April 11, 2011 – Prince William married Kate – I had been working outside UK for almost a year. I clearly remember being at work in The Gambia and my Country Director (an Irish lady) & I, organising for a wide screen TV to be put in the meeting room so all those interested could watch the broadcast.
About 3 years after the wedding; in 2014 I returned back home to take up employment in the UK.
May 19, 2018 – Can you believe that today, when Princess Diana’s baby ties the knot with Megan; I am once again out of the UK on an official trip; and guess where at – The Gambia again!
Once again, missing all the ambience of the royal wedding that permeates the air in UK …. so not chuffed about that!
Harry is my favourite of Diana’s boys; mischievous & down to earth, with no airs about him… he sure does have Diana’s kind heart; & of course Megan one of my favourie Suits characters… a union between two of my favourite people … how fantastic. Wishing them both a long-lasting, blissfully happy union.
I have a front row seat to Harry & Meghan’s wedding via BBC World News in my hotel room ….
I trust Diana would be looking down on her boys today & smiling. She did a good job giving them a foundation that makes them well grounded men today… her legacy lives on in them. Continue to rest in peace Princess Diana.
