Another (Sort Of) Royal Wedding

Remember this?

Prince William turned four on June 21, 1986; one month later he served as a pageboy at Uncle Andrew's wedding to Sarah Ferguson. Now it's his kids' turn. Kate's sister Pippa is getting married on May 20 and her royal niece and nephew are in the wedding party. George will be two months shy of four years old, Charlotte will have just turned two on May 2. Will they steal the show? Almost certainly, and they'll probably look way cooler than William did during his "official debut:"

Prince Harry is also attending, either with or without girlfriend Meghan Markle. I've seen articles saying that of course she'll be there, indicating the strength of the relationship, but there is also reporting that Pippa is sticking to a strict "No Ring, No Bring" policy. Will Harry and Meghan eventually go the distance and tie the knot? No way to know, but once royal in-law Pippa is married, royal romantics will turn their eyes to Harry and wonder longingly, when, Harry? When?

After all, Harry is now older than his father Charles was when he married Diana. At some point soon it will be time to get on with it, if not with Meghan then with someone else. In the meantime, now that Kensington Palace has confirmed the royal kids' participation in Pippa's wedding, will she get a People cover story? It wouldn't surprise me.
