I admit to being an Anglophile. I actually got up before dawn to watch Will’s parents get married. Not this time. Too old for that kind of early wake up call. Plus now, you can just record it or watch the highlights or rent the video.
But I have always been a fan of the history of the British monarchy. It’s just fasinating to me. I’ve read all sorts of biographies aout Elizabeth the first, Queen Victorian, Edward and Mrs. Simpson and one really amazing book about all of the Queens of England since the first one. etc. This is just the continuation of that.
Hopefully they will take William’s mother’s ideas about charity and service to heart and continue with her tradition.
I love to watch all of the ceremonious stuff too. I’ve been to Westminster Abbey, so it will be neat to see them get married there. Just not at 3 o’clock in the morning.
