Prince Harry and Meghan Markle got married today (19 May) and LGBTI celebrities can’t handle it.
Held in St George’s Chapel in Windsor, the ceremony featured a pro-LGBTI American bishop who gave an inspiring speech about love and social justice.
Markle stunned in a Givenchy dress, with all members of the British royal family in attendance, except for baby Prince Louis.
Also in attendance was Sir Elton John and his partner David Furnish, George and Amal Clooney, David and Victoria Beckham, Oprah and Serena Williams.
But it seems this very British spectacle caught the eye of some American fans.
Michelle Visage: ‘OMG I’M LIVING’
Openly gay CNN political commentator Keith Boykin tweeted his praise for Bishop Michael Curry.
He wrote: ‘Bishop Michael Curry quoting Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. at the Royal Wedding: “We must discover the power of love, the redemptive power of love. And when we do that, we will make of this old world a new world.”‘
