The video of the couple, which has garnered over 12 million views, was shared by the user Matt Wallace with the caption, "If anyone can successfully copy the link on this post I will buy you a Tesla."

The clip aims to create a false impression that Queen Elizabeth, Princess Anne, Kate Middleton and other royals were shocked during the ceremony. The clip also contains a glimpse of Prince Edward and Duchess Sophie's wedding but it primarily focuses on Harry and Meghan.  

However, the lie was exposed by X team with a Readers added context. "He is trying to do engagement farming . We can still copy the link of every video on X, said the note under Matt Wallace post.

It came a day after, a large number of X users  complained they were unable to copy video links, with many sharing memes and conspiracy theories about why the issue was occurring.
