Second picture thought bubble from the groom: "What have I done?"
Third picture, thought bubble from both both: "WTF?"
UK History ping
Can’t wait. I’ll be up all night.
Watching “Real Housewives” rerun shows from now until 2am on Bravo, then switching over to BBC America.
YESSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!
I guess I’ll record from BBC America — I was going to use Fox and then found out it was being hosted by S. Smith... No Thanks!!!
Silvie, TLC has some good stuff on, and BBC America had a killer program about Diana’s jewelry. I’m getting into the mood....
Why has nobody mentioned this before now? You’d think some news types would think this is a big deal.
That child is Winston Churchill’s great-granddaughter, so you might be right.
YES!
I forgot about TLC. I saw their commercial about the Royal Wedding programming when I was watching “Extreme Couponing” last week. Will switch over.
Thanks Lydia!
Is that Clementine Hambro?
Yes.
Mr Coldone cannot understand the big ta-doo about this!!!!
That name has always stuck with me, LOL.
I see that one of Kate’s little bridesmaids has the last name Armstrong-Jones, is she the daughter of Sarah Armstrong-Jones from Diana’s group?
Scratch that, she’d have a different last name, I presume. Must be a niece, though.
Royal/Monarchy History PING!
TLC had a great program Sunday night with India Hicks, who was one of Diana’s bridesmaids, interviewing the Emmanuels, and a bunch of other people involved in that wedding. I like India Hicks’ design blog so I really enjoyed the show. The tone of it was not screaming tabloids, but a little more calm and detail-oriented and thoughtful. Her mother was the Queen’s bridesmaid and so they both got out their bridesmaid’s dresses and compared them. Pretty cool.
