Royal fans have taken three years to spot a secret message hidden in Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's 2018 wedding.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex drove off in a Vintage Jaguar E-Type after their nuptials at Windsor Castle, and eagle-eyed social media users have pointed out a surreptitious detail on the number plate.

Zooming in on the license plate, Sussex fans realised the numbers and letters were a code that signified the date of their wedding, "E190518", which translates to "Established 19 May 2018" — the day they tied the knot.

"Yoooo I am so embarrassed. I was watching the royal wedding for the 200th time and it's only now that I noticed the licence plate," one Twitter user wrote.

"I never knew. Thanks for sharing. Meghan and Harry are so intentional in everything they do. Just special," another said.

A third posted: "Thanks, I had no clue."

The newlyweds had only rented the silver blue 1968 Jaguar for the day, but because they were driving on private property and not public roads, the customised plate was no issue.

Prince Harry and Meghan tied the knot in front of 600 guests at St George's Chapel at Windsor Castle on May 19, 2018.

Earlier this year, the royal couple caused controversy during their interview with Oprah Winfrey after revealing they officially married "in our backyard" before the public ceremony.

The Archbishop of Canterbury later confirmed Meghan and Harry weren't legally married in their back garden, the ceremony taking place three days before the royal wedding.

"I had a number of private and pastoral meetings with the Duke and Duchess before the wedding," the Archbishop told La Repubblica.

"The legal wedding was on the Saturday."

Officials also rubbished the claim, with Stephen Borton — who drew up the licence for the wedding — telling The Sun Meghan was "obviously confused".
