I’m surprised it is so like the invitation to her first wedding

- MARGARET HOLDER

I FIND it fascinatin­g that Meghan has picked a photo so reminiscen­t of the save-the-date card for her first wedding, left. Surely it is something she would want to forget?

She seems to like this rear view. The Sussexes’ card is an interestin­g picture which shows a happy moment. But it’s an insight into a celebratio­n which doesn’t tell us much about the couple. It actually misses out much more than it shows. I think that the Kate and William one is a lovely picture of a young couple with their three happy children.

They are dressed like lots of other people in jeans and casualwear. The fact that Kate doesn’t care that Charlotte is wearing a hand-medown makes her even closer to us. It shows that they are not part of this throwaway society.

What better sign for the monarchy than this happy young couple?
