Prince Harry and Megan

Duchess of Sussex nee Megan Markle
From an actress to a Duchess with diamonds that sparkle
Just like in the movies enchanting Prince Harry
Now forever doth have servants, for to fetch and to carry 

Duke of Sussex our Prince Harry
Females young and old, dreamt it would be them he’d marry
Loving him; desiring him; imagining life with handsome Prince Redhead
Day dreams destroyed that historic day, when Harry wed Megan instead

Just now seeing your reply to me as I come back with congrats on your win. So sorry about Frank. That is really something that William talked to you both. I got to stop off in London and spend a bit of time around there on my way back from Semester Abroad in Spain. It was summer of '74. Times like for never more! (cause I am married to a guy who won't travel)

Thank you for your lovely congrats Andrea. Now ten years since Frank passed, but it still seems like only yesterday. Glad you were able to visit London, a place I go to often as I so enjoy going to the West End theatres. Kindest thoughts Ann xx

A very good choice of a 'couple', Ann. Like Andrea I had already decided that you're British, and I'm pleased that my guess was correct:) I love Kent, but that is South East, I suppose. Congratulations on your win. Regards // paul

Very Clever, Ann. I read your comment to Andrea. It must have been a blessing to meet Prince William. Sorry about the loss of Frank :( Congratulations on your win in the contest :) Charlie

Aww thank you so much Charlie for your lovely comments I really appreciate your kindness. Yes it was a blessing to meet Prince William, who sat with us for 15 minutes as Frank and him chatted about everything. The nurse kindly took a pic on my phone of William and I sitting next to Frank's bed, which I now treasure, as it is my last pic of my darling...

Everyone was rooting for Harry to marry and now his wife's ties to America have brought us a stronger link to the royal family. Loved this Ann. Congratulations on your win! : )

Thank you Connie for your lovely comments and congrats. They both seem besotted with each other and are expecting a newborn in the spring, so a fairytale romance methinks. Kindest thoughts Ann xx

Expressed very well by a British citizen. Nobody's clerihew could have done this couple prouder! (now please don't tell me you are not British!!)

Haha, yes I am British and live in the South of England beside the sea! Thanks for your lovely comments Andrea. Have you ever visited the British Isles? I love all our royals especially the Queen, but I do have a soft spot for 'the boys', having had the honour of meeting Prince William 10 years ago when he made an unannounced visit to the Royal Marsden hospital, where he's patron, as his mother was before. He sat and spoke with Frank and I; sadly Frank lost his fight with cancer 11 days later, but William's visit certainly lifted our spirits on that wonderful day. Kindest thoughts Ann xx
