Now when we ponder royal events in all their lavish glory, royal weddings certainly stand out.
King Edward VIII and Wallis Simpson
We’re starting with an oldie but a goodie.
Did you know that Queen Elizabeth II never expected to be queen when she was a young royal?
The couple got married in 1937, tying the knot in a very intimate ceremony.
None of the royal family members, however, were in attendance.
The course of the modern monarchy was forever changed by Edward’s singular decision.
But of course, it wasn’t without drama.
Let’s startwayback at the beginning when Harry introduced Meghan to the royal scene.
Meghan’s identity as a mixed-race American divorcee sadly and unfairly led to some adverse reactions.
For this dramatic royal wedding, we’re taking a look at Japan’s Princess Mako.
According toThe New York Times, Mako the current emperor’s niece married Kei Komuro in October 2021.
“What’s the big deal?”
you might be asking.
“I love Mako.
“I acknowledge that there are various opinions about our marriage.
I feel very sorry for the people to whom we gave trouble.
“I had been through several unhappy romances,” Kelly said of her romantic life.

with, “Whatever ‘in love’ means” (viaHarper’s Bazaar).
Cue the disaster signals.
“I think Charles didn’t want to go into the wedding on a false premise.
He wanted to square it with her and it was devastating for Diana.”
Of course, the two did get married, but their union was famously not a happy one.
They formallydivorcedin 1996, and Diana tragically died in 1997.
“Stories about them were legion, with their star-studded parties at Kensington Palace.
If you were being invited by them you were being invited to breathe in rarified air.”
His 2005 wedding to Camilla Parker Bowles, now Queen Consort Camilla, was alongtime coming.
Of course, in expected royal flair, the day didn’t come and go without some controversy.
To make matters worse, the public was firmly against Charles and Camilla’s union.
To this day,YouGovpolling doesn’t have Camilla and Charles reigning the top of the public approval list.
So what does this have to do with Andrew’s wedding?
