The Royal Wedding

This event happened 10 days ago to pomp and splendour.

When royal blood married the common girl. Well apparently she is not that common & has a 16th of a droplet of royal blood from her father's side (or something like that).

Theirs may appear as a story of love that knows no bounds, love that seeks to understand & be understood, love that transcends social class.

My devil's advocate version: she is the girl that could tame Harry & embrace his naughty/ cheeky side at the same time. He chose her for the person that she is (who she has become) despite her divorcee status & who best to handle all the publicity except a Hollywood star.

The British Royal Family has come a LONG way since Wallis Simpson. [... and we probably have Camilla to thank: she was the mistress/ lover who finally became wife.. and when the Queen accepted her into their folds, nothing else tops that, so Meghan kinda had it reasonably easy.]

As with all marriages, I wish them the best as they traverse marital bliss and discover each other's idiosyncrasies, fight their battles, manage the public attention/ interest (in literally everything that they do), handle royal protocol & public image, and juggle 500 other things on their social calendar.

What is it like to marry into royalty I wonder?
I suppose that they would all have to be 200% discreet about anything and everything.
The Queen's approval (or disapproval) will be expressed without mincing any words.
They seem like a regular family (you THINK???).
Oh the royal protocol- so many things to remember! [I had read about them & even the rule of curtseying baffles me. I suppose Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, is kinda lucky there are not that many people above Harry in the royal bloodline].
They cannot express themselves in any way when it comes to a political stand or make a press statement to support a cause of any kind.
No social media of any sort #gasp [how does she contact & retain her friends?].
She has to give up her career that just propelled her name to stardom [The stresses of Hollywood vs Stress-points of being married to royalty. HMMMMM, whichever shall I choose? 😏]
... and the public persona/ image that they have to manage, that many past girls were said not to have been able to handle (I could only imagine).

In short (I wanted to end this entry on a happy note), all the best to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. Lovely names by the way, Duchess of Windsor, Duchess of Cornwall, Duchess of Sussex 😍.

May they weave together the threads of love and experience and multiple other feelings, to achieve an enriched relationship. [I wish this for myself & my prince too for when we wed 😗]

P/S: Please bear with me, as I have just recently discovered blogger emojis 😀
