I don't remember anything about the wedding of Wills and Kate- which makes me think it wasn't very memorable. This seems somehow much bigger, more popular- all that sort of thing. Is that because Harry and Meghan are more fun? Or because of the transatlantic element?
Wills and Kate are more important of course- or are they? What counts for more in 2018- herditary right or media celebrity?
