An Important Royal Note

I've always had respect for Prince Harry as he's a proper soldier, known both for repeatedly risking his life in Afghanistan and also for partying like an animal in Las Vegas.  Sorry, bluenoses, but the adrenaline from repeatedly surviving will result in an overzealous celebration of life once one is again safe.  Which reminds me, I owe Charley's Bar in Somers Point, New Jersey for some glassware that was inadvertently smashed back in 1975.

Anyway, his wife-to-be will never be Princess Whatever Her Name Is, regardless of what the millennials who slept through history class who work as researchers for NBC News seem to think.  She may never bear the title of "Her Royal Highness", either.  That's just the way it goes, as Harry isn't first in line for the throne.  She will, however, be the Duchess of...Earl or something, whatever Harry's lesser title may be.  Not bad for a D-list TV actress who, at 36, is about to "age out" of the good acting roles.

Interesting Update:  The Crown has declared the Duchess of Earl-to-Be a "Protestant".  She is to be baptized and confirmed in the Church of England before the wedding so that she and the duke may be married in Westminster St. George's chapel at Windsor.

Given his recent comments, we're assuming the Archbishop of Canterbury, who I am told is also Grand Knight of Snobbery and Lord of the Privy (I don't recognize these titles, but this isn't really my specialty given I'm an American and all), will have her assure him that she is not a supporter of the current occupant of the White House.
