harry said he wanted to “celebrate the memory of the late Princess on the wedding day”. Harry was emotional throughout the service and was particularly moved as the congregation sang the final hymn, Guide Me O Thou Great Redeemer, which was played at Diana’s 1997 funeral. William and Kate also included it their wedding. Given pride of place in the chapel was Diana’s close friend Julia Samuel, with her husband Michael. Julia is godmother to Prince George and has remained close to William and Harry following Diana’s death, with Meghan previously talking about how much she enjoyed meeting her.

There were touching references to Harry's late mother throughout the ceremony.

Meghan carried a bouquet containing forget-me-nots, specifically chosen as they were Diana's favourite flower. A spokesperson for Kensington Palace said: "The couple specifically chose them to be included in Ms Markle's bouquet to honour the memory of the late Princess on this special day." Diana's sister Lady Jane Fellowes gave the only reading of the service, the eighth chapter of the Song of Solomon: “My beloved speaks and says to me, ‘Arise, my love, my fair one, and come away; for now the winter is past, the rain is over and gone’.” She was joined at the service by Diana’s other sister, Lady Sarah McCorquodale, and her brother Earl Spencer, along with Harry’s Spencer family cousins. Also present was former Prime Minister John Major, who was appointed special guardian to Princes Harry and William, responsible for legal and administrative matters, when Diana died in the Paris underpass. Sir Elton John, Diana's close friend, was asked by Harry to play a medley of best-loved hits during the couple's lunchtime reception. Meghan's jewellery also included nods to Diana, with her engagement ring - which Harry designed - featuring two stones from Diana's personal collection. For the evening do at Frogmore House the Duchess of Sussex wore Diana's aquamarine ring.
