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 thoroughly enjoyed the whole thing. Loved the dress, the bride was stunningly gorgeous, Abbey looked great with the trees in, Harry and Wills SO adorable together I almost DIED (apparently a lipreader was commenting earlier online and said Harry kept asking Wills if he was okay - AWWWW), loved the kiss, Kate beaming in the carriage and on the balconey, and everyone in their finery. Fantastic hats (except the one reindeer one - Eugenie or Beatrice? I get them mixed up). I was very glad to be in London for all the festivities and enjoying the still-partying atmosphere here today!

Oh BLESS! And yes, they all looked lovely. I do like a good bit of pomp and circumstance! I wasn't keen on either Eugenie or Beatrice's hats or outfits -- both were fine in and of themselves, but belonged on fifty-year-olds, not pretty young girls.

I'm half jealous, you know! In the immortal words of Bill and Ted, party on, dude!
