Representing Egypt’s Coptic Orthodox Church in the UK, Coptic Orthodox Archbishop of London HG Anba Angaelos gave a prayer at the wedding of the British Prince Harry and American actress Meghan Markle in Windsor on Saturday.
Britain’s Prince Harry and American actress Meghan Markle were announced husband and wife on Saturday by the Archbishop of Canterbury.
Markle entered the chapel unescorted, dressed in a flowing white gown created by British designer Clare Waight Keller and wearing a veil and diamond tiara, according to Reuters.
“In a ceremony that combined modernity and the ancient rituals of a royal house that dates back to 1066, Prince Charles, heir to the throne and Harry’s father, accompanied Markle to the altar from the middle of the chapel.”
HG Anba Angaelos is the first Coptic Orthodox Archbishop of London, having served as General Bishop of the Coptic Orthodox Church in the United Kingdom since 1999.
