'Do we kiss?' Best quotes from the royal wedding
After all the hype, the royal wedding went off splendidly.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s thoroughly modern nuptials were enjoyed by those lucky enough to be in St George’s Chapel in Windsor and by millions around the world watching on television.
There was plenty said about this wedding, but what do we remember most? And what did the newly-weds themselves say to each other as they left the church?
Here are the best quotes from Harry and Meghan’s big day.
“Do we kiss?”
Meghan Markle, the new Duchess of Sussex, questioning her new husband immediately after the service.
“Yeah!”
Prince Harry’s reply to his new wife’s question.
“My baby looks beautiful and she looks very happy. I wish I were there and I wish them all my love and all happiness.”
Thomas Markle, the bride’s father who was unable to attend after undergoing heart surgery.
“There’s power in love. Don’t underestimate it. Don’t even over-sentimentalise. There is power, power in love. Love can help and heal when nothing else can. There’s power in love to lift up and liberate when nothing else will.”
The Most Rev Michael Curry, Bishop and Primate of the American Episcopal Church.
“People applauded when the declaration of marriage was made… It’s really quite special to watch a service in a church setting with Brits, US citizens, Russians and people from around the world. In the current tensions, especially here in Moscow, it is a great thing to bring us together – perhaps an example of the power of love spoken about by the preacher.”
The Rev Canon Malcolm Rogers, chaplain of St Andrew’s Anglican Church, Moscow, to which the service was relayed.
“This marriage will change the world.”
An unnamed young woman as she watched the service in Los Angeles.
