So, there was another wedding that took place on planet Earth this afternoon, this time it was the Earl Spencer’s wedding. Charles decided to marry for the 900th time to Canadian-born Karen Gordon at Althorp castle in Northamptonshire, England.
The ceremony was private and attended by only a few selected guests. According to the Daily Mail, the bride wore a:
…fitted lace dress [with a] daring plunging v-neck and held a tumbling bouquet of white and cream flowers. Her long brunette hair was worn loose and a pair of delicate pearl earrings shone out from underneath her slightly curled style.
After the short ceremony the couple took photos (where they looked absolutely thrilled with each other), chatted with their guests, then gorged on food in the dining hall at Althorp.
They’ll be divorced in a year.

Yes, it’s that time again; time for your daily royal documentary, ladies and gentleman. This evening I have linked an old interview with The Prince and Princess of Wales from the 1980’s. By the way, pay no attention to the guy with the creepy Tom Selleck mustache at the beginning of the program… just put him on mute. 🙂

The Royal Windsor Horse Show has been:
…an annual fixture for which the Royal Family have a great affection.
Held annually for five days in May or June in Windsor Home Park, the Royal Windsor Horse Show has always enjoyed the enthusiastic support of the Royal Family.
It began in 1943 with the founding of the Royal Windsor Horse Show Club which was set up to hold horse shows for charity. King George VI became its Patron and the first Royal Windsor Horse was held on 27 May 1944, attended by numerous members of the Royal Family including the King and Queen. Princess Elizabeth (now our current Queen) won the Single Private Driving on her pony Hans and Princess Margaret won the Wartime Utility Driving Class on the King’s Fell pony Gipsy.
The show steadily grew in popularity and size during the latter half of the 20th century and Royal involvement continued. The Queen became Patron in 1952, and two years later she donated The Queen’s Cup for Armed Services team jumping.
Her Majesty still attends each year along with other members of her family.(source)
With that being said, here is yet another documentary about the Royal Windsor Horse show with appearance and commentary from The Duke of Edinburgh.
