    Ah ha ha. What a delightful read. Now wondering if this was aimed only at Meghan or pretty much any new entrant to the UK. I know I’d love it if it was laid out in such a hilarious fashion.

    I sincerely hope she takes note. You could probably do a whole new other on British food and British slang. Oh and I assumed it was non-debatable about Claire Foy. She is just amazing as our Lizzie.

      Hey Hayley yes totally agree – Claire Foy is my new favourite actress. I am practising delayed gratification on Series 2 of The Crown ! Thanks for commenting. Enjoyed writing that. I might do a follow up on food and / or slang. Great idea. Jill x

      HI Debbie thanks for commenting. I had fun writing that one. And yes I expect Meghan will be tuning in right now 🙂 Jill x

    I think she will have a lot to learn as an American coming into the Royal Family. You could be her go to person for learning her new role in the UK. Or, just a whole new blog dedicated to helping those of us who are not British, but long to be?!

    That’s Meghan’s orientation taken care of. You’ve saved the British taxpayer a fortune. Although she seems well-prepared already eg in making reference to the Commonwealth – perhaps she could write a blog to explain it to US.

    Lovely post. I’m always looking for more understanding of anything British even if I’m not going to marry a royal, although, as long as I’m here, are there any eligible British princesses hanging around?

    I had a good laugh. This was truly hilarious. I’m so very proud of Harry…we Caribbean gals have had our eyes on him… *wink wink*… and it’s been wonderful to see the outpouring of love and acceptance for them both.

    What a delightful read and I’d love Meghan to get here and share her thoughts and first impressions 😉 Indians know Brits, atleast we would like to say so. Some of those things like weather talk and class is here too 🙂

    Oh it made me laugh to read this article – we Brits are such complicated creatures!! LOL! Love the fact you mentioned the sunbed “wars” – very handy for Meghan to know that as on honeymoon she’ll need Harry to wake up at the crack of dawn to secure the sunbed spaces! …. 😊

    Fabulous, i hope the pair of them are really happy together. Really your post should be pinned on the British Consulate page for all visitors to the country. 🤣

    Boaty McBoatface is one of the all-time best things that ever happened. Brexit, not so much. But I’m just from the States, so what do I know?
