Now wedding fever is OFFICIALLY OVER – at least for another 20 or so years when either George or Charlotte decide to tie the knot – it’s time to take a deep, deep breath.
It was a right royal wedding extravaganza for me – was it good for you, too?
Eileen and I spent Friday decorating the Cat and Fiddle pub for our royal wedding viewing/slumber party. Then I nipped home and tried to get in a quick nap, to no avail. I returned to the pub about 11pm and Eileen and I decided it would be fun to wear our Harry and Meghan masks along with our onesies. Well we had no idea how popular we would be! Not only did the punters want photos with us but so did the world’s press. The Sun, The People, Reuters, SkyTV, ABC… it was slightly bonkers to be honest. I hosted a quick royal quiz where winning teams got to select prizes from my Oxford Street stall of nick-nacks. The Cat served sausage rolls, scotch eggs and ginger walnut scones during the wedding. There was laughter, there was tears, people were hugging each other. All in all it was jolly good fun. 6am came quickly and my bed was definitely calling.
The next day we were invited to the Consul-General’s graceful residence in Hancock Park for an afternoon tea hosted by the Dorchester Hotel. I went with this week’s Meet A Member subject Wendy Bain, and had a great conversation with Bruno Tonioli about the Dancing With The Stars finale.
And to cap the wedding fever off, we recorded our final podcast of Spilling Royal Tea wherein we discussed everything from the dress to the guests to the American bishop and to top it all off, my co-host Sean Mandell and I became lords and our producer Maggi Van Dorn a lady. Tune in to the last episode…now available on iTunes podcast and find out how it all happened.
Until next time!
