On their wedding day, May 19, 2018, American Bishop Michael Curry delivered a sermon to the guests gathered in St George’s Chapel, which was also broadcast to millions watching on TV around the world.
As footage from the service is played on the documentary the voiceover notes that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex appeared “moved” by his words.
However, it adds that other royals seem to have a different view as the camera pans to the Princess of Wales and Camilla, then Duchess of Cornwall, exchanging a glance while Prince William appears to stifle a smile.
The voiceover says: “When Harry and Meghan marry, they throw a different kind of celebration. It’s intended to reshape what a royal wedding can be.
“The main event of the service is a black preacher from Chicago, with a reputation not only as an extraordinary orator, but also as a humanitarian.”
The sermon spoke of love and God being “intertwined”, which the documentary claimed “appeared to move” Harry, Meghan and the late Queen.
The voiceover then says over clips of other royals: “It’s a contrast with other members of the Royal Family, who seem amused by it.”

The programme follows events in royal life in chronological order, with Harry’s episode showing him growing up as the so-called ‘spare’, serving with the Armed Forces in Afghanistan and stepping down as a working royal less than two years after marrying Meghan.
At the time the couple blamed the incessant negative media coverage of Meghan and the Firm’s failure to intervene for their decision.
While raising their children Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet in California, the Sussexes continued to make damaging allegations against Harry’s family through their Netflix docu-series and Harry’s memoir Spare.
However they maintained their bond with the Queen, even naming their daughter after Her Majesty’s family nickname.
The family travelled back to the UK for the Platinum Jubilee celebrations last June, introducing Lilibet to her namesake a few months before the Queen’s death.
At the state funeral in September the Duchess of Sussex also looked visibly emotional as she and her husband joined the rest of the family for the solemn occasion.
In a statement released by Buckingham Palace at the time of Harry and Meghan stepping back, the royals said they were “saddened” by the couple’s decision.
They added: “Harry, Meghan and Archie will always be much loved family members.”
