Etta James’s Amen (This Little Light of Mine) will be played as the couple leave St George’s Chapel SKIP BOLEN/EPAIt will be the royal wedding with soul. When Prince Harry marries Meghan Markle at Windsor Castle today, it will be the first royal wedding in British history where the church will resonate to the sound of one of the best-loved soul hits of the 1960s. The song, Ben E King’s Stand By Me, which will be performed by a gospel choir, is not the only unconventional musical choice. As the couple leave St George’s Chapel, they will be serenaded by a number from the old rhythm and blues singer Etta James, Amen (This Little Light of Mine). The service will also feature poignant tributes to Harry’s late mother, Diana, Princess of Wales.
