Prince Harry’s special anniversary gift to Meghan Markle took center stage on the royal’s Instagram Story as the couple celebrated eight years together.
The Duchess of Sussex, 44, showed that her husband gifted her a sculpture of two penguins nuzzling each other with a card that read, “my one and only.”
With a video, she explained the meaning behind the gift, telling their daughter Princess Lilibet about their 2017 engagement party.
“When Mama and Papa, when we got engaged, we had a party with all of our friends and everyone wore an animal onesie,” she recounted, adding that she and Harry were penguins.
In a follow-up video, she posed the figurines behind a polaroid snap of the couple wearing said penguin onesies.
She finished showing off her present by sharing a closeup photo of the throwback picture, which showed Markle standing next to a very tall Prince Harry, 41, for a mirror selfie.
It’s worth noting that some species of penguins like Macaroni penguins are known to mate with one partner for life, according to the National Aquarium.
Earlier on Tuesday, the “With Love, Meghan” star marked the couple’s anniversary with a touching Instagram post sharing never-before seen pics from their big wedding day.
She shared several snaps from their first dance as they spun around together and sweetly wrapped their arms around each other.
The two could also be seen kissing while their wedding guests joined them on the dance floor.
She followed it up with a second post sharing some intimate photos from their wedding ceremony, where they talked after exchanging their vows and took wedding photos together.
In one loved up snap, Harry leaned over to give his bride a kiss after he finished giving a toast.
Harry and Markle tied the knot in front of their friends and family at St. George’s Chapel in the United Kingdom on May 19, 2018.
