More Royal Weddings Like This One Please

Peter Phillips, the Queen's eldest grandson, is one smart royal for having finally extended the franchise outside of England. It's about time a Canadian entered the radiant mix, just as it's time for Australia and New Zealand and anywhere else where the Crown still shines brightly.

With Autumn Kelly, the "Canadian Royal Family" now has a ring of truth to it, and why not with the British Royal Family already amalgamating the blood and genes of English and Scottish, German and French, Greek and Danish, etc - the more the merrier, I say. As one of our correspondents remarked last year, if Prince William married an Australian, the republican movement down there would be over before you could say glossy magazine.
