Did you watch the Royal Weddings, any opinions on that front? I think they have been good for the most part.
The funeral of Queen Elizabeth II will be one of the defining events of century in my opinion. Word is: she is very private, but deeply committed to her faith. So I am sure that will shine through in the ceremonies.
For every young British girl who dreams of growing up to marry a Prince, forget it. Inbred Harry just showed that a citizen of the UK isn’t good enough. He looked abroad for his bride.
If you mean the two big recent ones, I've seen parts of both. I have yet to sit in one place and watch either continuously because of my schedule and my priorities.
Whether the people involved are famous or not, I'm not most interested in watching weddings to see the spectacle in itself, to notice what the bride is wearing, or for "sentimental" reasons. (I can say similar things about funerals and even coronations.)
Instead, I'm most interested in the messages communicated to millions of viewers--particularly about such weighty subjects as marriage itself, and particularly within what is at least nominally an act of Christian worship that many of those viewers would otherwise not watch (such as a Pentecost evensong the next day). Much of these messages is present in the orders of service, which I can read conveniently enough without having to try video.
If a royal wedding were some nearly or entirely secular event, I'd find it considerably less interesting.
I did quickly compare this order of service reproduced online and the texts for marriage in Common Worship, the fairly new liturgical texts of the Church of England. (The Book of Common Prayer is still authorized, but I hear that it's used considerably less.) I didn't find any very obvious deviations here. In particular, there was some talk about Meghan "altering" the vows to omit language about obeying, but the usual vows in Common Worship already lack any promise to obey.
What I notice the most about the printed order is that inclusion of "Stand by Me": call me old-fashioned, but I wouldn't have chosen something secular at that point.

I've heard similar things about her, though I really don't know her enough to say what her private commitments are. I expect that funeral details have been arranged--there've been arrangements made for many other things, so we hear, and U.S. presidents at least supposedly do the same.
