If you grow weary of the inescapable wall-to-wall coverage of the royal wedding, just imagine what the bride and groom are going through.
I can’t be absolutely sure of this but faced with the enormity of their undertaking, Harry and Meghan might secretly be pining for a quick escape to Vegas where they would be privately married by an unconvincing Elvis impersonator.
The media frenzy means republicans can’t ignore what to us is a grim, long and drawn out piece of bad theatre but we might have some fun tomorrow by musing darkly on such regal conundrums like, what happens if Harry and Meghan have twins? Will the second born be whisked away to a distant castle with an iron mask placed on its bonce?
Full column here.
Fixed to our screens? GULP!!!
In the last week or so I have really begun to appreciate the upside of near term human extinction. The species is an embarrassment to the universe.
Having said that, I admire young Prince Henry for his acumen and drive, I believe he has cobbled together a worth of thirty million dollars by the age of 33. That’s a pretty good effort what with his civic duties and all that.
He will be a good provider. One has ones fingers crossed for the offspring but my head tells me to take the odds offered at 5/4 on they will be ratbags.
Lovely comment Mr Baptiste always knew you were a Royalist at heart. Top news too on the POTUS Trump and Kim Jong un front they are due to meet in Singapore on June 12th. Cheers
As you point out, Prince Henry is the most real of the royals. And his little lovely bride is the first Yank since Wallis Simpson to marry into the family, thereby deepening the gene pool.
Will I watch? Depends on if I’m grading business plans at that time. I wish the couple well.
Or muddying the waters!
(Don’t take that the wrong way).
The most real human of that lot, but a Royal? Hmmmmn.
What a shame, I am unable to access TV in outback SA…..I’m sure it will all go swimmingly, but dare I say, does she know what that family is really like? I am of course an expert on the Royal Family having watched both series of The Crown.
*lol* With those credentials I’m surprised you don’t have a special on the ABC tonight.
In case anyone missed it, Peter Hoysted gets a favourable mention in todays Media watchdog by Gerard Henderson.
Footy tips
My usual footy watching pub, the Globe in Graham St Central, will be denied to sports fans tomorrow as the whole place is booked out for the wedding.
No complaints from my mates, who own the place, as the last Royal Wedding was their best ever revenue day in the pub, beating Rugby and Football World Cups, Grand Finals, Typhoon Days, everything.
It will be awash in Prosecco and Pimms, and good on em for having a good time.
My Princess and I will be watching the Wedding, Mr Insider, both being big fans of the Royals. I don’t know how true this is but it has been reported in the Media that Meghan’s Royal Title will be ” Her Royal Highness Princess Henry of Wales”, using her husband’s name which is Henry not Harry. If true seems a fit rough on Meghan as she doesn’t look anything like a “Princess Henry” one would imagine one to be!
A couple of nice one liners there JTI. Good to see you back to your Friday arvo form! Would an iron mask be heavy? Would it rust causing unsightly stains on the white shirt which only Mrs Marsh could remove?
I’m now keen for a republic once Lizzy calls it quits. Couldn’t stand that greeny Charlie in charge.
My son and myself will be watching the NRL, courtesy of Foxsports and a dodgy IPN, in a seperate room on his laptop whilst Mrs Razor and soon to be daughter-in-law Razor have made arrangements to watch the wedding in another room. I’d personally rather eat my own scrotum but to sorta quote Maggie; ‘Those girls aren’t for turning!’
Razorette?
Watching Mr Razor eat his own scrotum isn’t something I would watch on a live television broadcast but I would certainly approve of it.
(Idea from a quote by Mark Twain)
I fancy that i’m the only normal one in my mob; the wife is not so sure. I could think of nothing worse than having the exploits of family members becoming front page news. The embarrassment of it all. Good luck to them. I’ll be watching and wouldn’t be surprised if I get a bit teary eyed. Weddings provide ample reasons for tears.
