sparkle for markle — Liz Lampton Communications

this was NOT a drill.

i can honestly stay that the first thing that happened to my brain this morning was the news of harry's engagement to a divorced american actress best known in popular culture for her role on a USA drama? comedy? idk i obviously have never watched it. (the only thing i watch on USA is royal pains during the summer on monday nights because it soothes me. judge away. )

HE SEEMS REALLY HAPPY YALL.

but wallis simpson is rolling over in her commoner grave someplace. times they are a'changin! and i think it's really good and positive and also HE SEEMS REALLY HAPPY.

but man is this different with a media-trained actress in the hot seat this time around, huh? no voice coach for the vows for this one, friends. like, i think about kate's shyness and giggle in the first interview and it's just SO different. did you watch the interview with harry and meghan? she completely controls it, and him during it. she nails the talking points (never went more than two weeks without seeing each other; i had a nice career and now i'll have a NEW role; we've done the requisite family time; diana would be happy; queen is the queen but also a human/grandma) and is very eloquent in doing so, if a BIT overwrought in some of the delivery. i think kate and pippa texted REALLY nice stuff to each other about it, i do, i do, BUT i ALSO think carole called kate after a few glasses of chardonnay tonight (prove to me she doesn't drink it and then i'll quit saying she does) and was all "I mean, she's a bit much don't you think" and kate is like "mum, i'll need to ring you back, witching hour and all" with a passing comment to maria along the lines of "must be nice" as they wrangle the children in the bath.

““i’d never watched suits.” - HRH PRINCE HENRY OF WALES, 28 NOVEMBER 2017”

main observations/questions:

they are going to be way more PDA than team cornwall
did kate tell her what mani color combo to use?
i hope chelsy davies has made her way to the bottom of a wine bottle with some good pals today.
will she ever wear her hair natural? ever?
did go fug yourself make this happen? their book is basically this.
sarah burton won't do this dress. you can sort of tell that by today's shoes alone.
harry was super into their "little cottage." listen, i actually own a little cottage and that shit is roomier than it looks but i would love to know what kind of square footage we are talking in harry's "cottage."
why did she only bring the one dog?!?!?!
will they ever go to soho house?
she will definitely be at sandringham for christmas services.
is kate annoyed she's getting married around when the baby is due? or relieved?
will this impact kate's wardrobe in any way?
i bet she does a bold lip at the wedding.
i feel like DJT does not get the nod.
reminder: she is older than kate.
how do christmas presents work in the royal family? only william and kate really know her but like does she get a personalized gift from QEII? i bet kate is SUCH a thoughtful gift giver.

sooooo, anyway. a wedding and a happy couple is a joyful thing! and this world is darkity dark dark most of the time lately, so today was fun! and better than the new norm and certainly your average monday post-holiday weekend. thanks for readin' my ramble!
