Betts told the Boston Globe last year, "I saw on television that they were getting married. But I had no idea we were related .. That's not something you expect to hear, but it’s interesting."

The Royals appeared to promote the Invictus Games Foundation, which Prince Harry founded.

To celebrate the occasion, New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone gave Markle a very special gift.
