Harry and Meghan, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, married at a gorgeous wedding ceremony at St George’s Chapel in the grounds of Windsor Castle on Saturday.

The wedding, which hosted 600 guests, went off without a hitch and provided many happy memories for the family for years to come.

However, when a large event is broadcast in front of the whole world, social media users are guaranteed to make several memes out of it.

From hilarious to heart-warming, here are nine of the very best memes to come out of the royal wedding.

1. A little page boy captured everybody’s hearts.

Meghan’s pageboy, one of Jessica Mulroney’s seven-year-old twin sons, had a face of wonder when he entered the church.

2. Guest Tom Hardy looked a little unimpressed.

Actor Tom Hardy, a guest at the wedding, looked a little stony-faced at the ceremony.

3. Some made fun of the fact that Harry’s ex-girlfriend attended the ceremony.

Chelsy Davy, Harry’s ex-girlfriend, attended the royal wedding.

Though she was probably very happy for him, people caught her looking less-than-impressed, sparking jokes and memes.

4. Bishop Michael Curry wowed the world with his passionate address.

American Bishop Most Rev Michael Curry gave a dramatic address entitled The Power of Love during the wedding, quoting Martin Luther King Jr.

He said: “We must discover the power of love, the redemptive power of love. And when we do that, we will be able to make of this old world a new world. Love is the only way.”

People loved the passionate speech, even making him into a meme.

5. A moment in the royal carriage sparked several jokes.

A moment where Meghan looked happily to the crowd from her carriage was turned into a meme.

6. People noticed that the head-wear was quite subdued.

9. And, sweetest of all, people made some heart-warming comparisons to Cinderella.

The happy couple looked like a true fairytale.
