Wayward stallion walks off course as it leads procession for Royal Wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan, Duchess of Sussex
A ROGUE horse thought "I'm neigh doing this" as it shimmied out of line during the Royal Wedding procession.
The white stallion was leading the Queen's Guard cavalry escorting newlyweds Prince Harry and Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex to Windsor Castle for their lunchtime reception.
It was captured by aerial camera cantering off-road as the procession turned onto the Long Walk up to the historic Royal residence.
Its wayward canter was the only hitch in an otherwise picture-perfect wedding.
Moments earlier Harry and Meghan were joined in matrimony in an emotional ceremony at St George's Chapel.
It was hailed by experts and millions of viewers worldwide as the most modern an multicultural Royal Wedding in history.
The adoring pair were married by the Archbishop of Canterbury following a rip-roaring sermon by US bishop Michael Curry.
Hundreds of invited guests including family and celeb friends like the Clooneys and Serena Williams were also treated to a moving rendition of Stand By Me by The Kingdom black gospel choir.
Ingrid Seward, Editor in Chief of Majesty Magazine, told The Sun Online: "There's never been a royal wedding like in modern history.
"It was certainly a departure from tradition and and bodes well for the future of the modern monarchy."
Their wholly modern ceremony was a far cry from Royal Weddings of previous generations and showed the Monarchy mirroring modern Britain.
Mixed-race divorcee Meghan, 36, was embraced with open arms by her in-laws — a welcome not extended to previous newcomers to the family.
King Edward VIII had to abdicate the throne to marry his twice-divorced American lover Wallis Simpson in 1936.
And more recently, Princess Margaret's husband the Earl of Snowdon was not allowed to have his preferred best man Jeremy Fry at their wedding in 1960 because he was gay.
The Most Rev , the first presiding bishop of the Episcopal Church in New York, moved millions watching the ceremony as he spoke about the power of love.
Mr Curry opened his speech with the words of Civil Rights leader Martin Luther King Jr, who 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."
The bishop then added: "There's power in love. Don't underestimate it. Don't even over-sentimentalise. There is power, power in love."
Prince Harry was seen looking adoringly at his bride after the speech — and appeared to say "wow".
Ms Seward said: "The star of the ceremony was certainly the American preacher, The Most Reverend Michael Curry and with nice to see the royal family smiling and laughing as he made his address. It felt very inclusive.
"It was nice that Prince Charles to the hand of Meghan's mother, Doria as they went into the vestry for the signing of the register.
"For me it Harry and Meghan's hands that also made this one of the most unusual of royal weddings.
She added: "l have never before seen a royal couple hold hands and entwine their fingers like Harry and Meghan did when they were at the altar.
"She clearly adores Harry and there is no doubt they are in love.
"But moment that brought me to tears was discovering that Harry had picked forget-me-nots - his mother's favourite flower - at Kensington Palace for his bride's bouquet."
Royal historian Sarah Gristwood, who wrote Elizabeth - The Queen And Crown, told The Sun Online: "It was amazing - more so than any of us was expecting.
"It showed how this wedding is helping to take the royal family forward into the 21st century."
