Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been filmed celebrating with A-list neighbour Ellen DeGeneres at a star-studded event in the US. Ellen’s wife of 14 years Portia de Rossi turned 50 on Tuesday and the couple held a party at their new $70million mansion in Montecito. The occasion was made more memorable as Ellen and Portia surprised guests by renewing their wedding vows in a ceremony officiated by US TV personality Kris Jenner.
Harry and Meghan were reportedly joined at the event by Gwyneth Paltrow, Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom.
A video of the ceremony shows Ellen waiting with white flowers for wife Portia to arrive as the pair are serenaded.
The couple come together, with Portia in her wedding dress, as Jenner declares: “Welcome to Portia’s birthday party and to the newest home of one of my favourite couples.”
She then pays tribute to them, before recalling the big day in August 2008, which took place at their former home in Beverly Hills.
“Today, Portia would like us to witness a renewal of her commitment to Ellen to honour and celebrate their marriage of 14 years,” Jenner says.
Former actress Portia then tells Ellen she is “magnificient” and the most important person in her life.
Finishing off an emotional speech, Portia says “I am so honoured to be your wife” before the couple kiss.
The camera then pans around as the crowd of A-list onlookers break into whooping and applause, at which point Prince Harry and Meghan Markle can be seen celebrating.
