Maybe people weren't expecting it, but the funeral of the Duke of Edinburgh was strikingly elegant in its simplicity and small size. We cats approve. A few thoughts have stuck with us:
After months of pandemic-enforced casualness, in sweats and leggings and crocs, it was refreshing to see people so beautifully dressed — even if they were all in black. Fabulous hats, custom masks, stiletto heels, and oh, yes, that long coat of Princess Anne's. Perfection! (We're not sure anyone looked better than the Duchess of Cambridge, though.)
As for "the boys," all the excitement about cousin Peter Phillips walking between them was nonsense — a lame attempt by the media to gin up negativity. After all, Charles Spencer walked between them behind Diana's casket. And while Bald William is clearly all Windsor, after seeing Harry with his head bent in prayer, we have bad news: He's going to lose his lovely Hewitt head of hair, too. Count on it.
We also liked the Land Rover. More Philip-y than a Bentley, and probably nearly as expensive.
Although we haven't seen much of the Duke in these last few years, we still have a feeling we're going to miss him. Or maybe we just miss the idea of him — a manly man playing willing second fiddle to his wife for 73 years. We should all be so lucky. We cats PURR.
