    I remember turning on the tv and expecting to see SNL on, and instead there was a live news report. They were showing an aerial shot of a fairly non-descript road in a city that was filled with emergency vehicles -- I guess they were in a helicopter. Then they said that Princess Diana had died in a car crash and I was just shocked.

    I remember my roommate telling me the news, and I froze and said, "That's not funny." The news was so unbelievable that I thought she was joking even though she was crying as she talked about it. My roommates were from England. We stayed up the night before the funeral because the footage was airing early in the morning in the US. I remember sitting on the floor, right in front of the television.

    I think I was working in a restaurant and saw it on one of the TVs and everyone started talking about it. I remember not really being too invested in it, only because I was a teenager and didn't really pay attention to her or even grasp her significance. I didn't understand why people were making such a fuss over it. Famous people die all the time was I guess how I thought back then.

    I remember being in a hotel with my parents and it came on the news.

The Wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle!

First things first, Meghan's dress was gorgeous. It was simple, elegant, and stunning. The second thing is, the fasinators were amazing! But, before I get into that, let's start at the beginning. This is how I viewed the wedding. 4:00 am - Turned on the television. At this point, people had not started to arrive yet, and it was mainly reporters speculating about Meghan's dress. 4:30 to 5:00 am - People started to come, mainly aristocrats, Hollywood stars, and friends of Harry and Meghan, including Oprah Winfrey, Serena Williams, and Prince Harry's ex Chelsy Davy. Reporters also interviewed people who had charities that Harry and Meghan supported. Sometime after that, (I lost track of the time,) some more celebrities and aristocrats came, including the Middletons, the Beckhams and the Clooneys, as well as some more actresses. Then, the royal family began to arrive. The first royal that I saw was Zara Tindall, who is  pregnant with her second child, who is due v

Royal Wedding Traditions

  Royals love tradition, and royal weddings are the perfect place to see some of their traditions. With two royal weddings on the way, I thought it would be interesting to share some royal wedding tradition with you, and tell you which traditions so far we know Meghan Markle and Prince Harry plan not to do, and if Princess Eugenie has a traditional wedding, what she could do. My personal favorite cake flavor is chocolate. But, the British Royal Family's traditional wedding cake flavor is.... Fruit Cake! Yes, it is traditional to serve fruit cake at a royal wedding. Some royals who have followed this tradition are: Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip, Prince Charles and Princess Diana, and the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge (William and Kate). But, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have opted for a different flavor of cake. Banana Cake. Apparently, according to  People Magazine, Prince Harry loves bananas. Princess Eugenie, has not released anything about her wedding c
