The Empty Seat - Updated

Sharp-eyed royal wedding viewers noticed an empty seat next to Prince William. Was it symbolically saved for the woman who wasn't there, William and Harry's mother, Princess Diana? It's a sentimental thought but no, it turns out there's a more prosaic reason. Apparently the seat was empty so as not to block the view of the Queen, seated directly behind it in the second row. Why not just put the Queen in the first row? I have no idea.

More royal wedding blogging to come? Probably.

Saturday night update: I love this picture:
