The Musings Of An Opinionated Sod [Help Me Grow!]

This is not because I’m a Brit.

Nor is it because I quite like the Royal Family.

And it has absolutely nothing to do with me finding Ms Markle very attractive.

It’s not even because I think Harry is a bit of a legend – from how he dealt with the incredible sadness he faced as a little boy to how he embraced the ‘perks’ of being a prince who knows he won’t be King to just being an upstanding gent in his later years.

OK, so it might be a bit because of all that, but there’s another reason.

The main reason.

It’s because they are in love.

Proper love.

You saw it so clearly by how they interacted on their first interview post engagement.

How happy they are together.

How much they like to be in each others presence.

That they share the same energy and interests in their life.

It’s absolutely delightful.

Not because the Royal Family have tended to find it hard to open up their feelings without seemingly being self-conscious about it, but because it’s just lovely to see lovely people in love.

And while I’ve watched many a Royal Wedding – the last in Shanghai, where Jill made this amazing cake for everyone at Wieden, even though we all watched it more out of duty than interest – tomorrow I’ll be watching the splendor of British pomp and ceremony and wishing them all the best, because to still be happy and united given all the shit they’ve had to cop both before and during their relationship means they are well placed to enjoy a wonderful life together.

They both deserve it.
