A US bishop stole the show with his fiery address at Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's wedding.
The Most Reverend Michael Curry has been praised for his passionate speech which touched upon slavery, the Old Testament and even quoted Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
Many of social media were delighted to see the American reverend 'shake up' the traditional royal proceedings.
The preacher also provoked a few chuckles in the chapel - and even Harry and Meghan couldn't help but giggle at one point.
Meanwhile Prince William seemed to be desperately trying to hold back a fit of laughter as Rev. Curry talked about how 'fire made it possible to text and tweet'.
Meghan, holding hands with Prince Harry, smiled as she listened to Curry talk about how: 'Two young people fell in love, and we showed up.'
Rev. Curry even mentioned slavery in his wedding speech.
'I'm talking about some power, real power, power to change the world,' he said of the 'power of love.'
'If you don't believe me there were some old slaves in America's south who explained the power of love.

Embarrassing. It was a wedding, not a Community Organizing rally. Also, Meghan was a “yacht girl.” Look that up.
The slave trade (of Africans) was a EUROPEAN institution for over 300 years especially by the BRITISH in the Caribbean. Yes, America had slaves as colonies and when the Republic was in its beginning but we ultimately ripped America apart to end it. To ignore the staggering fact that close to 700,000 men died (a great portion from the North) is asinine and blatant disregard to historical facts. To this day most (African decent) Americans will vote and promote the ideology and political party that enslaved them: DEMOCRAT Party. The stupid British can chuckle all they want. They are now a colony by those who they once colonized.
Slavery? Is that what’s going to happen to Harry when she takes him for everything he’s got?
Shhhh! That doesn’t fit the “narrative”(I started to really hate that word) of the left. Slavery is apparently a fairly recent thing that happened because of the founding fathers of the US. You know, old white dudes with lots of money. Guess they never looked to see what ages some of the founders were. There were a lot more in the SA and Caribbean spheres than will ever be owned up to.
He was a garrulous windbag
Annoying as hell in an otherwise dignified service
Lol!!
Love it!
I had no desire to watch the farce but I watched some of the Pre-Wedding coverage on PBS (I know). I wanted to see some of the weird hats that the women traditionally wear.
They were broadcasting coverage from the BBC. The female anchor was making a fool of herself gushing over celebrities” such as Oprah Winfrey and Serena Williams. Of course, the BBC was shamelessly promoting the race angle of the wedding.
I lasted until the appearance of George Clooney and his wife. The BBC bimbo went absolutely orgasmic over the Clooney’s and would not shut up about them. I finally lost my patience and went to bed.
BTW, Clooney looked very short, old and ugly.
If you want your wedding to exude an aura of royalty, ask your minister to quote Martin Luther King.
Good golly he is bringing up something that ended over a 150 years ago? Really?
YEP, same thing as the folks here bringing up we kicked the Brits out 250 years ago on these threads.
Agree, he was doing a wedding, focus should be on the wedding couple, not SJW type stuff..
Couldn’t agree more. Just like Obama, Meghan is coasting on her half black heritage. And being the SJW that he is, Harry just HAD to marry her.
” ‘there will always be an England’ “ aka as ‘there’ll always be an England’.
Not so much anymore. England, like Sweden and the EU is toast.
A warning to those who think that there will always be the United States under the U.S. Constitution.
Under the Soros world government cabal, there would still be entities named England and the United States, but they will be meaningless.
The Royals have no idea what they have done to their family. Just wait.
Particularly if that offspring has a dominant black gene.

What?
This couple is a sideshow. Unless something happens to William’s entire family, Harry will be inconsequential. The question is, “in ten years, will Markle be able to deal with that?”
Yeah, Clooney looks terrible and I couldn’t stand the way his wife was sashaying in front of everyone. Tacky.
As I was watching it today, I really had the feeling that this marriage won’t last long.
