"Well, did you watch the wedding?"
In part - Edith was glued to the couch watching it and there was little escape from it in the office either. A Lancaster, a Spit and a Hurricane flew in formation lowdown over Buckingham Palace followed by Phantoms and Urinefighters I've heard, must have been a sight. They should have been tailed by an Me 109, a FW 190 and a Me 110 night fighter for historical accuracy though!
You've got to hand it to the Brits, for more than 60 years they have been on a downward spiral as a political, military and industrial power (having basically become the Cayman Islands of Europe as a finance hub
... that was mean now, I know) but gollygosh they do know how to throw a festivity, don't they! Balcony kisses (there were two) were a bit hesitant I've heard,
Willy and Kate the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge looked a bit sedated throughout. Nerves. Seeing him in his parade uniform, I caught myself thinking of a remake of An Officer and a Gentleman! Like preservation of Aborigine culture in Australia, English royalty deserves to be cherished as historical testimony. And I actually like the two as a couple (I liked Charles too, but Diana was always an airhead to me).
Well.
Thank God she's not from Blue Ridge Summit of all places and hasn't been married twice, is not a gargantuan spender and no friend of Adolf Hitler. Royal choices weren't always so great in the past.
