This past weekend saw a television and historical event that will be
remembered for a generation or so — The Royal Wedding of Prince Harry
and Meghan Markel, now the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. And in our
modern echo chamber, you either loved it, had disdain for it, or did not
even notice that it happened. I would like to offer that most of us
missed the point of why it mattered. And it mattered because the fate
of the Galaxy hangs in the balance, though not for reasons you may be
thinking.
For 40 years we have been following the exploits of a Princess – how
she saved her rescuers, how she rallied a Rebellion against evil, and
the life we followed in the Legends novels. We were thrilled when her
King and father appeared in the prequel trilogy (and later!). These
admirable examples are the scope through which royalty, monarchy and
headship ought to be viewed.
