ah Kate went one better re: craftsmanship – the lace on her dress was Irish. She also had detailing on the dress done by the royal school of needlework. She did a great job. Again this circus makes yu appreciate Kate and Will more.

Yep, you know, at the time I assumed that that was forced on her and that if you were a royal bride you HAD to use the Royal School of Needlework, Victorian flower language, lilies, traditional cake-making craftsmanship and all that stuff. I thought she just showed up and said “I like white,” and everything else they just kind of forced on her because “protocol” and “tradition.”

But, like, her vaunted discretion, it now appears to have been her own personality and her own appreciating for fine craftsmanship and tradition. Meghan has shown us that there is very little required protocol and tradition in any of this.
