Royal Wedding: Meghan and Harry Remains the Talk of the World

Details have emerged from the star-studded evening reception to celebrate the marriage of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.

The world watched as Harry and Meghan tied the knot at St George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle in front of guests including the Queen, more than 30 royals and Hollywood royalty including Oprah Winfrey, Serena Williams, the Clooneys and the Beckhams.

More than 100,000 people turned out to see the couple ride through Windsor in an open-top carriage before a lunchtime reception with 600 guests in St George’s Hall hosted by the Queen, which included a performance by Sir Elton John.

Later, the couple changed for an evening reception with 200 guests at nearby Frogmore House hosted by Prince Charles.

For the black-tie do, Meghan changed from wedding gown designed by Clare Waight Keller for Givenchy, to a lily white halter neck by Stella McCartney.

She was spotted wearing an emerald cut aquamarine ring which belonged to Diana, Princess of Wales – believed to be a poignant wedding day gift from Harry.

Harry drove his new wife from Windsor Castle in a silver blue classic convertible Jaguar E-Type Concept Zero with a number plate bearing the date of the wedding – E190518.

The car was originally manufactured in 1968 and has been converted to electric power.

The newlyweds were joined by 200 guests at the glamorous reception, reportedly compered by James Corden.

The evening reportedly included a speech by Prince Charles in which he spoke about feeding Harry a bottle and changing his nappy, before culminating in a huge firework display that lit up the sky.

On Sunday morning, the Queen left Windsor Castle to go to church.

Earlier, the Royal family thanked all those who had enjoyed the wedding, tweeting: “Thank you to everyone who came to Windsor and those who followed from around the UK, the Commonwealth, and the world today. Congratulations once again to the newly-married Duke and Duchess of Sussex. #royalwedding.”

Meghan’s friends Jessica Mulroney and Priyanka Chopra sent touching messages to the bride after the big day.

Mulroney, whose seven-year-old twins were the page boys who carried Meghan’s veil into St George’s Chapel, posted a picture of the bride walking up the steps of St George’s Chapel with her sons, saying: “Proud friend. Proud mom.”

And Chopra said the wedding “stood for change and hope.”

Describing her friend as “the epitome of grace, love and beauty”, she wrote: “Every choice made at this wedding by you both will go down in history, not just because it was your wedding but because this incredible wedding stood for change and hope. Both things that the world needs desperately.”

It’s thought the couple won’t immediately leave for their honeymoon but will stay in the UK for a while, though it is rumoured they may spend a few days in Ireland.
On Tuesday they will join Charles and Camilla on the lawns of Buckingham Palace for a Prince of Wales 70th Birthday Patronage Celebration.

Prince Charles To Walk Meghan Markle Down The Aisle

In the absence of her father, Thomas Markle Sr. who is currently ill and had just recently gone through a surgery, Meghan Markle is going to hold Prince Charles’ hands as reports have revealed the Prince will be walking her down the aisle.

Kensington Palace announced: “Ms. Meghan Markle has asked His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales to accompany her down the aisle of the Quire of St George’s Chapel on her Wedding Day.

“The Prince of Wales is pleased to be able to welcome Ms. Markle to The Royal Family in this way.”

The Prince of Wales will accompany Meghan Markle down just one half of the aisle at St George’s Chapel but no one will “give her away”.

This decision comes as a shock to some royal fans because it was thought her mother Doria Ragland would walk the bride down the aisle.

OAU Students Laments Harassment, Missed Opportunities Due To Denial Of IDs

By Abiodun Komolafe

Students of Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile Ife, have expressed their displeasure over non issuance of Identity Cards to any of them for 2016/2017 session.

OSUN DEFENDER campus reporter gathered that both fresh and returning students of the institution were not issued ID cards after they had reportedly paid a mandatory fee of N500 each as part of the miscellaneous charges by the school yearly which allegedly sum up to N17.5 million for about 35,000 students of the school.

Some students told our reporter that they have always had the issue of delay in release of identity cards until last session that they were denied means of identification totally by the school which according to them, has caused them more harm than good as they face harassment by security personnel and miss several educational opportunities that require their ID cards.

“When some of us were given part time job to do as students, we pleaded with them that it was our school which delayed the issuance of our ID cards. It is however pathetic that we become liars when the institution fails to issue us any. It is nothing but fraud”, Toheeeba Adigun, a student of Dramatic Arts said.

Eniola Olaniyan, a 300 level student explained to OSUN DEFENDER that the irregularities of the management exposed the students to assault within and outside the school, saying, “The institution charges N500 each from over 35,000 students which amounts to over N17.5 million, yet we are exposed to assault even by members of the school security personnel.

“Imagine the likes of Abiola Booster and Baba Ibeji who are the institution security personnel asking students means of Identity card when they refuse to produce any. I was delayed and embarrassed”, he said.

While narrating his ordeal, Lekan Adedoyin said he was detained at Moore Police station for two day due to inability to provide means of identification.

The spokesperson of the institution, Abiodun Olanrewaju, however ascribed the failure of the University to issue ID Cards to the students throughout the session to logistics problem.

“Identity cards were not given to our students for 2016/2017 academic session due to some logistics problem. First and foremost, the university management never collected a dime from anybody for ID card, so let us get that clear. The idea of ‘they collected money from us and they didn’t give us ID card’ is exceptionally propaganda.

“Secondly, we had some logistics with icons and we don’t want to commit any error because OAU is a brand on its own.

“Actually, the issuance of ID card for this session and for the last session are in top gear.”
