It's the weekend of the Royal wedding, the television equivalent of a mandatory powerpoint presentation at work. But crack open some sparkling wine and raise a glass to the thought of a half hour news program featuring no mention of Brexit, Russia meaningful content. For those small shops up and down the land selling small flags and London bus keychains, it's truly a day of celebration. Or if you have zero interest in the whole thing, why not go for a day out at the Legoland in Windsor which I suspect has fairly low attendance and short queues for the rides this weekend.

The press coverage really built all week, culminating in the wedding itself although I personally think it's a missed opportunity not to try sending an undercover reporter along to the stag do or hen night, presumably pretending to be an Arab prince like they always do to snare corrupt politicians. It would be nice to see, for instance, whether princess Anne could out-drink Kate or whether Harry uses Euros at the 'gentleman's club' - as compared to £20 notes which are all of course small pictures of his grandmother.

The wedding itself though, Prince Charles stepped in to walk Meghan down the aisle after her father was unable to attend due to health reasons. He was recently exposed trying to make money out of the event by staging some paparazzi shots and he has subsequently apologized although will presumably have to spend the rest of his life on medication as well as on the lookout for a white Fiat Uno. I'm joking of course, Prince Phillip prefers the new hybrid-electric Fiat 500 these days, there's some great finance deals out there right now and the Queen is, as we know, thrifty.

So what now? Presumably lots of drinking and normal news service will be restored sometime into next week when Theresa May once more refuses to rule out a customs arrangement. With any luck, Harry and Meghan might be persuaded to have a child in March 2019, just to take the edge off the Brexit stuff.
