L.A.T.1961 Posted May 19, 2018 #76 Share Posted May 19, 2018 It all seemed to go off without a hitch. One thing I noticed, compared to earlier royal wedding TV coverage, was the use of close in shots. Previously this was though intrusive but it looked like TV were given more or less a free hand to show the event without restrictions. There would normal be some waving from a balcony but Windsor does not have anywhere other than the battlements to stand so that might be it for royal appearances today. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Still Waters Posted May 19, 2018 #77 Share Posted May 19, 2018 I couldn't watch it all but did see the main parts, it was very nice and they both looked lovely and happy. I hope they have a long and happy life together. I'm planning to watch it again tonight to fill in the gaps. I'm glad Prince Philip was able to attend, there had been some speculation about him not being fit enough after his recent hip surgery. Meghan's mum did good too, she seemed relaxed and coped well with all the media attention. I also like that Prince Charles stepped in for Meghan's father. The reception: Quote Kensington Palace has released a picture of Harry and Meghan's three stunning wedding cakes. Also revealed are the menu for the royal wedding reception and news that Harry's new wife Meghan Markle will make a speech at the event. The reception is being given by the Queen at St George's Hall in Windsor Castle, with about 600 guests invited. Approximately 7,500 items of food have been prepared by a team of 25 chefs, led by royal chef Mark Flanagan. https://news.sky.com/story/menu-revealed-for-royal-wedding-reception-11378511 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Commander Travis Posted May 19, 2018 #78 Share Posted May 19, 2018 Didn't they say the reason they didn't invite America's Donald Trump was because they wanted a small private affair without too much publicity? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hardly saw any politicians there. Former PM, John Major was lurking... but I think he blags his way into any event he can No Mays, no Corbyns, no Trumps, no Obamas, no politicians period... it was a blissful respite! 8 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

L.A.T.1961 Posted May 19, 2018 #82 Share Posted May 19, 2018 The couple left the reception in an E type, I noticed it was an American spec right hand drive. Sums up the day quite nicely I think. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+susieice Posted May 20, 2018 #84 Share Posted May 20, 2018 (edited) Watching the replay on PBS. Yes, the bride and groom along with Charles and Meghan's mother did walk out to the left of the altar. They went to sign the registers. I knew I saw that this morning. I wasn't still asleep. Now the cellist is playing. He is at the pillars in front of the guests with the orchestra. They will return to the altar right before they play God Save The Queen. I keep looking at the black rectangle in the aisle. I know what it is. The pillars with the greenery and flowers are in front of the invited guests. It seems like there is still quite a bit of aisle after that until you get to the altar. I wonder how clearly they could see what was happening. The pews by the altar are sideways and seem to have the choir and their families.

Still Waters Posted May 20, 2018 #89 Share Posted May 20, 2018 Harry and Meghan have new titles: Quote Prince Harry has become Baron Kilkeel - one of the titles gifted to him by the Queen on his wedding day. The Prince is the first royal to have been granted the title, but he will no doubt feel at home when he visits the capital of the ancient kingdom of Mourne. He will also be known as the Earl of Dunbarton and the Duke of Sussex. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-northern-ireland-44181213 Quote Prince Harry has been given a Scottish title by the Queen. He will be the third Earl of Dumbarton - a title that has strong military connections and one not used since 1749. On her marriage, Meghan Markle has become the Countess of Dumbarton. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-44180383 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
