Royal Wedding: Details on Prince Harry’s Speech, Wedding Reception

Royal Wedding - Duchess Catherine and Duke William

Prince Harry has always been a little less serious than big brother William (who must always remember that one day, he’ll be a king), and he injected plenty of fun into the after-party following the royal wedding. The Prince’s speech was a huge crowd-pleaser, and filled with laughs.

Harry started out on a serious note, telling Prince William that “Our mother would be so very proud of you.” Then he added that he felt sorry for Kate, because she didn’t marry the good-looking brother (himself!). He delivered the speech standing atop a table.

Reports also say that Prince Harry then unbuttoned his shirt and dived into the crowd at the end of his speech. How’s that for royal decorum?

Michael Middleton, father of Kate, also gave a speech. He shared a story with the audience about William's courtship of Catherine. “I knew things were getting serious when I found a helicopter in my garden. I thought, ‘gosh, he must like my daughter.’”

The reception had a DJ, mirrored ball, popcorn machines and a cocktail named Crack Babies. Ellie Goulding performed “Your Song,” by Elton John for William and Kate’s first dance.

Together, the couple performed “You’re the One That I Want” from Grease, later in the night. Say what you like about the royal family, but they definitely know how to party.
