The Royal wedding
St George's Chapel was hit by a whirlwind, courtesy of Bishop Michael Curry. Meghan and Harry sat holding hands as the Chicago preacher spoke on the virtues of love and the values of the community.
Bishop Michael Curry comes from the Episcopal church, the American equivalent of the Anglican church in England.
The spirituality of the man was like a force of nature and it made wedding attendees sit up and take notice. David Beckham listened intently while Elton John could not hold back the tears. The Royals and other aristocrats present seemed shocked and bemused.
The wedding also featured a Gospel choir which is different from the pomp of past royal weddings.
Harry and Meghan are exceedingly popular with the British population. They ooze modernity and they are the faces of a 21st Century Royal Family. This 1000-year-old monarchy has survived because it has bowed to the wishes of the people.
With Meghan being American much US tourism will swell the coffers of the UK economy.
Wallis Simpson was an American and a divorcee but times have changed and how. Meghan has married her Prince something Wallis was unable to do with Edward back in the 1930's.
The Future
