I liked that Harry and Meghan gave the British stiff upper lip ones a tilt to a smile at times. Even if it was a smirk. I've been a royal watcher since Diana came on the scene. I have always said she looked like an innocent lamb going to slaughter on her wedding. If she only knew what lied ahead.doublemehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18411365585322170504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3178366214524455884.post-71318590436456068432018-05-21T10:25:03.521-04:002018-05-21T10:25:03.521-04:00Found this video clip -- it was 1991.

Funny, whenever they show this, they only ever show Diana greeting the boys, but Charles was there too, just a bit further behind and a bit more restrained. ;) <br /><br />https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G9cW9ntrtoIloribethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09272814565916935113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3178366214524455884.post-22161512759832731502018-05-21T10:19:13.926-04:002018-05-21T10:19:13.926-04:00LOL, certainly no Britannia in Winnipeg!! But Chuc...LOL, certainly no Britannia in Winnipeg!! But Chuck & Di did bring Britannia & stay on it here in Toronto when they visited back in the early 1990s. William & Harry were flown in to meet them here, and there's a famous picture/video clip of Diana running to greet them with her arms wide open. That was on the deck of the Britannia here in Toronto. The three of them went to Niagara Falls while they were here and rode the Maid of the Mist and all the other touristy stuff. Didn't see them or Britannia then, as we were working during the day... but I remember thinking, "Next time." Sadly, there was no next time, at least for Diana. :( loribethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09272814565916935113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3178366214524455884.post-51155627423945683392018-05-20T22:50:23.222-04:002018-05-20T22:50:23.222-04:00Starting with the worst first.

Argh.<br /><br />And I always relate to Sophie's children too. Her ectopic was just days before my first.<br /><br />For once, the timing was almost perfect here to watch something live on the other side of the world. We had a lovely Saturday dinner (I often make a nice dinner on a Saturday evening), some nice wine, then settled in to watch it. I was astounded that DH even bothered to watch, but he did, even the carriage procession! I enjoyed it. Shared the royals discomfort and amusement at the American preacher. Enjoyed the music, the flowers, the outfits!<br /><br />I've watched all those Royal events too. I distinctly remember Charles' investiture ceremony too. I suspect I saw Anne's wedding in black and white though! lol And isn't it amazing how much of the world the Queen and Prince Philip have covered. We saw them in Timaru (about 1/2 hour drive from our house) in 1977. And the royal yacht Britannia - I bet you didn't see that in Winnipeg! lol <br /><br />So yes, no more big exciting weddings until we're old. If I make it that far!Malihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03928262526502319303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3178366214524455884.post-90887807371052139322018-05-20T19:33:29.488-04:002018-05-20T19:33:29.488-04:00I forgot to add, re: the Mulroney twins, I wrote a...I forgot to add, re: the Mulroney twins, I wrote about them when they were born! -- AND there's an ALI angle!!
