Michael Curry, the US bishop who stold the show at Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's royal wedding gave a special blessing on the Britain's Got Talent
The royal wedding preacher Michael Curry gave a special blessing on the Britain's Got Talent finale. He captured the world's attention at the royal wedding.
Bishop Michael Curry's 14-minute address entitled 'The Power of Love' was the most tweeted about moment of Meghan and Harry's big day.
He kicked off the ITV show with a special sermon.
He said: 'Hello Britain's Got Talent. It is a joy to bring you these greetings, to all of the contestants, to the judges, to the audience, to all who make this possible.
'Thank you for what you are doing, thank you to the contestants who offer yourselves and share your talent and your gifts with the rest of us, you actually help to bring some joy and happiness.
'So, thank you, God bless you, God keep you and may God hold us all in those almighty hands of love.'
His speech at the royal wedding at St George's Chapel in Windsor began by quoting civil rights activist and devout christian Dr Martin Luther King Jr.
Reverend Curry previously revealed he originally thought his invitation to speak at the service was a practical joke.
He told ITV's Good Morning Britain: 'I thought somebody was doing an April Fool's joke on me. I just didn't in my wildest imagination...'
The bishop said he 'had no idea' his speech had caused such a stir, adding: 'When I sat down from the sermon, I remember thinking to myself, 'I hope that was OK'.'
