Yes, I watched the royal wedding. I said I didn’t care, but it turns out that the American actress turned princess is a compelling story, especially when we’ve watched her on Suits and the whole divorcee/non royal/Rachel Zane marrying a prince! felt like another episode of a tv show, rather than real life.
It also helps that we live in the Middle East so the wedding aired at 3 in the afternoon. I definitely wouldn’t have woken up in the middle of the night in the US to watch it or anything. That’s what E News is for.
We were in the lounge at Atlantis having afternoon tea (and yes, I had my scones with clotted cream while Josh deconstructed all of the finger sandwiches, eating the middles and leaving the bread [brain poison] behind) and of course they had the pre-wedding festivities playing on the tv. But since I couldn’t hear what was going on and was starting to get a crick in my neck from craning to see if the bride had arrived yet, I gave up any pretense of being uninterested and pulled out my phone to watch the live stream. And then the rest of the family got into it and we had 3 different phones going as we ate our British tea with American manners and laughed at how very non-British the wedding was.
It was the perfect entertainment to end our Atlantis weekend. (and yes, I loved her dress!)
