The wedding was marvelous, the weather superb. Crowds ten deep along the mall to Windsor Castle. An American bride for the warrior-prince. The pubs rang out with cheers “To the Royal Couple”!
A breath of fresh air; the Brits are always up for a breath of fresh air. They gave us the Rolling Stones, the Beatles, and the miniskirt, for heaven’s sake.

All this, and at so little cost to the bride.

Patel added, according to The Telegraph, that she would do the same, saying: “If I saw somebody flouting coronavirus regulations and the laws, of course I would look to inform the police about that.
