A white stallion had the world's attention during the picture-perfect wedding of Prince Harry and now-Duchess of Sussex Meghan Markle. 

As the pair tied the knot on Saturday, May 19, television viewers noticed that the Windsor Grey horse leading the royal carriage during the procession had become spooked during the married couple's first public appearance. 

The horse strayed from the Long Walk path at Windsor Castle, prompting Twitter users to claim the mischievous horse "stole the show".

Aside from the stray horse, the wedding was a perfectly executed ceremony with a touch of American flair.

More than 600 high-profile guests were invited to the ceremony and an estimated 100,000 spectators waited outside with hopes to catch a glimpse of the happy couple at Windsor.
