Windsor streets too small for the royal wedding

-

SIR – Why Windsor for the royal wedding? If Harry and Meghan are to work for the Commonweal­th, wouldn’t it be a nice gesture to invite Commonweal­th representa­tives?

This is not just a family wedding. People from round the world would want to fill the streets and cheer the happy couple. The streets of London would be full, and Windsor, although pretty, is far too small. Susie Smith

SIR – St George’s Chapel, Windsor, is beautiful and historic, but its layout makes it less than ideal for a large wedding. The nave is connected to the chancel by a small doorway, so those in the congregati­on are almost isolated from events in the chancel.

They will see the royal party processing along the aisle before passing through the doorway; after that, they will only hear the service. I have had the privilege of attending Garter services. It is quite tantalisin­g. David Vaudrey

SIR – Why is Meghan Markle described as of mixed race, but Barack Obama (also of mixed race) is always described as America’s first black president? Jackie Circus

SIR – John Culling (Letters, November 29) reports that his Norfolk terrier barked loudly at Ms Markle when she appeared on television. Lest this most intelligen­t of breeds be thought disloyal, I wish to report that our Norfolk terrier, Daisy, gazed appreciati­vely at the future princess when she appeared on the news. Mind you, she does the same with Jeanclaude Juncker and Kim Jong-un. Irving Wells
