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.”

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
