11 Realistic Strategies To Be Able To Attend The Royal Wedding
@kensingtonroyal

If you’re at all like me, you’ve been (im)patiently waiting for your invitation to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's wedding at St. George’s Chapel on May 19. Sadly, my invitation will more than likely never arrive, but if you happen to fit one of these descriptions, an invitation might end up in your mailbox.

1. Be royal or a head of state

This goes without saying, but royals and heads of state from all over the world will be receiving invitations to reiterate and inspire their country’s bond with the United Kingdom. 45 foreign royals from 20 countries attended William and Kate’s wedding in 2011, so similar is expected for Harry’s.

2. Be almost royal

The extended family of the British Royal family will be in attendance as well along with those in England who hold a royal title. (Earl, Duke, Knight, etc.)

3. Be a sports star or musician


The likes of Serena Williams, David Beckham, Posh, and Sir Elton John will all be receiving invitations. If you’re a world-class athlete or musician, you could be attending as well.

4. Be a royal plus one

Princess Eugenie’s fiance Jack Brooksbank will get an invitation this year, as will Pippa Middleton and her husband James Mathews. While boyfriends/girlfriends don’t typically get invitations, fiancés and husbands can expect to be in attendance.

5. Work with a royal while in combat

Harry’s career has been built around his years of service in the British Royal Air Corps so it’s expected a few of his buddies will be there as he walks down the aisle.

6. Work at the royal wedding

So maybe you won’t be sitting in the pews at the church, but at least you can say you were there.

7. Sneak in

While it’s highly unlikely that you could actually pull this off considering the amount of security detail that will be on the premises, if the guys in Wedding Crashers can do it, who says you can’t?

8. Go on a class field trip

100 local school children are going to be invited to attend the wedding. Sounds like a pretty good reason to wake up early on a Saturday.

9. Be a representative of one of Harry’s charities

Harry is known for his servant’s heart, and 200 of those who help out with his charities will be in attendance.

10. Be a staff member of the Royal Household and Crown Estate or the Windsor Castle community

Over 1000 staff members will be invited to the royal wedding, and it’s not too late to work for the Royal Family. Just make sure you get hired before May 19!

11. Be selected by a Lord Lieutenant


The Queen has nine Lord Lieutenants – one for each of the counties in England. Kensington Palace explained to Elle UK, “In deciding who to nominate, [The Lord Lieutenants] have been asked to give consideration to include people from a broad range of backgrounds and ages, including young people who have shown strong leadership, and those who have served their communities, but otherwise have left it to them.”

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
