Harry & Meghan!
I would like to wish the new Duke and Duchess of Sussex many congratulations on their Wedding today. Many of the bars have opened their doors early here on the Costa Blanca, giving Expats the chance to celebrate Harry and Meghan's big day. I myself will be sat quietly watching the celebrations at home away from the fray. In the past I have celebrated every Royal occasion in my own unique way; this time however I am saving my celebrations for when I return to the UK next week!
Even though I live abroad, I am proud of my British roots, I am a supporter of the Royal Family and will always have strong affection for the country of my birth. I have heard much criticism of the institution of Monarchy over the years and just ignore the haters. The Queen and her family represent me and my country and they do it without reservation. As I sit here watching the television and the cross section of British society attending the Marriage, I am struck by the diverse nature of all those arriving. Prince Harry and Meghan represent a new breed of Royal, modern, accepting and two people who have already broken the mould, doing things their way, for that reason we should all give them our full support and wish them well with their life together.
Britain has once again pulled out all the stops, showing the World how to conduct a truly special occasion. This time the ceremony was very different from others gone before; the British Monarchy has entered the 21st century and it feels like a breath of fresh air has swept through the nation. At times I smiled, wiped a tear from my eye and had a very real sense I was witnessing the birth of something new; once pandora's box has been opened, it can't be closed again. Harry and Meghan will add their own unique style to the workings of Monarchy. Already the public have warmed to her and them both as a couple; the future looks secure for the new Duke and Duchess. They deserve all our support and an acceptance of the unaccustomed dawn breaking over the green fields of England. May you both be happy, always!
