I could totally see the ILBW coercing Idiot Boy into a quick marriage somewhere. “But Hawwy, ours is the greatest love story in the whole wide world, but your family would never accept it. If we do it this way, they’ll have no choice! They can’t stop us being together!” And Idiot Boy, being an idiot, never stopped to consider why his family might disapprove.I would not be surprised to find out that they got "married" in Africa and so presented it to the Queen as such (hence the statement that they really got married 3 days before - obviously not true with the AOC, but a breadcrumb) Harry would be too stupid to know if the African marriage was legal or not
ETA: She could have claimed pregnancy forcing the Africa marriage then a convenient miscarriage
She may have even persuaded him it was his idea all along.
