The royal family’s faces during Bishop Michael’s sermon were hilarious

Too funny.

He got the response he deserved

So it’s official, Meghan and Prince Harry are married. However, the happy couple isn’t all that’s garnering attention this afternoon, because Bishop Michael Curry absolutely stole the show.

He opened his speech with the words of Civil Rights leader Martin Luther King Jr, who said: “We must discover the power of love, the redemptive power of love. And when we do that, we will be able to make of this old world a new world. Love is the only way.”

The bishop then added: “There’s power in love. Don’t underestimate it. Don’t even over-sentimentalise. There is power, power in love.”

From there he launched into a sermon for the ages. In it, the Reverend talked a lot about love… and fire. “Love is the way,” he said – later adding: “We gotta get y’all married.”

It wasn’t what anyone expected from a British royal wedding but it worked.

Everyone from Kate to Camilla, to Eugenie and Beatrice, and even to the Queen herself was laughing during the Bishop’s delivery.
