It has been formally announced this 27th day of November in the year 2017 that a British royal - Prince Henry of Wales (known to drinking buddies as Prince Harry) - is marrying an American divorcée.
The last time this happened - in 1936 when King Edward VIII decided to wed American socialite Wallis Simpson it triggered a crisis inside Windsor Castle.
For one thing, Simpson was about to divorce for the second time. Also, she was from Baltimore.

Honestly, until she started dating Prince Harry, I had never heard of her. You must admit, she’s not exactly a “household name”.
I googled her name and saw where she is in some obscure TV show that I’ve never heard of. I don’t understand why people talk about her like she’s a well-known “star”.
IMO, Prince Harry could do much better. For his sake, I hope the union works out. He seems like a nice guy.
Umm...He is a Prince and she is an unknown, obscure actress seeking fame and fortune.
I had to google her name to learn who she is. Never heard of that TV show she is in.
Harry seems like a nice guy. I can’t say the same about her...
Their child certainly is, though!
Elaine: “Fake. Fake. Fake.”
“Her ethnicity is neither here nor there...”
Your opinion; everyone has one.
Wealth? A fair bit, though not megabucks. Power? None whatsoever.
It’s a perfectly nice city with lots of joi de vivre but the politics takes on a decidedly anti english tone from the whole separatist theme that has been going on for decades. The royal family is at the apex of what is viewed as centuries of English oppression.
Thank you. I appreciate and now understand your good explanation.
