In a convincing display of the contradictions of public taste this week, it has been almost impossible to avoid the M people with the first name out of the hat, of course, being the Double M herself, Meghan Markle.

For a country which all but shed its connections to royalty in 1922, and then in entirety with the removal of the Oath Act of 1933, Ireland has always maintained an active curiousity about the workings of the Windsors. And this week, our country demonstrated that, while it may not have allegiance, it has a different form of loyalty which can be called upon from time to time.
