    Contents Title Page Chapter 1 Chapter 2 Chapter 3 Chapter 4 Chapter 5 Chapter 6 Chapter 7 Chapter 8 Chapter 9 Chapter 10 Chapter 11 Chapter 12 Photo Section Copyright CHAPTER 1 On May 19th 2018, when Meghan Markle stepped out of the antique Rolls Royce conveying her and her mother Doria Ragland from the former Astor stately home Cliveden to St. George’s Chapel, Windsor, where she was due to be married at 12 noon, she was a veritable vision of loveliness. At that moment, one of the biggest names of the age was born. As the actress ascended the steps of St. George’s Chapel, its interior and exterior gorgeously decorated in the most lavish and tasteful spring flowers, she was a picture of demure and fetching modesty, stylish elegance, transparent joyousness, and radiant beauty.

All bridal gowns make statements. Diana, Princess of Wales, according to her friend Carolyn Pride, used hers to announce to the world, ‘Here I am.

  • New Kind of Royals: on Third Anniversary, Harry and Meghan Embrace Revolutionized Royal Roles
    5/19/2021 Harry, Meghan Markle celebrate 3rd anniversary as 'celebrity' royals CELEBRITIES New kind of royals: On third anniversary, Harry and Meghan embrace revolutionized royal roles Maria Puente USA TODAY Published 6:00 a.m. ET May 19, 2021 Updated 4:44 p.m. ET May 19, 2021 Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan of Sussex celebrate their third wedding anniversary Wednesday as royals in the process of reinventing themselves, devising new hybrid roles no other senior British royals have ever inhabited. Can they achieve all they desire? "I personally feel Harry and Meghan are going to be just fine; what we don't know is the ramifications for the British royal family," says Nicoletta Gullace, associate professor of history at the University of New Hampshire, who specializes in modern British history. Still, it's a question no one could have imagined asking on May 19, 2018, when Harry married the former Meghan Markle in a joyful ceremony at Windsor Castle that blended American grace with British pageantry. On Wednesday, to mark their anniversary, the couple announced that their Archewell Foundation and one of their charity partners, World Central Kitchen, would build a new community relief center in Mumbai, India, https://www.usatoday.com/story/entertainment/celebrities/2021/05/19/prince-harry-meghan-markle-celebrate-third-anniversary-as-celebrity-royals/5091425001/ 1/6 5/19/2021 Harry, Meghan Markle celebrate 3rd anniversary as 'celebrity' royals now dealing with a devastating second wave of COVID-19. "During future crises, these centers can be quickly activated as emergency response kitchens – or vaccination sites – and through calmer times they can serve as food distribution hubs, schools, clinics or community gathering spaces for families," according to a statement on the Archewell website.
