This week kicked off in royal fashion after the marriage of Prince Harry, now Duke of Sussex, to actress and longtime feminist Meghan Markle, now Duchess of Sussex, in Windsor, United Kingdom.

The week also featured an explosive twist, as Hawaii's Kilauea volcano again spewed molten lava into the surrounding area, causing the first serious injury. And in Texas, there was mourning, after another school shooting killed 10 people at Santa Fe High School. 

Global Citizen is bringing you these photos and more from around the world this week.
