Even though I’ve never fantasized marrying a prince, I couldn’t help but get caught into the Royal Wedding frenzy. The fascinators, the dresses, and best of all, the moment Prince Harry saw Meghan Markle in her wedding dress. I’m not crying. You’re crying.
My life is finally back to normal a few weeks later, but I can’t stop thinking about the royal couple’s love story. It resembles a plot from a larger than life romance novel: a reformed playboy prince falls in love with a divorced feminist actress. Can you imagine the sexual chemistry between those two? I would read the heck out of that book!
