That boatneck neckline isn’t flattering on anyone. I think the dress would have been improved with any other modest neckline -maybe jewel cut.

Other than that, I didn’t watch the ceremony, don’t really care, but wish them well. Newly weds need all the well wishing they get.

The 23andMe database indicates that their black participants have considerable European ancestry, with a mean share of 24%. This might not reflect the black American population as a whole accurately. The Hispanic participants in Ancestry are a great deal more caucasoid than the Latin American mean. However, 24% is the figure you’ve got. Doria Ragland is more copportoned than is typical among blacks, so it’a reasonable wager that her personal ancestry is more caucasoid than that of most blacks. One might guess that Meghan Markle’s actual background is about 1/3 West African.

On her race, it’s interesting that the media mostly refers to the newly minted Duchess as black even though half of her existence wouldn’t have been possible for her white father.

I was also was channel surfing last night and stumbled upon the Smithsonian Channel where they had a segment about Harry and Meghan, saying that she’s in part different because of her wealth – about $30 million, though what wasn’t mentioned is, from my understanding, that this money is mostly inherited (wealthy Hollywood father). Her income is about $5 million from her own labor and business ventures.

I like simple and elegant too. So it was surprising how unflattering and boring the dress was.
Five years tops. He’ll run back to Chelsea – just like dear old Dad.
Hope I’m wrong.

The mother of the bride was wearing a beautiful outfit. Very elegant.

I hope that they will be happy. I have a small bet with my wife, an incurable romantic, about how long it will last.

The show was impressive. I do enjoy pomp. Unfortunately, the media gushing almost ruined it.

My youngest grand daughter was in Windsor, and stood at the kerb along with thousands of others to wave and cheer. She did not qualify for an invitation to stand within the castle grounds to express her devotion.

Confession. I was once introduced to Prince Charles and Diana during their visit to Brazil. It was awkward. The media fawning over her was beyond ridiculous.

It almost defies belief that the Brits still support the Royalty; and even more how the American media slobber over it.

I think the most acid internet comment I have seen on the matter is: “Out of work American actress marries Afghan war veteran from a family dependent on government income.”

The only problems with that would be

1. She’s worked continuously since 2005

2. The royal family does not receive ‘government income’. The Treasury allocates funds out of the Crown Estate. That supplements the private income the Queen and Prince of Wales receive from the Duchy of Cornwall and Duchy of Lancaster and the personal property Wm. and Harry have as Spencer heirs.
