Speaking before the Privy Council yesterday, Queen Elizabeth declared (citing the Succession to the Crown Act 2013) "My Lords, I declare My Consent to a Contract of Matrimony between My Most Dearly Beloved Grandson Prince Henry Charles Albert David of Wales and Rachel Meghan, which Consent I am causing to be signified under the Great Seal and to be entered in the Books of the Privy Council." E! also reports that she met with the engaged couple on the 11th at Windsor Castle.

Also, the tinhats are starting to meltdown. LOL, they didn't think "it'd get this far" and are now claiming the Privy Council will only approve because they'll look racist if they don't.
Some examples here, here, and here.
You also have Anne Elizabeth Alice Louise, Andrew Albert Christian Edward and Edward Antony Richard Louis.
Charles just carried on a tradition. William only gave his kids two middle names each.
lol, this is the most relatable thing any royal has ever done.
We've heard no indication that she won't be attending this one, so either she's modernized, she truly no longer gaf in her old age, or Harry is truly her fave lmao
Also: "When Princess Anne married Timothy Laurence after having divorced Mark Phillips, she did so in the Church of Scotland. Remarriage of divorcees is less controversial in the Church of Scotland, and the sovereign has no constitutional role in the governance of the Church.[12]"

Were all those beheadings for naught??
lmao not even subtle about her favoritism toward harry
but yeah the crown makes her look really good.
the people they really write to be extra sympathetic are Margaret and Charles, although tbf Charles is a child so maybe we'll get more layers next season
I think Charles and William will probably be fine, but mostly because they've always lived in a world where the UK isn't a superpower and the monarchy isn't that relevant. The big transitions were made before their time.
