Millions of viewers tuned in to watch Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's fairytale wedding ceremony in 2018, with one standout moment being a powerful 14-minute sermon on love. Now, on Sunday 19 May, they are celebrating their sixth wedding anniversary together.
The late Queen was reportedly 'moved' by the passionate speech given by Bishop Michael Curry, the first African-American leader of the Episcopal Church, but some Royal Family members seemed 'amused', as revealed in a 2023 documentary.
The five-part ITVX series The Real Crown: Inside the House of Windsor offered an intimate glimpse into the private lives of the Royal Family, including Harry's complicated relationship with his relatives.
Harry stepped away from his Royal duties in 2020 and moved to the US with Meghan, where they now live with their two children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.
Their wedding took place on May 19, 2018, and the American Bishop delivered a heartfelt sermon to the guests at St George's Chapel, which was broadcast to millions of fans worldwide.
In the documentary, as clips from the ceremony are shown, the voiceover notes that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex appeared 'moved' by the Bishop's words.
However, other royals don't seem as touched, as the camera captures Kate Middleton and the now Queen Camilla exchanging a quick glance, while Prince William seems to suppress a smile, reports the Daily Record.
The voiceover explains: "When Harry and Meghan marry, they throw a different kind of celebration. It's intended to reshape what a royal wedding can be. The main event of the service is a black preacher from Chicago, with a reputation not only as an extraordinary orator, but also as a humanitarian."
The sermon discussed love and God being 'intertwined', which the documentary suggests deeply moved Harry, Meghan and the late Queen. The voiceover then comments over clips of other royals: "It's a contrast with other members of the Royal Family, who seem amused by it."
The programme chronologically covers significant events in royal life, with Harry's episode portraying him growing up as the so-called 'spare', serving in the Armed Forces in Afghanistan, and stepping down as a working royal less than two years after marrying Meghan.
At the time, the couple attributed their decision to step back to the relentless negative media coverage of Meghan and the Firm's lack of action on the issue.
