We ended up watching several reruns and clips over the weekend.
Harry and Meghan were absolutely charming, William and Charles played their roles well.

In normal times, I would have ignored this wedding. Yet now I look at this as these young royals are going to be part of leading us out of the new fascism like their ancestors did.

We wish them well. We need some beacons, some bright spots right now.
