Thanks, Cynithia. I agree completly. I didn't mention her hair because I thought it was a wig. It was much longer and had different kind of curuls than her own. The other thing I didn't mention was how many opiners went out of their way to diss Meghan while discussing Kate. I'm happy to hear that she kept her composure at the wedding.
