My very own royal wedding invitation.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Are you sure you are ready for this?<\/p>\n

This is the first time I\u2019ve been in this country for a big royal wedding. I was in New York when William and Kate married, and watching a royal wedding in the US is a whole experience in itself. They love a royal wedding over there almost as much as we do.<\/p>\n

I guess my invitation to this royal wedding must have been lost by the Royal Mail. But that\u2019s all right. I made my own invitation to my very own royal wedding.<\/p>\n

The funny thing – when writing the book, which was before Harry and Meghan were even officially dating, I had my bride invite a lot of everyday people to fill the courtyard around the palace chapel to join in the fun. And of course, that\u2019s exactly what Meghan did. Now I am curious to see if THE dress in any way resembles mine. Or the flowers. Or\u2026<\/p>\n

So – do you want to know my number one royal wedding smile\u2026 <\/p>\n

A few nights ago, I was at a concert in Greenwich and fell in love.. With this…<\/p>\n

\"\"
Pretty. Shiny. Not too much?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

It was in the window of such an interesting and petty shop full of lovely sparkly things. I really really wanted to go inside and try it on. But I just knew that if I did, money would be spent. So I left it there and will have to have my royal wedding day without it. But I have the photo as my royal wedding souvenir.<\/p>\n

\"\"
What a wonderful setting for a wedding.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I always cry at weddings – even my own. Maybe especially my own. There is now only one more sleep to go. I will be sitting in front of the TV tomorrow, with a box of tissues handy. There may even be something of a celebratory nature. Here\u2019s hoping the sun shines.<\/p>\n

And the last royal wedding moment, comes from the bride and groom themselves, from the window of a lovely old pub just next to Windsor Castle.<\/p>\n

Oh look – I think I know them.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Enjoy tomorrow. I will.<\/p>\n
