This morning I got up to watch at 8am PEI time the wedding of HRH Prince Henry and Ms Rachel Meghan Markle in St-George Chapel in Windsor. Her dress by Givenchy simple chic and elegant, the Queen Mary Bandeau tiara created by Cartier in 1932 and worn again by HRH Princess Margaret in 1965, rarely seen but quite beautiful. HM the Queen loaned the tiara to Ms Markle.
HRH Prince Henry was wearing military uniform of the Blues and Royals, a regiment of the cavalry formed in 1969. The Queen is the colonel-in-chief of this regiment – and granted Prince Harry permission to wear this particular uniform for his big day. His brother HRH Prince William is wearing a similar uniform.
Both uniforms were crafted at Savile Row tailor, Dege & Skinner. Prince Henry wears the breast star decoration of the Royal Victorian Order and his brother wears the breast star of the Most Noble Order of the Garter.
For the evening party at Frogmore hosted by the Prince of Wales, the new Duke and Duchess of Sussex left the castle in a Jaguar E-Type Zero the world’s most beautiful electric car.
It all went very well and it was a beautiful day. She fits in very well and we can wish them all the happiness in the world.
The wedding cake beautifully presented

It doesn’t sound corny at all. I wish I was not American and that I was British or Canadian….

The British really know how to do such events following a well established formula.

Here’s the kind of niggling question one might expect from me (!). How? did you view the wedding, as I thought you alleged that you and Will have not a television:-)
This is a lovely ‘review’ of the event (no surprise)!

Well, of course! I ought to say Duh! for asking that question here in the Modern Age, but instead, I’ll just continue being a crank and say, Well! that puts the lie to not owning a telly;-)
