I watched it after the fact on youtube to see the Episcopal preacher who Meghan invited to speak during the service. According to many friends he was cringe worthy and making the folks squirm in their seats. At first I was like, okay. Then he quoted MLK Jr. and I thought- HMMMM.... Then he brought up slavery and I was done. WTHeck brings up slavery during a wedding?! I listened long enough to kind of understand what he was getting at but still- NOT COOL. And either Meghan is a REALLY good actress and kept the same content expression on her face the whole time like a pro, or she was really into what he was saying. I felt bad for Harry. Depending on how this goes I may be feeling bad for him for a long time.

For those who are knowledgeable about such things: I know there are certain things that royals are not allowed to do, such as vote, have a public opinion on politics, not allowed to have their own social media accounts, not allowed to talk to the media off the cuff, etc. Meghan is known to be very outspoken about politics and other subjects the Crown could consider off-limits, she has at the least an Instagram account from what I've heard, and I'm 100% sure she was educated on such things in advance of the wedding, but if she goes off the rail, what does the monarchy do? I know Charles and Andrew had their fair share of controversies back in the day but I don't really know what the Crown's position was on any of it since the internet was either not for public use yet or it wasn't used to broadcast everything everyone does at the time.
