My father was a staunch supporter of King Edward VIII and Mrs. Simpson. He believed an American Queen would be the best thing that could happen to GB in the troubled 1930s. But it was not to be because she was divorced. So had my father been alive today (he would be 124) he would have rejoiced at today’s news that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are to marry. All those prejudices of the past are cast aside and the happy couple will be the cutting edge of the Royal modernisation, which is constantly in force, but which under the influence of Princes William and Harry is gathering greater momentum. This Blog joins the whole country in wishing them every happiness. Even famous republicans are joining in.
