Royal family's reactions to Bishop Michael Curry's show stealing appearance




I think we can all agree Reverend Michael Curry absolutely stole the show at Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s wedding by delivering a show stopping sermon. 

The bishop’s words rose in a passionate crescendo as he spoke of the link between love and the divine, his style a stark contrast to the sober delivery of the Archbishop of Canterbury, who was officiating. 

For the Royal Family, the animated performance would be a departure from the type of sermons they normally see at church services. 

But Bishop Curry soon had the pair dissolved into giggles

BGUK_1239653 - ** RIGHTS: WORLDWIDE EXCEPT IN UNITED STATES ** Los Angeles, CA - Controversial US bishop raises eyebrows with bizarre address during Royal wedding which mentioned slavery, quoted the Old Testament, MLK Jr, and said 'fire made it possible to text and tweet'. The Most Rev Bishop Michael Curry attended the Royal Wedding to give a fiery address at St George's Chapel. He mentioned slavery, the Old Testament and quoted the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr in his unusual speech. But his speech provoked a few chuckles in the chapel - and even Harry and Meghan couldn't help but snigger at one point Prince William seemed to be desperately trying to hold back a fit of giggles while Camilla and Kate also shared a look of bemusement. During the sermon Reverend Curry also talked about how 'fire made it possible to text and tweet???. He even mentioned 'old slaves in America's south who explained the power of love' during his wedding speech. *BACKGRID DOES NOT CLAIM ANY COPYRIGHT OR LICENSE IN THE ATTACHED MATERIAL.

At times several of the congregation could be seen smiling and exchanging glances.

Zara Tindall gave ‘massive side eye’ and reached for her bible, while Mike couldn’t tear his eyes away.

People found their reactions hilarious, to say the least.






Ed Miliband had some views. 



But one thing was clear, people absolutely loved him.








 The wide-ranging address cited love as the key to curing global problems such as poverty.

 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.’ 

 In a moment of light self-deprecation, Bishop Curry noted he had to soon sit down, gesturing to the couple and adding ‘we need to get y’all married’. 

 The ideas of French thinker Pierre Teilhard de Chardin were called upon as the bishop brought his address to a powerful conclusion. 

 The Roman catholic theologian, described as ‘one of the great minds and spirits of the 20th century’, recognised the role fire had played in advancing human history


Blame it On
