Personal Narrative: The Royal Wedding

1277 Words6 Pages

The worldwide fascination of royal weddings escalated over three decades ago when Prince Charles wed Diana, the Duchess of Wales. This phenomenon now continues with their sons Prince William and Prince Harry. Within the next three months, another Royal Wedding will be in the spotlight, specifically the wedding of Prince Harry to Meghan Markle. People from across the globe will be tuning in to watch this national phenomenon, just as they did for Prince William and Princess Kate’s wedding in the year 2011. Brit officials estimated that about two billion people worldwide tuned into the Royal family wedding of William and Kate, resulting in it being the largest audience for a single television event during this time period. As time has progressed …show more content…

Similarly, people across the country and globe people woke up, at early hours in order to tune into the national event, Prince William, and Princess Kate’s Wedding. Before attending school that day in 2011, I marched into my parent’s room wearing a classic vintage hat, correspondingly to those in which the wedding guests were wearing at the actual event. Despite being so young, I recall my excitement of the event and was so intrigued to learn more about the Royal Family. The Royal Wedding even seems to be an economy booster; I remember television networks, such as QVC, selling look replica items of Princess Kate’s engagement ring, which was Princess Diana’s ring originally. The Royal wedding seems to be a time where retailers can profit from selling Royal themed merchandise. By buying this merchandise, common people have the ability to feel more connected to members of the Royal …show more content…

This law states the monarch has the right to veto the marriage in order to protect those that could diminish the stature of the royal house. The law has since been changed during the year 2013, only affecting those directly in line for the throne, these specific individuals are the ones who need permission from the Queen before they pop the big question (Stephen). In fact, if the Queen views Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s marriage as unworthy she has the right to label the status of their engagement invalid, but this action has never been done by the queen herself. According to the requirements this law upholds, Meghan had multiple factors working against her. The fact that she is a divorced American with a mixed racial background, with no royal blood, are just some examples that indicate times have changed, in accepting individuals with

  • Obergefell V. Hodges Case In The US

    955 Words  | 4 Pages

    Roberts suggested that, “the fundamental right to marry does not include a right to make a State change its definition of marriage” (Roberts 2). When this Supreme Court decision was made it changed the definition of marriage forever. Never again will marriage be called a union between man and woman, but now it will be called a union between two people. Nowhere in any legal document does it say that the Supreme Court has the power to change the definition of marriage. The Supreme Court over stepped his bounds, which is what Scalia feared would happen when he says that every time a decision like Obergefell is made, that the Court is “reminded of [their] impotence.”

  • Loving V Virginia

    In spite of the fact that a privilege to marry is not listed in the Constitution, the Court said that such a privilege is covered under the Fourteenth Amendment in light of the fact that such choices are vital to our survival and our values. Accordingly, they should essentially reside with the individual instead of with the state. This choice is a conflict with the popular argument that something cannot be an actual constitutional right unless it is spelled out straightforwardly in the U.S. Constitution. It additionally stands out amongst the most imperative models on the general thought of common uniformity, clarifying that essential social equality is basic to our reality and cannot really be restricted on the grounds that a few people trust that their god can 't help

    This is especially presented in bigamy section 57. However, the meaning can become clear despite the piece of legislation not being renewed. As Twining and Miers (2010:342) states ‘shall marry is ambiguous…the interpretation is a possible one’. This means the judges will be left to interpret the stature related to the case in order to provide a normal reasonable outcome which can be achieved, but only with great care. According to Ormerod (2012: 274) he highlights there are a very small number of court of appeals that make decisions on the correct approach for sentencing bigamy.

    There is no fundamental constitutional right for two people of the same gender to participate in civil marriage. Civil marriage laws have a clear rational basis as a gender specific institution and serve a legitimate governmental purpose. There is no violation of due process involved when the legal institution of civil marriage reflects the social institution of marriage as it has always been defined for understandable and rational reasons. The notion that marriage is a discriminatory institution designed to subjugate women is unfounded as a matter of law and seems historically unfounded.
