HORSEYS!

Intellectually, I am all over the Republican side of things, but when it boils down to it, most politicians end up being twats or numpties, and despite the many shortcomings of the Monarchy, they really do cavalry tremendously well! I find I have confidence in a head of government backed up by swords on horseback.

That was a very satisfying wedding. Everyone looked terrific, or terrifically silly (which is just as good), the bride was the prettiest, no one else was dressed exactly like the Queen, and all the readings and lessons were generous and appropriate.

And I bet Harry volunteered to be in the kids' coach so he could encourage vigorous waving and giggling.

I think that you need a certain set of experiences to have the right mix of fondness and comedy, with a slight edge of the absurd, for a royal wedding.

And yeah, Harry -- hot, nice with kids, has muscles, likes animals. Was a bit of a numpty in his youth, seems to be well over it.

Swords + horses = instinctive trust in most civilisations ;-)

I also noticed Harry eyeing up the Chief Bridesmaid in the procession out of the church (of course, the CB is traditionally the Best Man's perk).

I'm glad that wasn't just my mind going there!

You're probably right. I do get a kick out of other people getting a kick out of it, though.

OKAY, SERIOUSLY.



He looks cheeky and adorable. I kind of want to keep him in my pocket.

SO MANY rude jokes about what he probably keeps in his pockets ... all wholly inappropriate to a solemn occasion ... (even the one I was going to put in this parenthesis.)

Ooh, and he's a dead ringer for his old man *cough*
