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.

You sound like enormous fun! Off to friend! And yes, I waver on Republicanism and Constitutional Monarchy -- intellectually, I am slightly in favour of the former, though I can also give a good case for the latter, but as shiv5468 has said, royals are better than pollies for launching ships and for visiting hospitals.
