MADE IT “TO” THE ROYAL WEDDING!

Well, I managed to get up early and had the T.V. on by a few minutes after 7 a.m. Harry and Meghan were already at the altar, but there have been enough reruns during the day for me to catch up.

What an amazing wedding. It was traditional in many ways, but sprinkled liberally with aspects of modern day times. The bride was beautiful and the groom so handsome. The bride’s mother was lovely too and very serene – a groom can always get an idea of what their bride will be like later in life from how their mother looks!

Meghan apparently had all of the Commonwealth emblems embroidered into her veil. Living in The Commonwealth of The Bahamas we will look forward to hearing more about Harry and Meghan’s plans for getting further involved in the Commonwealth. I have great hopes that this couple, who show so much love for each other and a mutual passion for humanitarian causes, will make a difference in the world.

THE ROYAL WEDDING

So Prince Charles is giving Meghan Markle away on the occasion of her marriage to Prince Harry! I always thought it had to be someone on the bride's side of the family if her father wasn’t available. My husband’s boss gave me away when I got married in The Bahamas. He was British, so sort of represented my side. Anyway, best wishes to the happy couple!

I will try to get up early tomorrow morning, as I really want to watch this exciting event on television. The wedding starts at 12 noon UK time, but it will only be 7 a.m. here in The Bahamas.

Here is my latest “Woman in Action” article that appears in “The Punch” on page 15 today about Author Latrell King, who wrote her bestselling book “A Mother’s Tragedy” to highlight the emotional and financial difficulties involved in raising a disabled child, something she has personally experienced.


Latrell is on the cover of the May 2018 issue of I AM QUEEN magazine and featured in that publication this month. Since writing my WIA article about Latrell, I have learned from the I AM QUEEN feature that she once appeared as a guest on the Steve Harvey Talk Show and also has her own cosmetic line “BeVogue”!
