Five myths about the British royals
by from on (#3PZAC)
The wedding of Britain's Prince Harry and American Meghan Markle is Saturday, May 19, and royal fever is running hot. A Harry-and-Meghan-themed pop-up bar opened in Washington on May 4, and Georgetown Cupcake is selling lemon-elderflower treats all month in honour of the couple's wedding cake. If U.S. television ratings for the nuptials of Harry's brother (about 23 million viewers) and parents (17 million) are any guide, millions of Americans will wake up early to watch Markle's transition from television actress to real-life royalty. For all the U.S. interest, though, the British crown remains surrounded by misconceptions.
