About
The Knight and Princess Trend or Knight Crying at Wedding is an animation meme trend based on an animation of a prince and princess getting married while the princess's knight, who is in love with the princess, cries while watching the couple. The original video was posted by TikToker @jony.org in February 2025, using a fake painting as the basis of the meme. It became increasingly popularized over the following months as people recreated the video, eventually becoming the subject of reanimations that replace the prince, princess and knight with characters from various fandoms.
Origin
On February 8th, 2025, TikToker[1] @jony.org posted a meme using a painting, possibly AI-generated, of a knight watching as a prince and princess get married. The prince says, "Forever?" and the princess responds, "Forever!" The scene then transitions to a zoom into the knight's helmet, showing him crying through his visor. The post gained over 29.7 million views in nine months.
