Meghan also paid tribute to those who have shown their support throughout their relationship.

Snaps of Archie and Lilibet can be seen during happy family picnics and activities.

One adorable photo appears to show big brother Archie kissing his little sister, while another appears to show his baby scan.

Handwritten lyrics of Ben E King's Stand by Me are also displayed, along with what appears to the coat of arms approved by the late Queen when Meghan became a Duchess on her wedding in May 2018.

Meghan worked with the College of Arms to finalise the design, representing her American roots, before the Queen signed it off.

The duchess captioned the post: "Seven years of marriage. A lifetime of stories.

"Thanks to all of you (whether by our side, or from afar) who have loved and supported us throughout our love story - we appreciate you.

"Happy anniversary!"

Other pictures on the board show Harry and Meghan smiling together on a number of trips together.

They range from snowy excursions as well as visits to sunnier destinations over their seven years together.

And one sweet picture shows Meghan, Archie, and Lilibet sharing a tea party in what appears to be the back garden of their Montecito mansion. 

Millions rejoiced as King Charles led Meghan down the aisle on May 19, 2018 to marry his youngest son. 

Three days before their official royal wedding, the couple had a private ceremony at their home.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle then wed at St. George's Chapel in Windsor in front of their family, friends and the world.

They officially became the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.

After the wedding ceremony, the married couple had a wedding lunch with 600 guests.

In the evening there was a private evening wedding reception at Frogmore House.

Guests such as Idris Elba, George Clooney and Serena Willams attended the event.

Three days after their wedding, the newly weds attended a garden party at Buckingham Palace in honour of King Charles 70th birthday.

Back in 2019, the couple celebrated their first wedding anniversary by thanking everyone for "all of the love and support", while releasing a photo montage on Instagram.

The montage was set to "This Little Light of Mine," which was performed during their wedding ceremony recessional.

Since launching an Instagram page five months ago, the Duchess ­frequently shares her picture-perfect life with her three million followers. 

And hardly a chance is missed for the couple to share their perfect life, whether through carefully curated “date night” Instagram snaps or Meghan telling a podcast that her hubby is a “fox”. 

Earlier this month, Harry and Meghan appeared as close as ever as they piled on the PDA watching Beyonce perform in Los Angeles. 

In carefully curated concert photos, Meg was seen draped over her ­grinning husband, who revealed his hat on the night was inscribed with loving ­tributes.

'It doesn't really say very much'

Royal expert Hugo Vickers told The Sun of Meg's montage post: "She obviously wants to put out the message that all is well, and that they're a happy and united family, and I guess that leaves the rest of us to make up our minds as to whether we go along with it."

However, he said while he wishes the couple no ill-will as they celebrate their wedding anniversary: "It doesn't really say very much, does it? It's sort of more of the same."

He added while it appears initially like a "glance at their life... Actually, you don't come away feeling you know anything more or anything better from it".

Mr Vickers said while many of the photos seem posed as opposed to wholly natural: "I wouldn't personally be expecting them to put anything more intimate...

"Why should they show us them sitting in front of the television? If indeed they ever do, it's just a staged thing."

He said the montage may well be "something which is up in their kitchen" that's been slightly modified for Instagram.

Mr Vickers added that, on the face of it, Meghan's post is actually "harmless" but "everything she does gets criticised".

"Of all the things that she does, this is the one I would criticise the least...

"She'll get criticised if she does something controversial, and when she tries to do something normal as well.

"She has, unfortunately for her, got herself into a position where people are more inclined to criticise her now than to welcome new ideas and be supportive."
