Prince Harry, Meghan Markle’s Royal Wedding Bishop Michael Curry Has Prostate Cancer

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s royal wedding preacher, Bishop Michael Curry, has been diagnosed with prostate cancer.

In his letter, Curry said that he learned about his illness a couple of months ago following his annual physical examination.

“After a variety of tests, consultations, and conversations with my wife and daughters, I decided on a surgical treatment course. I am happy to say that the prognosis looks very good and quite positive. I have spoken with several others who have gone through this, and who have offered both encouragement and helpful advice. I will be in the hospital for at least a day, then at home to recuperate,” he wrote.

Curry’s operation will take place on Tuesday. His recovery will take between four and six weeks.

The bishop made headlines at Prince Harry and Markle’s wedding due to his speech about love. One month after the royal couple’s nuptials, Curry reacted to the royals laughing at him during his sermon. Some of them were also seen rolling their eyes while listening to his speech.

“They were listening in their own way. Emotions should be expanded. Laugh at me, laugh with me, it’s all fine by me. Any way I can steer the message about the love of God. I am glad to do that,” he said (via Express).

At that time, Curry also acknowledged the fact that his sermon went on a little too long. Once he realized what happened, he immediately cut it short and told Prince Harry and Markle, “With that, I got to sit down, we got to get you all married.”

But despite the Royals’ reaction to his sermon, several commentators that covered the royal wedding were impressed with Curry’s speech.

Mark Austin, a journalist for Sky News, said, “Lovely moment as the preacher takes the Royals to the edge of their comfort zone.

“The preacher is doing 50 in a 30 zone and it’s brilliant,” said Jeremy Vine of the BBC.
