Fixed.

Meanwhile, I'm the only one of my family barring my younger cousin to have a middle name.

I have no middle name because my dad had to ask how to spell his middle name when signing the marriage certificate and my mum decided against them.

I can't work out if that's a justification or an alternative reason.

I think his excuse was he never used it much before. Add in some wedding nerves, probably lead him to ask. But still...

I'd rather forgotten they'd had a second child, so a third was a bit of a surprise. I'll cope though.

William is realising he blew his chances at a decent Battleyness score by being a Search and Rescue pilot, and his Scandal by not kidnapping any Nuns before getting married or murdering his brother, so he's doubling down on the Dynasty score. Wise move.

Although if you're going to marry someone from Suits, it clearly should be Donna.

Charles was technically a widower when he married Camelia, so if the future King can do it, then so can Harry I guess?

Nice to see he can marry someone he loves and who isn’t a first cousin

Wonder which Dukedom Harry will get? Also will she be still working on Suits?

Charlie married Camilla in a civil ceremony and had it blessed at a church. Not sure how far things have changed since then, but I guess it wasn't a problem for one of his more notable namesakes.

The only other thing I remember from that time was a Youtube parody called 'Camilla Queen', which still makes me smile.

I like how we've effortlessly moved from a royal engagement to 2 Pints. :)

I went out with someone who used to get compared to Donna a lot, which she hated, although I think it was more down to snobbery than anything else - she didn't like The Royle Family (almost back on thread track) because she didn't like to think people like that actually existed

Spectator waffling about the Royal Marriage being bad because she's a divorcee.

Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't the entire existence of the Church of England based on the desire for divorcees to get married, and Royals in particular?

For terrible opinion pieces on the engagement, I think Tatler is winning so far.
